Program Overview

The High Performers Program is a specialized program where elite athletes can train their specific sport during the morning, Monday to Thursday, and then attend a High Performers Program school in the afternoon, and full day on Fridays where they will receive all their academic credits. This program allows the student/athlete to complete their education with a consolidated school schedule and provides the daily flexibility that allows student-athletes the time to train in their sport.

Volleyball High Performers Program (Mississauga)

The Volleyball High Performers Program (Mississauga) is an athlete centred program focusing on fundamental skill development, movement literacy, and integrated strength and conditioning that are age/development appropriate. This program is offered by the nationally acclaimed Pakmen Volleyball Club and is open to athletes who already play rep volleyball and are in grades 7 to 12. The program runs, Monday to Thursday mornings throughout the school year at the Pakmen Courts in Mississauga. Athletes attend a high performers school in the afternoon. Athletes are expected to attend school on Fridays.

The Peel Region District School Board and the Toronto District School board both offer High Performers Programs and participants do not have to live in the school or board boundaries to attend one of their HPP schools.

The following schools offer the High Performer Program:

Middle School – Dolphin Sr. Public School (Mississauga) & Hollycrest Middle School (Etobicoke)

High School – Mississauga Secondary School (Mississauga) & Silverthorn Collegiate Institute (Etobicoke)

Athlete Centred Philosophy

Training is based on individual development. Professional NCCP volleyball certified full time coaches lead each program with a low coach to athlete ratio allowing for lots of personal feedback, ball contacts and progress for athlete success. Unfortunately, our young development athletes often spend more time in competition and competition preparation than in training and development. Practice time is typically spent on developing team systems in preparation for games. While this produces short term success on the court, the technical skills of our athletes are being left behind. The High Performers Program aims to counter this trend with training sessions focused on individual skill, movement, and strength and conditioning development.

Tendinopathy is the number one cause of athletic injury. Isophit strength training helps build tendon strength. This added tendon strength increases the athlete's ability to tolerate and generate force.
