Lakehead Public Schools Introduces the LPS Superior Volleyball Academy
Feb 5, 2026
Lakehead Public Schools is pleased to offer the LPS Superior Volleyball Academy at Superior Collegiate and Vocational Institute (SCVI) for student athletes in Grades 9 and 10 who are committed to developing their volleyball skills while achieving academic success.
The Volleyball Academy is a co educational, skills based program that integrates volleyball training directly into the school day. Students enrolled in the academy will earn two high school credits through physical education while participating in a structured program designed to support both athletic and academic growth. In addition to volleyball skill development, the academy emphasizes teamwork, leadership, discipline, and personal development—qualities that support success both in school and beyond.
Who Should Consider Applying
This academy is intended for students who have recent experience playing volleyball on an organized team, whether through school, club, or community programs. Applicants should be motivated to train consistently, demonstrate responsibility and commitment, and value academic achievement alongside athletic development. Students who are willing to invest time and effort into improving their volleyball skills, overall fitness, and understanding of the game will benefit most from this program.
Program Structure
The LPS Superior Volleyball Academy serves students in Grades 9 and 10 and provides two Physical Education credits. Programming includes volleyball skill development and game play, strength and conditioning, and classroom based learning connected to fitness, health, nutrition, and athletic development. Instruction and training will take place in SCVI’s gymnasium, weight room, and classroom spaces. Academy courses are scheduled within the regular school day and the program is designed to ensure students remain on track to meet all Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) graduation requirements.
Enrolment and Selection
Enrolment in the Volleyball Academy is limited to approximately 30 students. Submission of an application indicates interest and commitment but does not guarantee acceptance. Final placement decisions are made by the Student Services team, taking into consideration a student’s readiness and commitment, the suitability of the program for the individual learner, and the ability to create a timetable that works within the student’s overall academic program. Families are encouraged to carefully consider both the academic and time commitments required when deciding to apply.
