Rep 2026-2027 Newsletter
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 season, we are excited to officially launch another year of EVP Eagles Volleyball.
Whether you are a returning Eagle, a prospective athlete exploring our program for the first time, or a family considering joining our club, we are thrilled to share what promises to be the biggest and most exciting season in EVP Eagles history.
Over the past year, our athletes, coaches, and families helped make this one of the most successful seasons our club has ever experienced. We celebrated a record number of tournament medals and Top 3 finishes across Ontario, earned multiple Division 1 Tier 1 finishes, and continued to establish EVP Eagles as one of the premier developmental volleyball clubs in the province.
More importantly, we watched hundreds of athletes grow in confidence, develop lifelong friendships, and discover a deeper love for the game.
As we look ahead to 2026-2027, our focus remains the same: providing exceptional coaching, creating unforgettable experiences, and helping every athlete reach their full potential both on and off the court.
This season marks an exciting new chapter for EVP Eagles. With our expansion into Mississauga, the growth of our Rep program from 15 to 24 teams, the addition of outstanding new coaches, and more opportunities than ever before for athletes to train and compete, the future of EVP Eagles has never been brighter.
We are proud of what we have built together, and even more excited about where we are going next.
WHAT’S NEW FOR 2026-2027
Expansion to Mississauga
EVP Volleyball is proud to officially expand into Mississauga.
With programming based out of Fit Courts Mississauga and additional local schools, we are beginning the next chapter of EVP Volleyball. This expansion will allow us to provide more opportunities for athletes while continuing to deliver the high-quality coaching and development EVP has become known for. All 3 locations that we will be using in Mississauga are within a 10 minute drive of the EVP Beach facility.
At Fit courts for the first time in years EVP will be running its own 12 team invitational tournaments allowing our teams to have an easy local drive to get to additional tournaments hosted by EVP.
Rep Program Growth
This season EVP Eagles will expand from 15 teams to 24 teams.
This growth allows us to create more opportunities for athletes while maintaining competitive team environments and high coaching standards across every age group.
Additional Travel Opportunities
Several age groups will now feature multiple travel teams, creating more opportunities for athletes to compete at a high level and experience some of North America’s best tournaments.
Enhanced Coach Development
Our coaching staff will continue to receive mentorship, training, and support throughout the season to ensure every athlete benefits from consistent teaching philosophies and development pathways.

THE EVP DIFFERENCE
At EVP Eagles, we believe great volleyball programs are built on much more than wins and losses.
We believe in creating environments where athletes feel challenged, supported, valued, and inspired.
We believe every athlete deserves coaches who care about them as people first and players second.
We believe that confidence built on a volleyball court can carry into classrooms, friendships, careers, and every other part of life.
Our coaches are committed to teaching the game the right way, creating positive team cultures, and helping athletes develop skills that extend far beyond volleyball.
When you join EVP Eagles, you are joining a community that genuinely cares about your growth and success.
A MESSAGE FROM MATT GREEN
Volleyball has been one of the greatest gifts of my life.
It has introduced me to lifelong friends, incredible mentors, unforgettable experiences, and opportunities I never imagined when I first stepped onto a volleyball court.
What makes this sport so special is that it teaches lessons that reach far beyond the game itself. It teaches resilience when things don’t go your way. It teaches accountability to your teammates. It teaches confidence, leadership, communication, and the value of working toward something bigger than yourself.
Every year, I watch athletes walk into our gym nervous, unsure of themselves, and wondering if they belong. Then over the course of a season, I watch those same athletes become stronger, more confident, and more capable than they ever thought possible.
That transformation is why we coach.
Our coaches don’t spend countless hours in gyms because they love standing on a volleyball court. They do it because they love watching young athletes discover what they’re capable of.
The EVP community is built by people who genuinely love this game and who care deeply about helping the next generation experience the same joy, friendships, and opportunities that volleyball has given us.
Whether this is your first year with EVP Eagles or your fifth, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey.
We are incredibly excited about the season ahead and cannot wait to get started.
Welcome to the Eagles Family.
