Team Canada Volleyball FTC

Great picture from FTC's trip to France with all of the CREPS and youth national team coaches. They were extremely accommodating and made for an awesome 2 weeks in France.

On Monday, the FTC guys had a blast playing and working with the Ottawa Mavericks U13 team. They were very enthusiastic and there was great energy on the court. Some skills were taught and even some game play with everyone involved! Best of luck this weekend in provincials Mavs!

Great demo at École dl'Orée-des-Bois today for FTC. Great crowd and energy from all the elementary kids! Thanks for a great afternoon.

Team Canada FTC played 4 matches last week to start off their France trip. Here are a few highlights. Match 1 vs CNVB Canada won 4 straight sets against the young and talented C.R.E.P.S kids. It was the first match in a long time and the guys put together a strong performance. Jarron Mueller led the offense with Dane Pischke as the top scorer with 16 points (15 kills, 1 block) followed by Tristan Aubry with 15 points (10 kills, 2 blocks, 3 aces). Kevin Lebreax from Ottawa, On...tario played with CNVB and racked up 5 kills and 2 blocks. Match 2 vs Montpellier (pro A) This was a great challenge for the guys as Montpellier was an experienced team. After a strong start from Montpellier, the FTC guys adjusted to the speed of the game and finished with 16 blocks as a team. Braden Mclean and Andre Brown had 5 blocks a piece. The pro team prevailed in a tight fifth set and won 3-2. Josh Howatson lead a stable offense with Dan Groenveld (17 points), Braden Mclean (17 points) and Logan Keoughan (16 points). Match 3 vs Ales (pro B) l This game had a ecstatic environment with over 600 students attending the game. They were cheering loud and provided a great atmosphere to play in! FTC started out a little nervous getting used to a great serving Ales team and a loud gym. Ales won the first 3 sets, and FTC won the last 2. FTC rotated their line-up and top scorers were Colton Deman with 12 kills, 2 aces and Dane Pischke with 10 kills, 2 blocks, 1 ace. We thank the Club of Ales for hosting and a great event. Match 4 vs Narbonne After a tough first set, the FTC guys rallied to win the next 3 sets and take the match 3-1. Passing stabilized and adjustments were made against Narbonne's crafty and experienced attackers. Top scorers were Colton Deman with 17 points (16 kills, 1 ace) and Bryan Fraser with 10 points (9 kills, 1 block).
