Aspiring Athlete

Welcome to

Do you have goals of playing post-secondary ball in Canada or the USA?

If so, you’ve come to the right place! We’re all about giving you top tier training and recruiting support to help you reach your goals, with personalized coaching and guidance every step of the way.

What makes us special?

At Aspiring Athlete, we’re all about empowering student-athletes to become future leaders. Our founders—an NCAA Division 1 football player turned pro in the CFL (Maleki) and a USport volleyball player who played professionally overseas (Nikki)—oversee every aspect of our training. We’re passionate about helping you develop essential life skills while you pursue your personal goals. Our exclusive programs are open only through invitation or application, allowing you to connect with fellow athletes dedicated to growth. We emphasize more than just competition; we cultivate discipline, teamwork, leadership, and resilience—skills that will help you succeed both on and off the court. Additionally, we offer recruiting resources to support our long-term athletes as they navigate their athletic journeys.

Inspire Volleyball

Our Inspire Volleyball camps and clinics welcome athletes of all levels in middle and high school. Held at various gyms across the Lower Mainland, these programs aim to reach as many local athletes as possible while providing a fun and challenging environment for skill development.

Unlike our invitation-only Aspiring Athlete programs, these camps and clinics are open to everyone. Designed for beginner to intermediate levels, they are led by our experienced Aspiring Athlete coaches, local club coaches, and former collegiate athletes, ensuring top-notch instruction that builds both skills and confidence in every participant.

  • Coach Nikki has had such a significant impact on my volleyball journey, both on and off the court. Coach Nikki’s guidance helped my skill development and gave me the confidence to pursue post-secondary volleyball with a strong mindset. I honestly don’t think I’d be where I am today without her support and coaching.
