Summer 2016
Legacy offers fall/winter/spring programming over 25 weeks at the Sports Xcelerator Centre in Brantford. The 2015/2016 season marks the first season where Legacy offers year round beach training.
At the start of the summer of 2016, Legacy introduces a new program called the ‘Elite program”. This program was created out of necessity as enrollment surpassed court space. This is the first time Legacy had a program that was ‘try-out’ based. With a total of 90+ athletes, across 3 programs, Legacy continues to grow but with hopes of expanding and creating a bigger venue and family. First GOLD medal at provincials for Phoenix Lee and partner Tia Shum.

Summer 2014
Reid and Adam set out on a vision to build a beach volleyball club. The objective was to create a club where athletes would learn the technical skills of beach volleyball in a fun, inclusive, competitive training atmosphere, while also developing life skills like communication, work ethic, teamwork and cooperation. They found a home in the back parking lot of Burloak Sports Centre, where the facility dumped sand and setup 3 beach courts. Our first summer group had 16 athletes practicing twice a week. We called ourselves Legacy Beach.
