Segada

The 15U Boys team name is Segada.  This name was chosen due to its historical significance to the local community.  It comes from a now extinct language of the Iroquois people called Laurentian.

History records that several dialects of Laurentian may have existed in the 16th century in the St. Lawrence River valley. Since only sparse records were made by Jacques Cartier during his voyages, the Laurentians may have indeed spoken several distinct languages. At least one Laurentian word may still be in use today: the word "canada", meaning village in Laurentian. Jacques Cartier used the word to describe both the region and the river that it crosses.

In 1545, Jacques Cartier published a journal of his voyages and included a short list of Laurentian words. One of the included words was the word “segada”, which means one (1).  This represents the team philosophy of one team (not a group of individuals).

Team Information
The focus of the 15U boys team will be on the development of the athlete (Training to Train).  This includes both skill and cognitive development, as well as basic volleyball tactics and team skills.  The Pegasus Volleyball Club supports the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) program.  To learn more, visit the Volleyball Canada website at www.volleyball.ca and click on LTAD.

The coaching team is committed to providing each athlete with a valuable developmental experience.  Each athlete will be provided with an equal opportunity to learn.  The coaching team, however, cannot guarantee equal playing time. It is the intent of the coaching team to get each athlete involved in matches, but this may not always happen.  Please note that the allocation of playing time is at the coaches discretion and is not up for negotiation.  We would encourage parents to be the athlete’s biggest supporter both in and out of competition.

Please feel free to contact the coaching team via email should you have any additional questions.
