Performance that Speaks
“PISE is an amazing facility that gives us athletes the opportunity to be our healthiest and strongest selves! The staff are helpful and the trainers are always there for us to answer questions and cheer us on! Shoutout Devin and Eric.”
“Working with PISE is an essential part of our training environment. Their top‑tier facility allows us to deliver a program that meets the standards of our Pacific FC teams, and the strength and conditioning spaces, paired with the expertise of their coaches and staff adds tremendous value to our athletes’ development. PISE truly feels like our home, lifting each other up makes this partnership something we’re proud to be part of.”
“PISE is an exceptional venue for all facets of training (on-field training, lifting in the gym or classroom sessions). Our team is always impressed with the quality of the facility. Our team trains with Chris Hinton & his coaching staff in the gym – their programming is top notch, and they push our athletes to improve during every session.”
“Our team began training at the beginning of September 2025, with sessions held twice a week. These sessions focus on building strength, mobility, and endurance, while also incorporating recovery and injury-prevention work to support long-term athlete development. We have seen noticeable progress in the athletes’ strength and power throughout their training at PISE. The consistent sessions have helped them build overall strength, mobility, and endurance. The trainers at PISE are highly knowledgeable and professional. They demonstrated strong expertise in strength and conditioning, athlete development, and injury prevention while providing clear instruction and support to the athletes. The players enjoyed the training throughout the season.”
Canadian Sport School
Established in 2011 by Canadian Sport Institute Pacific (CSI Pacific), the Canadian Sport School is delivered across the province of B.C. by viaSport Regional Alliance organizations, which PISE is a part of. The school facilitates a high performance culture amongst like-minded athletes while providing support, coordination and advocacy between student-athletes, their high school teachers and sport coaches. Elite high school athletes can struggle to manage their time, commitments and the demands of being a student along with the expectations of being a high performance athlete striving for excellence. The Canadian Sport School helps alleviate these pressures of balancing athletics and academics.
The school welcomes approximately 30 students each year from grades 10, 11, and 12 from a variety of sport backgrounds and schools in the Greater Victoria area (School Districts #61, 62 and 63 all participate). The student athletes spend half of their day at their regular high school taking required academic courses, and half of their day with the Canadian Sport School at PISE.
Performance that Speaks
“Students at the Canadian Sport School are surrounded by role models who lead with integrity and mutual respect, cultivating a positive environment and a strong, healthy mindset. Since he joined the CSS, I see that my son’s commitment to learning and sport has grown. He loves starting his day at CSS which sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. CSS has been instrumental in helping him develop not just as an athlete and student, but as a healthy, confident, social, and motivated young person. Thanks so much, CSS team!”
NCCP Locker: Pathways
Unsure of what courses you need in your sport specific pathway? Use this link to select your sport and look at the different courses that are required to complete your Comp-Intro and Comp-Dev pathways. Please keep in mind that each National Sport Organization (NSO) requires different courses depending on the sport. Some pathways are integrated (i.e. Rowing Planning a Practice), where the coach takes specific courses offered through that NSO to meet the requirements of that sport level. Other sports are de-integrated, where their sport pathway includes multi-sport modules (i.e. Basic Mental Skills) for coaches to take to meet the requirements of that sport level.
