Ally Carr '17 Recruiting Profile

During my 2 years on the Ontario Volleyball Association Beach Volleyball Tour I have won 12 out of 14 tournaments including back to back gold medals in the Provincial Championships in Toronto. I also entered the AAU US Midwest Open in Holland, MI and came home undefeated with another gold medal. I am honoured to be a 3-year captain and MVP for both my high school and club volleyball teams. My beach club director and all of my coaches fully believe that I have a very special package of heart, IQ, leadership and skill, and that not only will I make it, but excel at the next level. I have included in my online profiles a full listing of my athletic accomplishments including Provincial Gold Medallist in Gymnastics, Parkside Jr Athlete of the Year Award Winner and All-Time Parkside Collegiate Track & Field Records.

During my 3 years at Parkside Collegiate Institute I have put much effort into, and had much success in my academics. I have made the Honour Roll every year and I am very proud of that accomplishment, especially considering the precise time management it requires to balance my extremely busy extra-curricular schedule, coaching, and working for City of London Parks & Rec Department. My current transcript is included in my online profiles.

Being a great ambassador and team member is very important to me whether it’s my sports team, my high school or community. I am very responsible with my time so that I can participate in activities that help my school, community and others in need. At Parkside I am a peer-tutor, a 3-year member and current Vice-President of the Student Athletic Association, and was selected to represent my entire high school at the OELC Leadership Camp. I have spearheaded and joined other initiatives on my own including fundraising, community outreach and as a Coach at Beach Volleyball Academy. With my teammates from Forest City Volleyball Club, we have participated in an all-day fundraising event the past 2 years that has raised more than $67,000 for Childcan – an organization that helps families through the devastating time of dealing with childhood cancer. I was recently honoured with the SportsXpress Community Athletic Scholarship Award for my excellence in athletics and community.
