The Langley Christian Lightning alum and member of the two-time CIS national champion Trinity Western Spartans men’s volleyball team, is training with Canada’s national B team this summer.

The six-foot-eight middle blocker led Trinity Western with 116 blocks last season, averaging 1.61 per set.

He also had 1.69 kills per set.

Jansen Van Doorn is entering his fifth season with the Spartans  in the fall.

Jansen Van Doorn was chosen along with two of his Spartan teammates, Steven Marshall and Lucas Van Berkel.

The three were among the 21 announced to the roster by Volleyball Canada on May 16.

They were among the 44 invited to the tryout camp at the National Training Centre in Gatineau, Que.

The team will remain in Gatineau until July 6 as they prepare for the Pan Am Cup, which will be contested in the Dominican Republic in July.
