Our club is based out of the Burnaby-Tri-Cities area, but we accept athletes from anywhere in the Greater Vancouver Area. Where we have more than one team at an age level we divide the teams by skill level (i.e. A and B teams).
The indoor club season generally runs from early December to the end of May. (We start practicing in January).
Teams generally have 2 practices a week and attend 4 or more tournaments/events during the season. These tournaments take place on the weekend.
Coaches have demonstrated passion for the game of volleyball and working with young athletes. All of our coaches are expected to be certified through the National Coaches Certification Program.
