Canada West Volleyball Club, hosted at Rally Pointe, offers a comprehensive volleyball program aimed at developing young athletes’ skills, teamwork, and love for the game. Catering to various age groups, the program provides high-level coaching, competitive training, and opportunities for athletes to participate in regional and national tournaments. The focus is on fostering both individual growth and team dynamics, ensuring players build confidence, discipline, and a strong work ethic. Canada West Volleyball Club is dedicated to nurturing talent and preparing athletes for higher levels of competition in a supportive, inclusive environment.

A typical indoor club volleyball season is a structured, competitive period designed to develop young athletes and prepare them for high-level competition. The season generally kicks off in late November with tryouts, where athletes are evaluated, selected and then placed on teams based on skill level, age, and potential. Once teams are formed, practices typically begin immediately, often held two to three times per week, focusing on skill development, team strategies, and conditioning.

From January to April, teams participate in a series of tournaments, usually one or two per month. These tournaments, organized by either Volleyball Alberta or other facilities/clubs, provide opportunities for teams to compete against others from across the province or even nationally.

The season culminates in the Provincial Championships, typically held in April, where teams continue to compete within their age group and division. Teams often then choose to compete at the National Championships, extending the season into May. Throughout the season, players are expected to commit to regular practices, tournaments, and potentially travel, with the goal of continuous improvement and team success.

Coaches, parents, and club administrators work together to support athletes, ensuring a balance between competition, skill development, and personal growth. This structured season provides a comprehensive volleyball experience, fostering both athletic and personal development in a competitive, team-oriented environment.

At Canada West Volleyball Club, we are dedicated to developing young athletes who are passionate about the sport and eager to improve their skills. Whether you’re new to volleyball or have been playing for years, we welcome athletes of all levels to get involved and try out for our club.
