BC Youth Volleyball was formed to provide youth with an opportunity and options to learn and compete in the sport of volleyball.

BC Youth Volleyball will focus primarily on individual development and team concepts. Success will not be determined by championships and trophies. Instead, success will be achieved if players & teams show improvement over time.

Our coaching staff and administrators are volunteers, each with full-time jobs. We do not maintain BC Youth Volleyball for a paycheck. We are dedicated to developing athletes, not only in the sport of volleyball but as young adults also. We strive to develop each athlete to their potential and to expose them to the best competition possible while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Besides the learning experience and improvement we hope each athlete receives, we hope each one has fun as they participate.
