​


We are excited for the 2021 volleyball club season!  Although the club season will look and feel quite different, we acknowledge the efforts and guidance of the provincial government, ViaSport BC, and Volleyball BC to provide young athletes to compete in a safe environment.

For the 2021 club volleyball season, TPVC will run teams at 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, and 18U.  Click on each age category for more, specific information related to that group.  Volleyball BC has introduced a new application process to reduce numbers of athletes gathering for club tryouts.  Clubs have been encouraged to pre-sign existing athletes, so in many cases, tryout sessions may not be necessarily.  2021 athlete selection will be completed in three periods:
  • Period 1:  October 15 to November 15.  Returning athletes may receive a pre-sign offer to return.
  • Period 2:  November 16 to December 15.  Athletes may apply for a position with TPVC by completing a Volleyball BC Athlete Application.  We will also post application forms from our website.  
  • Period 3:  December 16 to January 14.  If any remaining spots are available, TPVC will post tryout dates on our website. Tryouts will be begin on or after January 15.
