Club volleyball starts at 12U (Sept 2011 - Dec 2012) for girls and boys. The 12U boys will typically compete in 13U boys events, and sometimes versus 14U teams.

*Players younger than 12U may also tryout

The first day of tryouts will be within the following weeks:

12U/13U/14U - Week of November 19, 2023

15U - Week of November 26th , 2023

16U/17U/18U - Week of December 3rd (or after HS Provincials)

Athletes will be offered a position after tryouts via email within 48-72 hours. At this point, coaches will email athletes and parents provide specific information about training schedules, payment, tournament schedules, etc. Team lists will also be posted on the KVC homepage as soon as teams are finalized.

Delays in confirming teams are a result of having to wait for athletes commitment and signing dates, there is often movement with athlete placement and it allows the selection committee some flexibility when selecting athletes.

Each season, several clubs use the Early Signing Date to pre-sign athletes for their teams. Volleyball BC put the Early Signing Date in place to accommodate and promote loyalty between athletes and clubs, returning athletes are permitted to sign with their previous club during the Early Signing Date. At Kelowna Volleyball Club, we believe that athletes deserve an equal fair evaluation at tryouts, where every athlete is present. We also believe athletes deserve the opportunity to also tryout for all local clubs.

Club season doesn’t officially kick off until January, with evaluations taking place mid-November through to the start of December. If you can’t see the schedule yet, it means that our club is still working on it, so hang tight!

KVC players train throughout the city of Kelowna/West Kelowna. We train in elementary, middle, high school, and private gyms.

Exact times and locations vary based on the coaches’ availability on the team you are placed on. Times are not finalized at this time. Times will be available by December.

There is no structured league play in volleyball. The KVC season schedule is tournament based and the schedule will be set by each coach. The season of play is January to early May.

That’s a difficult one to answer, as it varies from team to team. The younger teams who travel less, have lower fees. The older teams, who travel more, have higher fees. The HP (high performance) not something offered for all age groups, have additional tournaments and have a longer season, so they have higher fees. KVC does not, in any way, profit off your fees. As a not-for-profit organization, it is a “money in, money out” situation. VBC sets the fees for tournaments. The KVC swag is also included in your athlete’s fees, that includes t-shirts, socks, hoodie, jersey and backpack. Every year the gear pack changes a little bit, so don’t quote us on exact goodies in the goodie bag, but gear is included in the fees.
