Community Youth Volleyball
Join the excitement of our Community Youth Volleyball! This grassroots initiative focuses on delivering age-appropriate playing and training opportunities for athletes who are not involved in club volleyball. Over 500 players in the past year have participated in seasonal programming in Winnipeg and communities across the province.
Winter 2026
This Winter, several communities across Manitoba will be hosting Winter Community Youth Volleyball.
