Volleyball Manitoba is Hiring a Program Manager & Technical Coordinator!

Volleyball Manitoba (VM) is the governing organization for the sport of volleyball in the province. Our mission is to lead and support the growth and excellence of volleyball in Manitoba. Incorporated in 1977 as a non-profit association, VM services the needs of its membership, which includes athletes (high performance, developmental, and recreational), coaches, and officials.

Job Summary:

Volleyball Manitoba is seeking to fill a maternity leave vacancy through one or two term positions, depending on the successful candidate(s). We are currently recruiting for a Term Technical Coach (Team Manitoba) and a Term Program Manager, which together support the delivery of our Provincial Performance and Team Manitoba programs, as well as broader organizational initiatives. Applicants may apply to one or both positions. In certain circumstances, these roles may be combined for a candidate who demonstrates the required technical expertise and program management capacity.

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS JUNE 12, 2026.

Volleyball Manitoba is excited to share details for the 2026 High School Beach Open, taking place May 27–30, 2026.

This is a fun beach volleyball tournament featuring Junior Varsity and Varsity:

• Girls 2’s and 3’s
• Boys 2’s and 3’s

Event Schedule & Locations:

Junior Varsity – May 27 & 28
Locations: Maple Grove Rugby Park and Sargent Park

Varsity – May 29 & 30
Locations: Maple Grove Rugby Park and Sargent Park

Registration Process:

Only teachers or school admin can complete the registration forms.

Registration for the High School Beach Open will be conducted by lottery.

To be considered for participation, you must complete the lottery registration form using the provided link below. Failure to submit a lottery registration will result in ineligibility for the event.

 Key details:

• Each team must be entered separately in the appropriate lottery registration form.
• There are eight distinct lottery registration forms—please review carefully to ensure teams are entered correctly.
• The deadline to submit all lottery registrations is April 27.

Schools selected through the lottery will be notified by May 1 and will receive further registration instructions at that time.

No special exceptions will be made.

Schools may submit multiple entries per division; however, no more than two teams per school will be selected through the lottery.

Submitting multiple entries does not increase the likelihood of selection beyond the two-team maximum.

Volleyball Manitoba recognizes that there is overlap between the High School Beach Open and the Volleyball Canada National Championships for some athletes. This was not a decision made lightly. A number of alternative scheduling options were explored; however, due to the broader provincial and national competition calendar, along with logistical constraints, no viable alternatives were identified that would avoid all conflicts. As a result, the event dates will remain as scheduled. We understand that this may require some athletes to make difficult decisions, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to provide meaningful opportunities within a very condensed and complex competition calendar.

We look forward to a great event and to seeing athletes out on the sand.

As of April 1st, 2026, the Government of Manitoba’s Protecting Youth in Sports Act is now officially enacted. As a result, all Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs) are now mandated to adopt Sport Manitoba’s Safe Sport Policy Manual. In compliance with the Act, our organization has formally adopted the following Sport Manitoba safe sport policies:

1) Code of Conduct and Ethics Policy;

2) Discipline and Complaints Policy;

3) Alternate Dispute Resolution Policy;

4) Appeal Policy;

5) Respect in Sport Policy; and

6) Coach Screening Policy Minimum Requirements.

These policies outline critical information for all stakeholders including, but not limited to, behaviour expectations for participants, procedures for handling complaints of maltreatment, disciplinary measures that can be imposed if someone is found to have engaged in maltreatment, and coach education and screening requirements.

These policies apply to all PSO-sanctioned clubs, teams, programs, and individuals operating under Volleyball Manitoba’s authority. This means all clubs must comply with The Protecting Youth in Sports Act and safe sport policies.

Importantly, all allegations of maltreatment must be reported directly to an Independent Third Party (ITP) mechanism. Member clubs, teams, or individuals must not manage, assess, or investigate maltreatment complaints internally. The ITP is responsible for receiving, reviewing, and managing all allegations of maltreatment, ensuring independent, unbiased, and safe handling of each case.

Please visit our new safe sport page to access new safe sport resources including, but not limited to:

● The Safe Sport Policy Manual

● The ITP reporting mechanism

● Guidelines on how to report maltreatment

● Safe sport information for young athletes and parents

As an organization dedicated to ensuring all participants have positive experiences in sport, we are committed to these enhanced safe sport measures and will continue to help establish a maltreatment-free sport environment.
