  • How much will a competitive volleyball season cost? SVC fees are expected to be approximately $1,700, with the final amount confirmed before tryouts. These fees cover facility rentals, tournament entry fees, and coach mileage and travel expenses.

All SVC coaches are volunteers, so coaching salaries are not included in the fees.

Additional expenses for travel, accommodation, extra play days, and tournaments can bring the total season cost to approximately $4,000. Fundraising may help offset some of these costs. Total costs vary from season to season and may be lower in years when a team does not attend Nationals or higher if there is another major year-end travel event. 

All athletes participating on an SVC Competitive Season team, together with their families, must sign a Family and Athlete Agreement outlining the commitments and expectations of participating with the club.

Competitive Season

  • When is the season? The competitive season runs January through late April (Provincials), and into May for teams attending Nationals.
  • What tournaments are included? Teams compete in local and regional Volleyball BC tournaments, culminating in Provincial Championships. 
  • What is the attendance expectation? Regular practice attendance and full tournament attendance are expected. Please disclose any conflicts — especially around Provincials or Nationals — before the season begins, as absences can affect team seeding.

Communication & Scheduling

  • How does the club communicate? TeamSnap is the official communication channel for all team updates, scheduling, and logistics.
  • How do I raise a concern? Wait 24 hours, then communicate respectfully and privately. For unresolved issues, contact the Club President.
