OUR STORY
What started as a way to keep our girls interested in the sport they love, has evolved into an amazing organization that has inspired our team, coaches and community.
In 2024 a group of parents saw how excited their girls were about playing volleyball with their friends. The school season is so short that the parents decided to book gym space to keep the girls involved and active in a sport they love.
In hopes of finding other local teams for the girls to play, Club Director Ulla Clark did a little research and discovered that we were just in time to register with Volleyball BC for their 2024/25 club season.
With a few bumps along the way, our players and coaches learned so much over that season, playing experienced teams from all over BC.
The learning experience from the first season helped develop and prepare our 15U girls for the 2025/26 season and even inspiring more teams to join. The 15U team had an unforgettable season, full many ups and downs but finished the season strong with a GOLD medal at the BC Provincials in their division. Such a proud moment for our small mountain town.
We are so excited for what's to come and to help build a strong, positive and supportive organization for our local youth.
