Operations Suspended

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and the inability to secure practice facilities, the Waterloo Volleyball Club has suspended operations until it is safe to return to the court.

This means that our programs are unable to operate at this time. All competitive teams are not allowed to gather together to practice indoors. All development programs (VDP / Selects) are unable to proceed – the Spring VDP session is cancelled. Summer Camps in July/August 2021 are cancelled.

The number of positive results in Waterloo Region over the past several weeks have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact the ability to secure safe locations for our athletes to gather to enjoy the game of volleyball.

The Waterloo Tigers family hope to start our programs again in the Fall of 2021. Please keep an eye out for more information as we try to provide more information in a more timely fashion.

A tentative VDP schedule for Fall, Winter, and Spring will be posted on the website.

Thank you.
Waterloo Volleyball Club

Pepper Challenge

The Pepper Challenge has been on social media sites promoting a way for teams to be active during the COVID-19 pandemic while being physically distant. Have a look at what our Tigers 15u Apex team put together.

COVID-19 Pandemic

With the global pandemic impacting all parts of our life, we are unfortunately unable to complete the volleyball season.

As you probably already heard, the Ontario Volleyball Association has cancelled the end of year OVA Championships. This cancellation follows what other sports leagues are doing: Olympics postponed to 2021, OHL/QMJHL/WHL playoffs cancelled / Memorial Cup cancelled / NHL season halted / NBA season halted / MLS season halted / PGA Tour postponed / MLB postponed etc.

Unfortunately, we are in the midst of a global health crisis which is impacting the daily lives of everyone - no matter their citizenship, their age, their gender, or financial status. Since health and safety are top priorities for all of us, we need to be wise with how we go about our daily routines. This includes avoiding gathering with others - social distancing and self isolation. That means we are unable to get together, at this time and in the near future, to host team practices.

We will eventually get through this crisis and we will be able to come together again and celebrate the game of volleyball. However, we need to patiently wait for this issue to become under control so we can return to the game of volleyball.
