For 2025 VVA will be offering opportunities for play for the following age categories:
13/14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, & 18U Girls and Boys
Volleyball Canada – 2025 Age Categories
*18U: Athletes born from September 1, 2007 to Dec 31 2008
17U: Athletes born from September 1, 2008 to Dec 31 2009
16U: Athletes born from September 1, 2009 to Dec 31 2010
15U: Athletes born from September 1, 2010 to Dec 31 2011
14U: Athletes born from September 1, 2011 to Dec 31 2012
*A team roster for the 18U category can include 2 athletes born from Jan 1 – Aug 31 2007, as long as they are NOT part of any USport, CCAA, or other post-secondary volleyball program for the current season (Oct 1 2025 – May 1 2026)
Players typically should register for tryouts for their age group, please do not register in multiple age categories. Coaches will assess and determine the proper placement for the player. For instance, a child born in 2012 would normally participate in the 14U age category in the 2026 season. This setup ensures that players are matched with peers of the same age and school grade.
Club Volleyball provides opportunities for players and coaches to participate in quality programs that cater to various levels of play beyond the traditional school season. The BC club season runs from January to May.
VVA is committed to providing opportunities for youth volleyball for boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18. This will be VVA’s 33rd season of club volleyball and we are in preparation for the 2026 season ahead. Coaches and players are expected to make a commitment to attend all practices, tournaments, and play days. The club season involves significant travel to the Lower Mainland and Up Island, including occasional overnight trips.
All registrants will receive an email 2-3 days before tryouts begin, to confirm final times and locations. Live updates will be posted to this page.
