MORE THAN VOLLEYBALL
TriCity Volleyball Club is more than a place to train; it's a community where athletes develop confidence, character, and a lifelong love for the game.
As an official Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) Member Club for the 2026–2027 competitive season, we are proud to provide athletes with a recognized pathway for development and competition while maintaining our commitment to athlete well-being, inclusion, and long-term growth. Learn more about the OVA at Ontario Volleyball Association.
From a player's first serve to high-performance competition, our programs support every stage of development. Guided by experienced coaches with backgrounds in OVA, U SPORTS, NCAA, and national-level programs, we focus on developing skilled athletes, strong teammates, and confident young leaders.
We're building something special for Waterloo Region, a place where athletes belong, families connect, and volleyball thrives.
And we're just getting started!
Developing athletes.
Building community.
Growing the game in Waterloo Region.
Built for Athletes.
Powered by Community.
TriCity Volleyball Club is a not-for-profit, run by a 13-member volunteer Board of Directors comprised of local business leaders and community sport advocates.
We exist to make volleyball:
More accessible. More intentional. More impactful.
Because youth sport only works when a community shows up—coaches, families, and volunteers together.
Looking to help build something special, something bigger than volleyball?

From Local Need to Regional Growth
Limited roster spots, rising demand, and few development pathways left athletes on the sidelines. TriCity Volleyball was created to open doors, expand access, and give players a clear path forward in the game.
Play with confidence. Develop with purpose. Compete at their level.
Every player has a path forward.
