Club volleyball is designed for players that truly enjoy the sport and want to take their volleyball skills to a higher level. It is an organized, controlled, and fun way for volleyball players of varying abilities to be introduced to, continue to develop, or be challenged at the game of volleyball beyond the fall school season. New friendships, learning the game, opportunities for your daughter to expand their horizons in a safe and controlled environment, developing teamwork and communication skills, an opportunity to travel…… as you can see, club volleyball means many different things to different people, but its potential to positively impact your children are clearly evident! And depending on your commitment, goals, and level of play, there is a spot for everyone!
Our 12U to 18U teams compete locally, regionally, and nationally. Our club provides an opportunity for young individuals (elementary through high school age) to further their experience and training in volleyball through instruction from qualified coaches in practice and increased competition in tournaments throughout the province, region, and nation. KW Predators VBC is dedicated to serving our student-athletes and parents in all aspects of club volleyball.

Tips for Parents:
The purpose of tryouts at KW Predators VBC is to assess an individual player’s abilities to place the player on the appropriate level team so they may have fun, improve and excel during the upcoming volleyball season.
To accomplish this goal, our top-level coaches evaluate players as they participate in drills designed to test their basic volleyball skills. Players are evaluated by multiple coaches throughout the course of the tryout session; the coaches then work together on the team placement process.
There is no tryout or registration fee.

If you plan to have your child tryout for our 6 v 6 Rallyball (13U) or our TLS (14U) rep teams, you should consider registering for the age appropriate Developmental Program as well. This will ensure that your child has a spot in our developmental program, in case they do not get selected for one of our rep teams. If your child does get selected to the rep team, the fee you paid for the Developmental Program will be refunded.

All travel expenses and lodging are the responsibility of the player/parent.
We have an open door policy with our parents and encourage them to communicate with our staff. This policy does not exist during tournaments and practices; we ask that all parents observe a 24 hour rule during and after tournaments to allow for a "cooling off" period before approaching a coach with any staff/parent discussions/issues.
At KW Predators, we believe playing time is earned, not given. Playing time is determined by the coach based on several criteria including attendance, practice, attitude, game performance and skill. KW Predators is a competitive volleyball environment and the teams are administered that way. The exception to this is for Fair Play Age Groups where all players will receive meaningful playing time.
*Playing time and related issues are encouraged to be resolved between player and coach. After such meetings, if the issue still remains then a formal meeting with the player, coach and an Executive Member will be held.*
Dues may be paid in full or on a payment schedule of payments as to be described once fees are calculated for the season. Financial assistance may be available upon review.
