2023 Youth Beach Tournament Schedule. Click Here To View Schedule.
Last year there was a total of 9 tournaments with VBC this included 4 sand series in Penticton Kamloops and in Vancouver, there is also The Vancouver open, Kits fest, Provincials and Nationals that all take place in Vancouver at either Spanish banks or Kitsilano beach.
The season will Officially start on the 5th June and ends on the 31s of July just after Provincials in Vancouver. We will have a special training group in August for athletes wanting to compete in National Championships.
If you are interested in training with Energy this summer, fees will be $695.00 for the season.
All training will be at Kelowna's City Park (3 courts on the water side), and we also have access to a private professional court in West Kelowna for specific advanced training groups.
We do have limited space, our courts are already reserved for the summer and the first tournament is the high school open May 27-28th. Athletes are must sign up for the events they want to participate in on the VBC website, the cost is approximately $40 for each event but you must sign up as a group of 2 so total is approx. 80 + tax.
There is no training on the weekends because of tournaments, Wayne and/or Euan will be at all the tournaments to support the players who want to compete. The first week of club (tryouts) will be determining the size of training groups going forward.
Having a partner for beach is not necessary to begin training, we start as a group and coaches will determine partners for events based on skill levels and commitment to some or all events. Some exceptions for past partners!
More about Beach Volleyball with +Energy
We have been training at the beach courts at City Park in Kelowna BC since we began just a few short years ago. We are also lucky enough to have our own state of the art private court in West Kelowna with all of the trimmings - 9' net surround, professional targets, AirCat Serving machine and dozens of AVP OPTX balls for advanced training days as well as fully lit playing area for late evening practices.
During the months of June, July and August beach volleyball becomes our life. Our athletes have the opportunity to train all week and compete almost every weekend and as a result our core group of athletes are competition based. However it must be noted that we also have athletes who simply wish to play beach just so that they can keep in shape and get touches on the ball until indoor starts up again in the fall. The choice is yours.
95% of our athletes train year round moving from indoor to the beach and then to back to their respective high school volleyball teams. All of our club coaches also volunteer as head coaches in many different schools in the Okanagan during school season, so it is safe to say that volleyball is in our blood.
Several of our athletes have won multiple tournaments including the VBC Sand Series, Vancouver Open, Kits Festival, Provincials and Nationals and the list goes on and on. We absolutely love competing and encouraging any and all of our athletes to participate in as many tournaments as possible.
Beach Volleyball is an amazing experience not only for the athletes but for the parents as well that get to sit back on the beach and watch there athletes play the sport they love while enjoying the beautiful summer weather.
