Welcome to the Home of the Barrie Elites Volleyball Club
The Barrie Elites Volleyball Club is an executive-based, not for profit organization. We offer competitive volleyball for the elite level boys and girls aged 12-18 in the Barrie and surrounding area. The club was created in 2004 by a group of parents and coaches who believe that a club should work cooperatively to create an environment where:
- athletes, parents, and coaches foster an interest, appreciation, and love of volleyball at the grassroots level
- young athletes have the opportunity to develop their skills through playing at competitive levels with access to regional, provincial, and national programs and competitions
- athletes can reach their full potential both on and off the court through excellence in coaching and community
-
volleyball becomes a more recognized sport in the community.
We will endeavour to provide the best volleyball experience that we possibly can. We also want to provide an opportunity to develop volleyball skills, build friendships, and teach team building skills.
The Barrie Elites Volleyball Club is a member of the Ontario Volleyball Association. The teams participate in tournaments during the months of October to April. The Ontario Volleyball Association establishes the location of each tournament and the tournaments are usually played in the Greater Toronto Area, although it is possible to travel to other locations in Ontario.
In order to achieve our objectives, the club has two areas of player development:
As mentioned, the Barrie Elites offer competitive volleyball and participates in the tournaments offered through the Ontario Volleyball Association. Tryouts are usually held in September of each year.
Our coaches are considered the best in the area. We encourage all our coaches to continue their training by obtaining their Coaching Certification (at least Level 1) and we provide an assistant coach for each team, when possible. All coaches and assistants volunteer their time throughout the season.
