Still, the goal in six years is both indoors and on the beach.

The club aims to continue its growth as long as three things are present: a safe facility, a committed coach and passionate athletes. In 2012, LVC began as a venture to provide greater opportunities, focusing on increasing interest amongst the age 4-12 demographic. During the inaugural season, LVC entered the Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) with 14 competitive teams (4 boys teams, 10 girls teams).

As is evident by this Annual Report, we have made great strides in many areas, and there is still so much more work to be done. Highlights for me, especially as a men’s national team alumnus, include the men’s bronze medal at the 2017 World League finals and that team’s World Championship qualification. As well, it’s great to see the women’s indoor team progress at its home base in Richmond, and convincingly beating Cuba to qualify for the World Championships last fall. Needless to say, we’ve seen world-class strides made on the beach side over the past several years – for the first time having a world number 1 ranked team on the beach tour on the women’s side this past year, and both the men and women medaling at the first-ever Commonwealth Games beach tournament in Australia. Our sitting athletes are a constant source of inspiration to so many, including myself, and it’s great to see them working so hard toward Paralympic Games qualification. I was also very impressed by the work done leading up to and including the major Nationals event in Edmonton.

It has certainly been an action-packed year for volleyball in Canada. We all shared in the excitement of Canada’s performance in 2013 World League. The Canadian team won its pool, advancing to the playoffs and winning a memorable battle against the Olympic gold medalist Russian team, ultimately finishing fifth overall. The team’s performance resulted in a seven-place gain in the World Rankings – from 18th to 11th. At the World League Council annual meeting at the FIVB (international volleyball federation) head office in Lausanne, Switzerland in December 2013, a new expanded “ground-breaking” structure for the FIVB’s premier annual men’s volleyball event was announced, expanding from 18 countries to 28 for the first time. And, as you are aware, Volleyball Canada was pleased to announce host cities – Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton - for World League early in 2014.

  • The Case of Former Ontario University Athletic (OUA) Volleyball Players
    An Exploration of Factors that Influence Post-Varsity Sport Participation: The Case of Former Ontario University Athletic (OUA) volleyball players by Gregory Simone A thesis Presented to the University of Waterloo In fulfillment of the thesis proposal requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Recreation and Leisure Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 2018 © Greg Simone 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand my thesis may be made electronically available to the public ii Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore factors that predict post-varsity sport-participation among a sample of former OUA volleyball players. Specifically, this thesis explored relationships among the facets if enduring involvement (i.e., attraction, centrality, social bonding, identity affirmation, identity expression), quality of sport experience, amount of time since leaving the team, and post-varsity participatory behaviors. A total of 90 male and female former OUA volleyball players were asked about their current participatory behaviour, perceived quality of varsity experience, and enduring involvement. Results suggested that the more time that passed since participating in varsity volleyball, the less frequently former athletes reported participating in the sport. Moreover, the more former varsity athletes felt attached to the sport and felt their participation was central to their lifestyle, the more frequently they reported participating in the sport. Interestingly, however, the more former athletes perceived their current participation as on opportunity to reinforce their identity as a “volleyball player,” the less frequently they reported participating in the sport.

The pride of having one of our beach volleyball teams reach the pinnacle of success in 2019, locking up a spot in the Olympic Games, was historic. We all shared in the excitement of seeing Canadians on top of the World Championship podium and continuing their journey toward Tokyo in that magical moment. Our Indoor National Teams were equally impressive on the road to Tokyo. After falling short at the international qualifier, our men’s national team qualified for the Olympics early this year on home soil in Vancouver, keeping us all on the edge of our seats in a win for the ages over Cuba. In Nova Scotia in February, our women’s sitting volleyball team put on an impressive display winning their qualifier to secure their place in the Paralympic Games. Now that the Games will be held in 2021, we are looking forward to what next year will bring. This includes more beach teams looking for qualification, and next year’s Volleyball Nations League, which will see our women’s team compete for the first time having won their qualifier last year. There were so many other bright spots in the works domestically in Canada, with a full Nationals planned for Edmonton, and development programs advancing our sport across the country.
