TriCity Volleyball Club started with a simple belief: more athletes deserve a place to play.
Limited roster spots, growing demand and too few development pathways were leaving athletes on the sidelines across Waterloo Region. TriCity was created to help change that — opening more doors, expanding access to quality coaching and creating meaningful pathways for athletes to stay in the game.
And in our first OVA tryout season, our community showed us just how much that opportunity was needed.
From athletes beginning their competitive journey to players pursuing increasingly challenging levels of competition, we're building a club where development doesn't follow just one path.
Because every athlete develops differently.
Every athlete's goals are different.
And every athlete deserves the opportunity to see where this game can take them.
This is our first OVA season. And this is only the beginning.
Across our inaugural September tryouts, 203 individual athletes walked through our gym doors, collectively booking 389 tryout opportunities to compete, learn, be evaluated and find their place on a team.
Some came once. Others came back again and again.
And every athlete who stepped onto our courts helped shape what TriCity is becoming.
What began with three competitive teams has grown into a vibrant volleyball community that brings together athletes and families from across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and surrounding communities.
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.

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!

Growing the game in Waterloo Region.
TriCity Volleyball Club is a not-for-profit organization run by a 13-member volunteer Board of Directors composed of local business leaders and community sports 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.
