2021 VOLLEYBALL ALBERTA PREMIERS
Planning for 2021?

Please note that the 2021 Indoor Tournament  Schedule is subject to change in accordance with government health and safety regulations.

With the cancellation of a significant part of the 2020 season due to the pandemic, it will be especially important to return to competition safely.

We will closely follow the advice from Alberta Public Health and adapt our competition policies and schedule accordingly.

With the help of our supportive clubs and partners across the province, we will bounce back with the health, safety and well-being of our members being our top priorities. 
 
Volleyball Alberta hopes to run 12 Tournament weekends for our Premier & Provincial Championship series. At this time, we are not able to release a specific age-class schedule.

However, we do want to share the following dates blocked off for the 2021 Indoor Tournament Schedule (subject to change).

"We encourage everyone involved with volleyball in Canada to take advantage of this time while facilities are closed to complete this important training, and help our sport be safer and stronger when we are able to return to play," said Volleyball Canada CEO and President Mark Eckert.
The Safe Sport Training is available online through the  Locker  at no cost.

The safe sport module is a free, 90-minute eLearning module that gives all participants the tools to recognize, address, and prevent maltreatment in sport. The module aligns with the principles of the Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport and meets Sport Canada requirements for Safe Sport education.
