Getting to Know Our Local Sport Organizations
KAMLOOPS VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION

About KVA and what they do?

The Kamloops Volleyball Association (KVA) is comprised of a youth program (KVA PACK) and Adult program. KVA PACK is committed to providing a sports environment that is athlete-centered and which is characterized by open, clear communication and honesty, fairness, and mutual respect.
On the youth side, we offer indoor and beach programs for ages 12-17. Adult offers recreational and competitive co-ed and ladies-only indoor and beach programs.

 How long has the organization been operating?

Incorporated in the late ’90s and started with 6-8 girls teams. Our biggest year was 2019 where we had 3 boys and 12 girls plus a Train ‘n’ Play program and a House League with 5 teams.

What are some of your proudest league successes or accomplishments?

  • Current athletes that are selected to TeamBC Regional and Provincial Teams.
  • Alumni that are recruited by post-secondary institutions.

What has KVA been working on lately?

We just completed our AGM and added have some new faces. We are currently working on plans for our upcoming 2022 season. Tryouts are scheduled for December 2021 with the season starting January 2022.  More information on our website as it becomes available.

What are some of KVA's future goals?

  • Attract indoor regional competitions to Kamloops with the support of VolleyballBC, COK, and Kamloops Sports Council.
  • Ongoing discussions with CoK and Kamloops Sports Council for building additional facilities/space as we and other organizations are always competing for the same space.
  • Build our own/shared facility, as we are 100% reliant on CoK, SD73, and Independent Schools to allow us to use their facilities.


How can people learn more about the league and become involved?
We have sent many teams to provincial and national championships with a lot of success.  

 How do people connect with KVA to learn more and get involved? 
Sincerely,


The Kamloops Sports Council Team
