Costs & Fees
Please read the following carefully to ensure you are fully informed before joining a team.
Volleyball is an expensive sport to play and we strive to keep costs down through fundraising efforts, sponsorship and effective use of our resources and assets. Expect to invest anywhere from $1,00 to $3,500 in a season depending on age group and amount of travel.
If you secure a spot on a team, the club fees are due before the season begins. Players cannot play or practice if fees are not paid. Club fees cover some of our costs, including tournament entry fees, gym rentals, equipment costs, coach expenses, administrative supplies, uniform use and team gear. The Volleyball BC membership fee (insurance) will need to be paid separately in addition to our fees and we have accounted for this (approximately an extra $85).
2025 Club Fees:
U14: $1,150
U15: $1,400
U16: $1,725
U17: $1,775
**2025 final fees are still being budgeted/calculated but are expected to rise due to the rising costs of gym rentals, tournaments, equipment, gear, etc. We will announce the final amount ASAP.
If you are selected to be a part of one of our teams, a deposit of $300 will be due within 2 weeks of the last tryout date.
We strive to ensure every child has a chance to play. If you are chosen for a team and are unable to afford the club fees or need a payment schedule, please send us an email with an explanation and we can come up with a plan of how we can help you.
Travel Expenses
The fees DO NOT include travel expenses above and beyond our fundraising efforts. Travel expenses vary depending on type of tournament, age group, and place of travel. In general, each team travels minimum once per season. U15, U16 and U17/18 travel two to three times per season including one out of Province trip. Generally we aim to have one out-of-town experience early in the season to promote team bonding, generate more excitement and be exposed to different competition.
Teams that travel out of province to Nationals or the US require air travel and accommodation. These costs can range from about $600 to $2,000 for the season, depending on the player age and location of tournaments WITH fundraising. Without fundraising, the costs per player can well exceed $2,000. We rely on participation from parents to help with fundraising efforts.
