Regina Volleyball Club

If you love the game of Volleyball and are passionate about being involved in the development of great young people, we would love to hear from you! RVC is looking for a few good people to join our club to help with our developmental and recreational programs - and with our age-class competitive program.  If you - or someone you know - may be interested, please contact our Coach Liaison Jakaeden Frizzell for more information. All training is provided...and there are a number of commitment levels to fit your schedule.

  A huge honour for former RVC player Andrew Nelson. The University of Regina Cougar was one of  14 players named to the national junior men's volleyball team. Nelson, a 6-foot-6 rightside hitter, was the CIS men's volleyball rookie of the year last season.

  Nelson and the jr. national team will compete at the NORCECA Men's Under 21 Continental Championship being held in Colorado Springs, Colorado from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1. The top two finishers at that event will qualify for the 2013 World junior men's championships.

Volleyball Canada and Sask Volleyball announced that Regina was selected as the location of the 15U Canadian West open national championships to be held in May at the The Co-operator's Centre and the Credit Union Eventplex. (May 18-20, 2013; May 17-19, 2014).  RVC was a strong supporter of the Sask Volleyball bid and many RVC people will be volunteering their time to help the SVA host this landmark event in our city. Mark your calendars now.

The other sites selected are: 14U - Abbottsford; 16U - Calgary; 17/18U - Edmonton. Check the Volleyball Canada website for more info and dates for these.

RVC held its annual Awards Night and Annual General Meeting on May 24th at the Glen Cairn Rec Centre. Congratulations to all our age-class team all-stars and to Coach of the Year recipient Patrick Lys, and Coaching Excellence Award winner Mike Boyd. Unlike some other clubs, RVC is member-driven and our membership takes this opportunity to approve audited financial statements, elect our board of directors and have the open forum to ask questions and provide comments. Special thanks go to retiring board directors: Maureen Sebastian, Betty Rader, Dennis Ruthven and Mike Boyd. Your years of service are appreciated.

U18 RVC stand out Evan Mah was featured in a Leader Post article May 9, 2012. Evan has been playing with RVC since he was a 14U player. Evan has since demonstrated not only his abilities on the court but his leadership skills and his commitment to excellence and to our community. Our 18U Cougar team is off to Toronto for nationals and we wish Evan and his team well there. You can go to the Leader Post for the full article and to see the full photo by Michael Bell.

RVC Impact player Katie Nelson was featured in the Regina Leader Post on May 1, 2012. Katie started with RVC a few years ago as a 14U player, starting competing with her high school team - and was the starting middle blocker with the 16U Sask Volleyball provincial team in 2011. Katie, along with many RVC players, juggle their love for more sports than just volleyball. Impact will be off to Toronto later this month along with a couple other RVC teams to compete at the Volleyball Canada national championships. Check out the LP article and a great picture of Katie by Don Healy.

RVC could not serve our players and their families like we do without the contribution of volunteer coaches, team managers and our program coordinators and board directors. We are currently looking for people who can give even a little time to help our club do what it does. Many hands make light work - so the more the merrier. RVC is not run by just one or two people - our members elect our board and in this way RVC remains responsive to the needs of our families and continues to thrive as the longest running volleyball club in the Regina district. Please contact RVC President Maureen Sebastian for more information.
