Volleyball Canada is proud to have hosted successful National Championships since 1953. Since the Open
format was introduced nearly 20 years ago, teams from all over the country have been competing for the
national title in a variety of age categories, from 14U to 35+. There are now over 1,00 teams that participate in the National Championship events annually.
Volleyball Canada National Championships operate with an open format meaning that any team from
across the country has the opportunity to participate. The open format has made these true national events with participation from nearly every province and territory. The current format welcomes club teams competing in the 14U to 18U age category across the country. These championships are held on an annual basis offering the opportunity for Canadian teams to compete for the title of National Champions.
In 2019, Volleyball Canada offered a new format to participating teams by combining a true national
championship experience along with the opportunity for regional access to competition. Age categories 15U– 18U were held as a true national championship without a regional split. 14U National Championships are held regionally to maintain regional access across the country. The goal is to host one event in the Atlantic, Eastern and Western provinces. The regional events provide local access to younger teams however they do permit travelling teams to attend. while the 14U events maintained the regional access across the country. This new format proved successful in that Volleyball Canada saw a significant growth at the 14U level.
