Volleyfest General Information

The 17th Annual Volleyfest Tournament occurs this year - 2009.

In the past, we have seen teams from all over BC and as far away as Alberta come to play in the tournaments.

The proceeds from the tournaments have amounted to more than $60,000 which has been directed back into our community in a number of different activities, including:

  • Construction of Beach Volleyball Courts
  • Sponsorship of School Volleyball Programs
  • Establishment of a yearly Scholarship Program

Our Volleyfest 2008 theme was "So you think you can hit? spike? drink? party?" loosely based on the reality show, "So you think you can dance?" We had 31 teams in both the Mixed and the Ladies Tournament.

Our Volleyfest 2007 theme was a James Bond "007" theme to tie in with the year 2007.   We had 26 teams play in the Mixed Tournament and 30 Teams in the Ladies Tournament.

Our Volleyfest 2006 theme was "The Amazing Race to Volleyfest 2006".   We had 22 Teams play in the Mixed Tournament and 30 Teams play in the Ladies Tournament.

Our Volleyfest 2005 theme was "I MADE THE CUT" and we had 23 teams participate in the Mixed Tournament and 26 teams participate in the Ladies Tournament.
