Team Apparel

Player Warm-up Jerseys

Each player is provided with a Warm-Up that has the player’s last name on the shirt and is intended for the player to keep.

Player Team Jerseys

The Team Jerseys are provided to the players to use during the volleyball season to wear for tournament play. There is a jersey deposit that is collected at the beginning of the season that can be provided to the Club by way of a post-dated cheque of $100 made payable to: Parksville Volleyball Club. The deposit is only used when the Player Team Jersey is not returned to the Club at the end of the Club Volleyball season.

Each season, the Club will endeavour to provide Club apparel options to the teams. For instance, in season 2021/2022, there was an order gathered for Parksville Volleyball Club Hoodies and PVC Sport Bags. In addition, there were a limited number of hats created as well. These orders are contingent on pre-payments being received and having enough quantity to submit orders.

Testimonials

Torie Heese, Team Captain U17
I was feeling anxious going into my U17 season as it was my first year as a Parksville Volleyball Club player. It can be daunting being the new person, especially on a team of girls who all already know each other. However, the girls- and the club as a whole- made me feel so welcome and treated me like family. I felt a tremendous amount of support by everyone throughout the season, including coaches, teammates, and parents. This allowed me the opportunity to grow as a player and as a teammate. Making the decision to play PVC was really an amazing one and it is an experience I will never forget.

U18 Player

As a kid, I was always drawn to sports and team related activities, so I decided to join Parksville Volleyball Club in grade 9. Back then it was just about getting out and having fun with my friends, which to be fair never stopped. Although as I grew older I found that it was something that gave me confidence in my character, and through the ups and downs of my teenage years, it gave me the motivation to keep showing up not only for others, but for myself. PVC has made me able to push my limits physically and mentally through the encouragement of my coaches and teammates. And in the four years I’ve played for PVC I was also given the opportunity to be in a leadership position. This helped me gain focus on the bigger picture of not just winning but making sure everyone feels welcomed, comfortable and excited to connect with each other and play together.

Thank you so much!!

I started playing for PVC when I was in grade 9. Before the club season I had been a new student and spent a large amount of my school season riding the bench. I never complained about it and loved cheering my team on, however I felt very discouraged and wanted to quit. My friends were trying out for the team and I reluctantly tagged along. The decision to try out for Parksville Volleyball Club was one of the best choices I have made. The amazing coaches, players, and club organizers provided me with a safe space to learn to love the sport and learn to love myself.

During my grade 6-7 year, I played on the school team but I always felt like something was missing and I was thinking about quitting. During my grade 7 year I heard about PVC and decided to try out for U14, I didn’t have much hope as I was younger than everyone else but the coaches took a chance on me and for that I’m forever grateful, I finally realized what was missing…it was the competition and the fire that PVC provided for me along with new skills and support from the coaches. Being on that court with my team brings so much joy into my life and I wouldn’t wanna be playing anywhere else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Parksville Volleyball Club aligns with the policies and procedures outlined by Volleyball BC. Parents and players are encouraged to access resources on the Volleyball BC website for more information. A key document to have handy throughout the season is the Indoor Club Handbook as there is pertinent information such as offer letter processes and key timeframes for accepting offers to competitive teams. In addition, the age categories and levels of play are outlined on the Volleyball BC website as well that may be of interest. If you have reviewed this information and still have questions, please feel free to email the Club with any questions.
Can players from other communities outside of Parksville Try Out for the Competitive Volleyball Teams?
Yes, players from other communities can Try Out. The coaches are the ones who determine which players are offered positions to the teams.
Once Club Fees are paid, can these be refunded if the player or family rescind their position on the team?
No, because the Club Fees are used to purchase equipment required for the season. Families and Players are encouraged to take this into consideration when they make the decision to commit the player for the season prior to accepting the offer.
Parent volunteerism is strongly encouraged by Parskville Volleyball Club, but what if I only have time to complete a specific function?
There are formal leadership, coaching roles and team parent roles that are required to keep the Club operational. However, it has been great to have parents offer help in specific areas, such as grant writing, fundraising, team activity organization, club activity organization, etc. We encourage parents to reach out to the Club and offer assistance in any capacity.
