Fall Camps now available!

wmva — 9/7/2010 9:02:58 PM

The WMVA is pleased to announce that its Fall Camp series is back for another season.

This edition of the camp will be the seventh year fall camps have been offered to Winnipeg youth by experienced WMVA instructors.

Originally launched to offer athletes who failed to make their school teams an opportunity to catch up to their peers, the camps became an instant hit with club athletes who informed us they simply wanted to come out once a week and, "work on their fundamentals".

Simply put, the school season is so short coaches have no choice but to get right to team play. Therefore, more skilled players have appreciated the opportunity to come out and work on the basics.

This season the camps will only be available on Sunday afternoons and we do not anticipate expanding the camp so be sure to register early!

Fall Registration now on!

wmva — 8/5/2010 1:16:09 AM

The WMVA is pleased to expand its programs for the 2010-2011 season.

Early bird registration is now on for all fall programs and will continue throughout the month of August. Be sure to register early to enjoy our program discounts.

Early bird registration will start on August 2, 2010 and registration will continue until October 18, 2010.

We look forward to a bigger and better league. Anyone interested in discussing ways of improving our program, or our marketing to the community, is invited to contact us.

See you in the fall!

WMVA withdraws from Club Volleyball

WMVA — 6/3/2010 7:24:10 PM

The WMVA has been involved in club volleyball for the better part of the last decade. We have done so with the anticipation of forming a board of volunteers to oversee our programs and aid in their growth. Although we have enjoyed the support and encouragement of numerous parents over the years, we could never achieve our goal of establishing a volunteer board.

A second objective of ours was to establish a “Facilities Fund” like the one developed by Winnipeg Youth Soccer. That fund has allowed them to secure community and government support to build their own facility at the University of Manitoba. Our being involved in club volleyball has only served to divide the volleyball community and we wish to rectify that.

As of this moment we will no longer be involved in club volleyball in any way. We have begun removing all details of our River City Volleyball Club from our website and will list all Winnipeg-area clubs once that is complete. We will also be e-mailing all our coaches the contact information of every club in the city and ask them to contact those clubs they would most be interested in working with.

The WMVA will now focus on growing its mini-volleyball programs, recreational indoor leagues and camps (summer, fall, winter and seasonal).

The WMVA will continue to promote participation in club volleyball to all athletes that wish to pursue the sport at a more competitive level. That being said, this will be done without prejudice by referring all young athletes to the WMVA website for a list of all Winnipeg-area clubs.

We would like to thank our many parent volunteers and club coaches for their hard work and commitment over the years.

Volley 4s Spring League.

wmva — 3/3/2010 5:30:22 PM

The WMVA has changed the format to its spring volleyball league.

Rather than offering a 6-on-6 format with parent coaches the new format is a 4-on-4 volleyball league with no coaches. Teams will train with a head instructor for 30 minutes prior to the start of their scheduled league matches.

Teams will also be tiered to allow for better competition and fewer athletes per team allows for maximum playing time and on-court participation.

Visit our "Indoor Leagues" page for complete details.

Both teams played consistently strong volleyball throughout the 2 day, 17-team event defeating quality teams from clubs all over Saskatchewan. Both teams faced off in a thrilling 3 set Final.

It was a wonderful finish to February as both the U16 Selects (Coached by Luc Tremblay, Kevin Roorda, and Stephanie Dyck) and U15 Selects (Coached by Luc Tremblay and Andrei Halkewycz) showed continued improvement as they prepare for the start of the 2010 Club Volleyball Season.

ID Camps - no short listing.

wmva — 12/2/2009 10:42:34 PM

Due to the large number of participants, the WMVA will not be short listing athletes during this week's ID Camps.

The process of short listing athletes would require larger facilities or smaller numbers, otherwise the feeling of coaches is that it would be unfair to athletes to be prevented from returning at this time.

Therefore, we encourage all athletes to return to our ID camps as often as they wish to ensure they get on a team.

Best of luck to all athletes.

Indoor league coaches to receive honorarium.

JrB Volleyball — 4/7/2009 6:19:14 AM

Starting this coming 2009 fall season all Junior Bison Indoor League coaches will receive an honorarium equivalent to the cost of one registration.

In other words, should a parent coach a team their child will participate at no cost while a student coach will receive that amount at the end of the season.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our coaches for their hard work. Our program would not be possible without you.

Coaches benefits.

JrB Volleyball — 4/7/2009 3:55:17 PM

Furthermore, any indoor league coach that coached for both the past 2008 fall and 2009 winter sessions is being offered the opportunity to register their daughter for one of our summer camps at half price.

To register, simply e-mail us at info@jrbvolleyball.com.

Junior Bison teams dominate.

JrB Volleyball — 3/16/2009 2:58:06 PM

With the first U13 Tournament of the season being hosted by our very own Junior Bison 13 Black team the event was a success with very impressive quality of play.

All teams have clearly improved in their serving making passing more challenging for all these young athletes. This will be the test of most teams as they head into the later part of the season.

The gold medal was captured by the Junior Bison 13 Black team. They defeated the Junior Bison 13 White team in a tough final match. Well done ladies.

Tournament Season off and running

JrB Volleyball — 3/9/2009 1:13:17 AM

With the start of March comes the start of the Club Volleyball Tournament Season.

With the early season events behind us most teams can now find themselves in tournaments almost every week-end from here until nationals.

The Junior Bison 16 Open was an example of one of the many tournaments that were held this past week-end. And, if the early season events were any indications, the final four will be a battle between Selkirk Royals, Winman and Cobras, all of whom are chasing the early favourites, "Junior Bison 16 Black". The team has captured it's third straight gold medal.

Congratulations to the Junior Bisons and remember there is a lot of volleyball still to be played. If your team has yet to crack the top four don't count yourselves out. There's plenty of time to catch up.

Junior Bison 18 White back from Regina.

JrB Volleyball — 2/6/2009 10:38:09 PM

The girls played great this weekend - though we lost in the third set of the bronze final (tier one) against the Radz.

Our best game was against JCVC (semi-final). Scores were 23-25, 28-26, 9-15 but the JCVC team is loaded with girls (entire starting line) who are all signed with University and College teams and they have played together for a few years.

We had a lot to be proud of and our girls played their hearts out. The ref came up to us after and said that our game was a treat for him to ref and that it should have been the gold match.

We ended up playing the top Radz team in the bronze match - and we played well, but not as good as we did against the JCVC team. We went three sets against the Radz, but just couldn't pull off the win - mostly serving errors in the third set were the only reason we lost.

All in all the girls and Chelsea were happy with the weekend.

Kim Stefaniuk

JrB Volleyball — 2/6/2009 9:50:00 PM

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the athletes that took the time to come out and participate in our 2008 ID Camps.

The selection of athletes in all other age classes is still on-going.

Again, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated.

FREE Bison tickets.

JrB Volleyball — 11/27/2008 6:30:02 AM

If you are a JRB participant and would like to take advantage of our FREE TICKET PROMOTION, here is the process:

Please email our events coordinator, Jen Everard, at: everard@cc.umanitoba.ca the WEDNESDAY prior to the event with the amount of tickets you need for your team. The exception to this rule will be this week ends matches against Alberta. You can email her up until this Thursday afternoon (November 27th).

Booster Club for coaches.

JrB Volleyball — 11/27/2008 6:18:13 AM

In brief, The Booster Club involves us knowing how many coaches will be present so that we can order the appropriate amount of food and beverages.

Coaches have access to the VIP room and can watch part of the match from that area as well. This is where they would take advantage of their food and beverages.

The Booster Club will be available for the following two Saturday matches: Saturday, November 29 vs. Alberta (6:00pm start time); Saturday, January 17 vs. Simon Fraser (6:00pm start time).

Coaches interested in participating should e-mail us at: info@jrbvolleyball.com and let us know they are coming. A minimum of 5 coaches is required to order the food and beverages. Deadline to register is 3:00pm the THURSDAY prior to the match.

Junior Bison Club Teams

JrB Volleyball — 11/27/2008 6:13:11 AM

Athletes should note that no Junior Bison Volleyball team has been pre-selected. Some team coaches may have committed to a few athletes, but few teams have committed to more than 6 athletes.

Furthermore, this generally only applies to juvenile teams; That is athletes in the U17 and U18 age class. The vast majority of our coaches from U12-U16 have not committed to any athlete and are looking to form their teams at our ID Camps.

All this to say that there is no program with more opportunity to play. We will have the largest grisl volleyball program in the province and all teams will be tiered to ensure athletes play with those of their ability. Hope to see you at try outs!

Tax receipts out this week.

JrB Volleyball — 11/13/2008 5:29:45 PM

Parents that registered their children for one of our summer camps, fall camps, mini-volleyball or our indoor league should note that tax receipts are being e-mailed this week.

Parents should remember that only those that mailed in their payment and registration require a tax receipt.

Registration page not functioning.

JrB Volleyball — 11/13/2008 3:46:23 AM

Our web provider upgraded the servers on Monday and we have been having problems with the on-line registration page since then.

Please note that if you are attempting to register for one of our programs you may have to re-boot your computer before trying again. We have been re-setting the servers every morning so if you are attempting to register and cannot access the registration page we would appreciate being made aware of it.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Blogs now posted.

JrB Volleyball — 10/27/2008 5:07:34 PM

We are pleased to start offering links to volleyball blogs on our web site. These are posted under "Athlete Resources" and are intended to provide athletes with insight into the experiences of other volleyball athletes.

Athletes should note that we expect to have a Blog up for our University of Manitoba athletes as the season starts. This should be up by early to mid-November.

We also provide a link to Team Canada Blogs. These are updated when the teams train and compete. That occurs mostly in the summer months.

Coaching Volleyball Coaches.

JrB Volleyball — 10/23/2008 7:55:10 PM

Ken Bentley, the Head Coach of the University of Manitoba Women's Volleyball Program, is continuing his coaching camps. On November 02 from 8-10pm he will once again be at Montrose School where the theme will be "progressions to forearm passing".

For a complete list of camps please visit our "Coaching Clinics" page.

First day of ID Camp Registrations

JrB Volleyball — 10/22/2008 3:06:49 PM

If early registrations are any indication, JrB Volleyball selection camps will be a crowded affair. With twenty-one athletes registering for ID Camps on the very first day we are clearly on pace to surpass last year's overall number of close to 530 participants.

Please note that numbers will be controlled this year. We will no longer allow 100 or more athletes in a two court facility. In fact, most age classes will begin their try outs at the Investor's Group Athletic facility at the University of Manitoba. That is a five-court facility which will allow JrB Coaching staff to better manage the event and establish stations that will allow for physical testing. These will include reach and speed testing. Good luck to all of you!

Final week to register for a Fall Camp

JrB Volleyball — 10/21/2008 5:19:49 PM

Athletes should note that this is the final week to register for one of our Fall Skills Camps.

A few camps still have a couple of spots left and the cost of participating has been pro-rated so that you only pay for the camps that are remaining.

Boys should note that we will continue to accept participants for our Monday night boys camp as we strive to increase the number of boys' programs we provide.

League Standings

JrB Volleyball — 10/21/2008 5:25:10 PM

All athletes and coaches participating in our Sunday Indoor League should note that we update our standings every Monday morning.

Standings are posted on a PDF on our "League Schedules" page.

And be sure to let us know if there is an error. Your team's standing in the league will determine your ranking for the season ending tournament.
