FVVC Mission and Vision

FVVC operates to accomplish three primary goals:

  1. Build Leaders

    • We believe our coaches are uniquely positioned to be role models to our athletes. We work hard to select the right coaches and equip them appropriately to influence our athletes positively.

    • Our coaches work hard to create an environment that allows kids to learn and grow together.

    • We want to equip our athletes to be leaders in the community during, and at the completion of, their time with FVVC.

  2. Develop Athletes

    • FVVC's coaches are a strong mixture of former U Sports/CCAA athletes, U SPORTS/CCAA coaches and local community coaches. Each coach combines their expertise with FVVC's development plan to develop athletes for the next level.

    • We invest heavily in coach development including covering the cost of coaching certification and providing coaches feedback in a variety of channels over the course of the year.

    • Every year we see over half of our graduating class head off to CCAA/U SPORTS schools to play at the next level, with offers typically made available to all of our athletes.

  3. Chase Championships

    • Every FVVC team works all year to prepare for the Provincial and National Championships.

    • With 8 National Championships and 35 Provincial Championships, plus many more medals at each event, our club has been successful in the biggest events in the yearly club calendar.

Safe Sport

FVVC believes that everyone has the right to enjoy the sport at whatever level or position they participate. Athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers have the right to participate in a safe and inclusive training and competitive environment that is free of abuse, harassment or discrimination.

FVVC believes the welfare of everyone involved in the sport is a foremost consideration and in particular the protection of children/athletes in the sport is the responsibility of each individual, member and special interest group in the athletic community.

Concussion Policy and Protocol

FVVC understands that concussions are a serious injury, and are increasingly common in volleyball. Our coaches are required to take the “Making Headway” online training through the Coaches Association of Canada, and are trained to identify risk factors and signs of concussion. Our policy is “when in doubt, sit them out”. If an athlete is removed from training or competition, coaches will communicate with a parent/guardian and encourage the athlete to be seen by a physician. Athletes with diagnosed concussions must be cleared by a physician, prior to returning to play.
