OVERVIEW
July 2, 2024
Below are a few tidbits of information for you to consider as you weigh your options for the upcoming Rep volleyball season:
- Lakeside Volleyball Club (LVC) is one of three youth volleyball clubs in Oakville, ON. We have been an OVA member club since 2010 and have had more success in Division 1, Tier 1 OVA competition than our local competing clubs.
- LVC is led by Bear Davies, whom has played and coached volleyball at the highest levels for over four decades. Bear is FIVB Level II Certified, which is a globally recognized coaching certification. His attention to detail with regards to teaching core skills and fundamentals of the game is unmatched in our region.
- When considering annual fees for participating in rep volleyball, please keep in mind that not all programs are equal. Coaching and club philosophies vary greatly from club to club which presents a challenge for many to place a dollar value on. LVC annual fees are competitive with those of our neighbours however where we excel is in our instruction and training. All of our coaches follow LVC philosophies in their approach to teaching our players.
- Tournament Participation: All of our teams participate in all available OVA-sanctioned events throughout each season, including Ontario Championships. We are a member club of both the JVA and AAU in the US and try to attend at least 1-2 US tournaments each season when possible. We also encourage each of our coaches to take teams to local friendly tournaments when the schedule permits to get as much game time exposure as possible.
- VC Nationals: Please see our NATIONALS webpage for information relating to Lakeside’s Nationals participation. (COMING SOON).
