How to Start a Club
Volleyball Programs for Ages 12-21
The Saskatchewan Volleyball Association provides two indoor programs for athletes ages 12-21.
The Arima program is our introductory club program for athletes ages 12-17. The program consists of one tournament prior to Christmas for each of our three age categories for men and women.
The Age Class program is a more comprehensive program for both the more recreational athlete as well as the competitive or elite athletes of Saskatchewan. This program runs from January to May and is offered to athletes 14 years old (or younger) to 21 years old.
Keep reading for more detailed information on both programs.

Advantages of a Multi-Team Club
A club that contains 2 or more teams enjoys more privileges than of a club with only one team, which include:
1. Younger players may “play up” with an older team within the club.
2. Players may play on any of the teams of the same age category within the club, but will be restricted to a “frozen roster” at registration deadlines for provincial and national championships.
