Updates for Dome Club as of March 2, 2021:

New start dates for Winter have been confirmed for March 14. More information is being sent to participants and those on the waitlists this week (March 1-7).

The latest update for Winter has been sent to participants via email (copy below). As the Winter groups will essentially become the Spring, we will most likely NOT be able to run an additional Spring session but may be able to add to the existing Winter groups once things get started. Please contact to be added to waiting lists for Winter/Spring.

The following update was sent to Winter Groups on February 12:

Hi Everyone,

As many of you heard this past weekend, there have been some changes to the restrictions on youth sports in the province, yay!

That being said, Step 1 allowances still come with a lot of rules that prohibit programs like Dome Club from getting started right away. The most relevant to us is that kids are required to maintain at least 3m distance even while on court and in drills allowing for very little interaction and limited drill options, especially for young players who are still learning ball control. As these programs are based on being able to practice with 10 kids per group, and being able to work in game-like drills at least some of the time, it looks like we will still have to wait for Step 2 before we can resume. 

The good news is that Step 2 might only be 3 weeks away, so we can potentially get started March 13/14. This is of course reliant on cases and hospitalizations continuing to drop province-wide and a formal AHS announcement that Step 2 is a go. Currently, this is supposed to be announced on February 28th. Assuming everything progresses accordingly, new program details will be sent out the first week of March. Any additional Covid guidelines and safety protocols will be included once we know if and how groups need to be adapted in order to safely begin.

Practice times for the beach groups will still be Fridays and Sundays once we get going.

Based on a March start date groups will then go through to at least the end of May, and extend into June if needed for any make-up days as necessary. We anticipate having to start with limitations on gameplay, but will hopefully be able to end with more tournament like Play Days as we move through the session.

Again, for anyone who wishes to withdraw based on changes, we can still provide refunds of $319 anytime before practices get started.

Please contact info@volleydome.net for questions about any of the above.

 

With the news of the indoor and outdoor beach courts returning at the Dome location (2825 24th ave), we can continue to offer Dome Club Beach and Mini Dome Club Beach programs for the Winter/Spring whenever restrictions allow for group classes.

Our Capacity is currently limited, so there will only be a few spots available for each group. We will expand age groups as we are able if it is deemed safe to do so next year.

Up to date COVID-19 protocols for the Dome Club programs will be sent out with program reminders about a week before the programs begin.

Dome Club Beach Age Range: 11 to 14
 

Dome Club Beach is a new program offered at the Dome location for graduates of Mini Dome Club to continue to play and improve. Recommended for any and all athletes who have basic volleyball skills and a love of the game, and want to try out the beach game, but aren't necessarily looking to commit to the time and cost of an "elite" club team. With Dome Club Beach, there are no special invitations or tryouts, and costs are kept to a minimum by playing in informal in-house tournaments (mostly here at the Dome). Please note that Dome Club Beach is a recreational program with an emphasis on learning, fun, and development as part of a team - winning will not be a priority.
 

Registrants will be assigned to practice groups of about 11 to 13 with players of a similar age, and split into teams of 4 to 6 for tournament and scrimmage days. Dome tournaments will be included in the price of the registration.
 

If you have any other questions, please call (587) 619-0590 or email info@volleydome.net.

Mini Dome Club Beach Range: Grades 4-7

​

Mini Dome Club was introduced by the Volleydome in 2004 and it became an overnight success with its purpose of teaching kids the skills of the game in a less competitive environment. We are now also bringing Mini Dome Club to the Beach courts at the Dome location. Each session includes PlayDays with modified games, working towards full game play by the end of the session. Our motto from the beginning has been:
Have Fun, Learn the Skills, Love the Game.

​

Mini DC is run in the Fall, Winter and Spring. It is an excellent introductory program for young beach volleyball athletes to learn the beach game, and will also help those aspiring to enter junior high school teams or eventually join team programs like Dome Club (Recreational)or Canuck Stuff Club (Competitive). 
 

Players that have already gone through Mini Dome Club (or played the sport in school)and still want toplay on the sand should probably opt to play in our Dome Club Beach program (above) which has continuous start dates throughout the year.
