After the age of 19 participation, there is a drop-off in participation in volleyball events by players mainly due to education, work or time commitment to training.
The V4L Masters are for club alumni, OVA alumni and recreational players to stay active for life through the sport of volleyball and engage with the volleyball community across the province.
In the first year, we are targeting participation and awareness that the OVA supports adult indoor volleyball and has created coed events for participation. By the 2nd year, we aim to include more opportunities of play that are coed, single-gendered and open entry at the regional and provincial levels.
A series of Coed Tournaments with the requirement to play in at least 1 for entry into OC’s. Teams may travel and play in more than 1 tournament if they choose.
