2021-2024 Strategic Plan

With more than 50 years of history in the books, Volleyball BC now embarks on the next 50+ years. Volleyball BC has launched its new strategic plan which will be focusing on inclusion and diversity, welcoming everyone, keeping our participants safe, and engaging our community. After completion of the previous “Growing the Game” strategic plan in 2019, we now look to focus on our latest plan for the next four years. This strategic plan is the result of many hours of analyzing the current state of the sport in BC, researching, surveying and talking with many of our stakeholders and members and determining what areas and steps are necessary to continue the growth and success of the sport.

We invite the volleyball community to review the 2021-2024 Strategic Plan and we look forward to working with you to make the next four years as successful as the last 50!
