What does it cost to play on a Seaside Club Team?
Our club fees vary by age group. For the 2024-25 season, our club fee cost ranged from $1250 to $1900, mostly due to the number of tournaments attended and the number of athletes per team. These costs include uniforms, warm-ups, gym rental, tournament fees, and equipment; coaching education, per diems and honorariums; annual banquet, club management and administration fees. Volleyball BC membership is paid separately through the association website. Costs for road trips and national championships (as many of our teams attend nationals) are above and beyond. These costs also include expenses for coach’s travel at the team’s expense.
PLAYER CODE OF CONDUCT
At Seaside, when an athlete decides to participate in the activity of club volleyball, the player must agree to meet the club standards as representatives of our organization.
When Seaside teams travel for tournaments, they are representing the club and are expected to carry themselves in a respectful way. See our roadtrip travel guidelines.
PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT
The success of each team depends upon the commitment of the players, coaches AND parents. Please review our parent code of conduct to help with your child’s successes in club volleyball.
COACH CODE OF CONDUCT
Coaches play a critical role in the personal as well as athletic development of their athletes. As such, their conduct is paramount. The Coach Code of Conduct guides them.
In the rare instance an athlete needs to withdraw from one of our programs or a club team, please find our refund policy.
Seaside employs an assigned liaison to teams to minimize any issues that are not resolved between coaches, players and parents. If it needs to go beyond, see the applicable policies.
FAQS
everything you ever needed to know about playing club volleyball
Once a player has committed to participate with Seaside and has paid club fees, it is assumed by the club that the player will continue playing throughout the season. The club has committed registration fees, equipment, uniforms, warm-ups and travel arrangements that are not recoverable in the event the athlete quits the club and will be a financial burden to the remaining members of the team. It is our policy that if a player withdraws from the team after commencement of the season, the player will not receive a refund.
Yes. All of our teams that compete in the Volleyball BC tournaments must be selected in a tryout format. We do not run a house league at this time.

We highly recommend purchasing a quality pair of volleyball shoes. Brands to consider are Asics, Mizuno, Nike and Adidas. Make sure they are designed for indoor court use and/or “volleyball” shoes. Knee pads are also highly recommended. There are numerous brands and types. Stick to the mainstream sports manufacturers.
Yes. Anyone who wishes to try out for an age group higher is welcome to do so. However, we strongly recommend that you try out for your current age group first and let the evaluators determine if it makes sense for you to play up an age group.
At Seaside we will consider moving an athlete up under one or more of the following circumstances;
- The athlete demonstrates superior volleyball skills at their current age level
- The athlete demonstrates the ability to fit in with older athletes at a social level
- The athlete demonstrates the athletic ability to play with older athletes
- The athlete is in the same grade and age level as the older athlete at school
- The athlete has participated in other sports with older athletes
- The club has a specific position to fill at the older age group and is unable to find a qualified player
If a player feels they fit into one or more of these categories, they MUST contact a Seaside coach or official a minimum of one week prior to tryouts. The coach and executive committee will discuss the request and advise the player prior to tryouts whether their request has been approved.
If the athlete is not selected after the first day for the age group up he/she is trying out for, the athlete will be asked to move back to their current age group tryout session the following day.
Typically athletes play within their own age group. For example, if a boy or girl is born in 2012, they would play in the 15U age group in the 2027 season. This ensures that the athletes play with kids in their own age and school grade. However, (with the exception of 12U and 13U athletes who must play in their age group year) 15U and up athletes born after September 1, 2012 can play down an age group. For example, a boy or girl born in 2012, September 1st to December 31st has the option to play in the 14U age group. While this option is available, most play within their own age group.
Volleyball is no different than other community team sports. Players are expected to attend practices and tournaments throughout the season. If you play on a 12-14U team (fair play rules) and miss too many practices or tournaments you are being unfair to your teammates who regularly show up. If you are playing on an older age group team and you miss practices, the harder it will be for coaches to give you court time. While we do work with other sports schedules, make sure you don’t have any conflicts.
The club fees vary by age group. Costs range from $1250 to $2000, mostly due to the amount of tournaments attended and the number of athletes per team. These costs include uniforms, warm-ups, gym rental, tournament fees, and equipment; coaching education, per diems and honorariums; annual banquet, club management and administration fees. Volleyball BC membership is paid separately through the association website. Costs for road trips and national championships are above and beyond. Many of our teams attend the national championships, also at an additional cost.
See the fee schedule for the previous 2025 season below:
12U – $1250
13U – $1450
14U – $1550
15U – $1900
16U – $2000
17&18U – $2000
NOTE: Fees do NOT include cost for road trips or national championships. Nationals road trip (if applicable) costs around $1200/athlete. Additional road trips for 14U-18U can range from $200 to $1000.
There are no youth volleyball club leagues in BC. In contrast, a typical club volleyball season includes teams participating in 4 to 7 sanctioned and non-sanctioned tournaments on weekends plus a regional and provincial championship tournaments (2-day weekend events). In addition, depending on team age category and event location, many of our teams participate in a national championship tournament in a major city in Canada.
Seaside teams practice two to three times a week, usually weekday evenings and in many cases weekends. There are multiple locations our teams practice at including South Surrey elementary and high school locations.
Club volleyball has a range of start and end dates. Generally, most clubs start in early/mid November, commencing with try-outs. The season can end as late as the end of May, for those teams wishing to partake in national championships. Practices start in December, ramping up in January with tournament play, regional, provincial and national championships scheduled in April and May.
The answer is yes! Parents, don’t be deceived by memories of elementary school volleyball, six players on a side, standing motionless like scarecrows waiting for the ball to come to you. Volleyball is a multi-faceted, athletically demanding sport. Practices are often fast paced, with plenty of cardiovascular exercises and movements. Running, jumping and “hitting the floor” are all part of the sport. To perform at your best during a game, you must be ready physically and mentally.
In volleyball, you go to the ball, you don’t wait for the ball to come to you. Watch a college, university or our national teams play. You may be surprised to see some of the best conditioned athletes of any sport playing volleyball.
Yes we are. Volleyball BC is the official Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) for British Columbia. Volleyball BC is recognized by Volleyball Canada (the National Sport Organization for volleyball) as the official PSO. Seaside’s affiliation with Volleyball BC and Volleyball Canada affords numerous advantages for our membership including provincial and national championships for indoor and beach volleyball, coaching certification and education, member insurance and many other benefits.
