From Calgary's first university and school teams to a Vision pathway built since 1999.
Volleyball in Calgary grew from University of Calgary and high-school programs in the 1960s into one of Canada's strongest club markets, with the Volleydome opening in 2012 and Volleyball Canada Youth Nationals held at Stampede Park.
VISION Elite Academy began in Winnipeg in 1999, when founder Luc Tremblay launched his first developmental volleyball camps. Today the same pathway, coach training and teaching methods run in Calgary from our home gym, VISION Sport Centre.
Join the Calgary athletes who found their confidence, their friends and their sport with VISION.
