Volleyball Canada announces 2025 Youth National Championship dates

July 11, 2024: After a record-breaking 2024 Youth National Championships, Volleyball Canada is excited to announce the dates and locations for the 2025 events. Welcoming age groups 14U to 18U with an estimated over 1500 teams, the 2025 Youth National Championships is gearing up to be the largest event of its kind to date.

The 2025 14U Nationals will, once again, open the National Championships, starting in Ottawa, Ontario, and Fredericton, New Brunswick from May 1 to 4. This will be followed by an action-packed weekend from May 8 to 11 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Nationals will continue in Edmonton at the state-of-the-art Edmonton EXPO Centre, hosting ages 15U to 18U over the span of four separate three-day tournaments.

“After the great success Volleyball Canada experienced in 2024, we are eager to return to Edmonton for another National Championship,” said Sandra de Graaff, Director of Domestic Competitions for Volleyball Canada. "Volleyball Canada will be working hard to create another memorable experience for all teams involved."

Volleyball Canada would like to thank its many local partners, without whom this event is not possible, including Explore Edmonton.

“We’re thrilled to welcome back the Volleyball Canada National Championships to the Edmonton EXPO Centre. This event is significant to the Edmonton community as it will inject upwards of $50 million in total economic impact. We can’t wait to see all participants return next year and create a great buzz throughout the city. Explore Edmonton is dedicated to supporting the expected growth of this event and is proud to have the venue to facilitate that growth,” said Traci Bednard, CEO of Explore Edmonton.

Volleyball Canada recently wrapped up the 2024 Nationals, recording the largest turnout in Nationals history with 1,536 teams competing and over 15,000 players in attendance across the four locations of Ottawa, Edmonton, Fredericton and Richmond.

Details on Nationals registration will be released in the coming months.
