Peterborough Thunder Volleyball Club offers a house league program each year. Please check our website and Facebook Page this summer for key dates and house league season updates.
We are looking for volunteer coaches for our fall house league season- please be sure to identify your interest on the registration form if you are willing to volunteer!
While most clubs focus only on competitive volleyball, the ultimate goal of the Peterborough Thunder Volleyball Club is to instill a love of the sport in as many of our youth as possible, and through that, build and maintain a competitive and successful club.
To this end, a Thunder League program was started in 2006 and is a key component of our ‘grass roots’ program. Girls and Boys between the ages of 11-15 are taught the skills of volleyball and exposed to game situations.
September 23 Update:
Our Volleyball Season begins this week for all U12 to U15 athletes (house league, wait-list, or rep).
Please Note: Per TeamLinkt update, practices scheduled on Wednesday Sept 25 will proceed as scheduled, however Thursday Sept 26 and Friday Sept 26 practices are cancelled this week due to school conflict/ gym cancellations.
Games: House League Games will be held on Saturdays (beginning September 28) between 8am-1pm, at St Peter's High School.
For teams that dont get to practice this week, the convenors will help you get orgainzed with your team and get a warm up in before your games.
See you on Saturday!
Note: Additonal spaces may open in house league after rep teams are made (end of this week). Please check here for updates.
We are receiveing a large volume of requests- unfortunaltey with tryouts and house league all starting up, we may not be able to respond to email questions/messages at this time. Please check our website and social media for updates - and House League team communication via the TeamLinkt app.

House League practice sessions will take place at a local high school on Wednesday or Thursday evenings (1x/week), specific location and times TBC) with games on Saturday Mornings at St Peter's High School (from September to December 14).
Co-ed teams will be balanced based on a variety of skill levels and assembled for House League practice and game play. Players learn individual skills and the importance of playing as a team and enjoying the sport for its own value.
