Players will have the opportunity to play in the Volleyball Yukon Beach Championships and to compete at Volleyball Canada Beach Nationals or VA or VBC Provincials if they are interested. We understand that many players have busy schedules over the summer but we ask that players only register if they can commit to attending the majority of sessions throughout the summer.
