VVL is a club designed for kids to learn volleyball through a fun and educational experience. We believe that in order to excel in any sport the first thing an athlete must do is fall in love with it. At VVL we balance the importance of skill development with the importance and fun and the opportunity to play games. The house league concept that VVL uses was developed by John Child (3 time Olympian and Olympic Bronze Medallist) and Christian Redmann (2 time National Champion and 15 year FIVB World Tour Beach Volleyball player)  10 years ago as the Leaside Volleyball League. Christian brought the concept to Vancouver when he made the moved to the west coast! It is important to not only play modified games, but real 6 on 6 volleyball. Learning how to play real volleyball will give the kids the best chance to make their school and club teams since 6 on 6 is what they play at school and at club.  We believe in the importance of learning skills and getting the chance to put them into real game play situations, this is why we have adopted a part skill work and part game play structure. After meeting his wife, Dominique Vallee, who is a snowboard Olympian and a current Dr. of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Christian is now based in Vancouver.
