Athlete Spotlight

Last month, two Volleyball NB athletes, Carter Waugh and Jackson Gallagher, won the Sport NB Team of the Year Award. This duo made history in August by winning Volleyball New Brunswick’s first ever U14 Tier 1 National gold medal at Volleyball Canada Beach Nationals, going undefeated in 9 matches.

“I was honoured to be there with some really great athletes, olympians and paralympians, and also win an award with Jackson. It was a really great event.” – Carter Waugh

Capital Funding

We are part way into our first-ever Capital Funding Campaign! All funds raised will go towards new equipment used during our 3 major tournaments; Senior Open, Age Class Provincials, and Jack Lawson Middle School Cup, which offer over 3,460 youth and adult volleyball players the chance to experience one of the biggest sports tournaments in Atlantic Canada!

Why is new equipment needed?

The Sport Courts and Net Systems used at the Moncton Coliseum are over 20 years old. They were purchased in the early 2000’s and have seen A LOT of use over the past 20 years. Over 4,500 sets of volleyball have been played on each court, and they are starting to wear down. To keep all major VNB events under one roof, new equipment is needed in order to keep the facility safe for everyone.

Volleyball is growing across the country and our province is no different! In order to accommodate the size, we need to look at expanding the number of courts we have access to.
