VNB Spotlight

Volleyball Quebec Men’s Excellence Beach Volleyball Team of the Year Liam et Miro Pelletier

Liam and Miro Pelletier, New Brunswick natives, have proven themselves as forces to be reckoned with on the beach. Playing their way through the QC Beach Circuit, the brothers showed up on the Senior Men’s National Level and made NB proud!

Miro Pelletier shared “Playing the Quebec circuit has been an awesome experience for Liam and me. We’ve had the opportunity to compete against some great teams, push ourselves, and continue growing as players. Getting to do it alongside my brother makes it even more special.

We’re both proud of the work we’ve put in over the years, so being recognized like this means a lot. It’s a nice reminder that all the time, effort, and sacrifices are worth it.

We’re especially grateful for all the support we’ve had along the way, particularly from our parents, and we’re excited to keep representing NB on the Quebec circuit!”

Safe Sport for Youth Program

We’re pleased to share an exciting new initiative, the Safe Sport for Youth training e-module, created specifically for athletes aged 13–19. This engaging, age-appropriate program helps young athletes understand the importance of safe, respectful, and inclusive sport environments. The module takes less than one hour to complete and can be delivered in two flexible ways:

1. Individual Completion
Share the attached promotional PDF with your athletes and encourage them to complete the module independently at their own pace.

2. Team-Based Delivery
Facilitate the training as a group using the attached facilitator guide, which supports shared learning and discussion. Athletes will watch the videos and the guide includes key questions for the facilitator to ask after each video to encourage reflection and conversation.

You can track compliance and confirm completion by contacting the Safe Sport for Youth team at hello@safesportforyouth.org.

We appreciate your commitment to creating a safer sport environment for all youth athletes.
