Our beach season has officially come to an end. We would like to congratulate the athletes and coaches for all their hard work and dedication throughout the season! We had an amazing summer at the beach courts with all of you! 

We were so happy to see so many athletes representing Alberta on the beach at the Vancouver and Toronto Beach Nationals! We had the pleasure of following 17 Alberta teams at the Toronto Beach Nationals and 15 Alberta teams at the Vancouver Beach Nationals. GO, Alberta! We are proud of how the athletes represented Volleyball Alberta and our Team Alberta Beach program.
