West Coast Beach Volleyball Society (WeCoBeVo) was born from a shared desire across the beach volleyball community to create a new path for youth in Western Canada to play and train, and have an equal chance to dream about representing Canada on the international stage. At present, the only option is for athletes (of all ages) to move to Toronto to do so. The roots of our goals has led WeCoBeVo to becoming a community connector, a change instigator, and a fundraising entity that provides unique events that bring together all facets of the volleyball community. Funds raised are currently going towards: (1) helping support developing athletes in Western Canada to compete nationally and internationally; (2) enhancing Western Canada’s reputation as a competitive volleyball market that is developing future leaders in the sport; (3) developing a community spirit such that young athletes know they are supported through encouragement, development and financial opportunities as possible; (4) donations to Jumpstart Charities, whose sole focus is to remove financial barriers for kids to participate in and learn from sport.
