​The Raincity Volleyball Club was established in 2010 and we are now in our 15th season of competition of play and development for our athletes.  The Fraser Valley club is a non-profit, volunteer run club that is providing an opportunity for young female athletes to participate in volleyball for both the love of the game and the pursuit of excellence in the sport.  The Raincity Volleyball Club provides an opportunity for the youth in the Cloverdale and surrounding Fraser Valley regions to pursue excellence in volleyball, through enjoyment and fun in the sport. The coaches believe that through the emphasis of both individual and team development we will provide for the young athletes a learning environment that will build not only a strong athlete and club team, but also contribute to the development of good citizens in our communities.  â€‹
