Since 2011, the city of St. Thomas and Elgin County has offered volleyball at the Grassroots and House League levels with SPIKES St. Thomas. More than 400 little ‘SPIKERS’ have learned not only the beautiful game of volleyball, but important life skills as well. In 2016, SPIKES St. Thomas partnered with the Forest City Volleyball Club (FCVC) to launch its first ever competitive program: Forest City Express. That partnership culminated in a very successful U14 Girls’ program (and a silver medal at the Ontario Provincial Championships for the U13 Girls).
“We’re very thankful to the members of the FCVC for their support,” said Dennis Dlouhy, St. Thomas Volleyball club president. “But St. Thomas is a proud community, and we wanted a volleyball identity of its own.”
Starting in September of 2017, the St. Thomas Express Volleyball Club (aka ExpressVC) will continue to teach two simple things: Joy and Technique. But now, in addition to its Grassroots and House League programs, it will be expanding its competitive offerings to U12, U13, U14 and U15 girls as well as U13 and 14 boys.
“This is an exciting expansion for our club – and for volleyball in St. Thomas,” said Dlouhy.
Registration is now open, and interested families are encouraged to visit our website at www.Expressvc.ca to choose a program that is right for them. Come and join the Express!
