Welcome to HUmmingbird Volleyball Club

Founded in 2019 by Shedrick Forbes, Hummingbird Volleyball Club has quickly established itself as a leading organization in the Durham Region of Ontario. Our mission is to provide a supportive and dynamic environment where young athletes can thrive in the sport of volleyball. With a commitment to development, diversity, and community, we aim to inspire the next generation of players

Our Journey

Hummingbird Volleyball Club began with a simple vision: to create a space where children and teens could explore their passion for volleyball while honing their skills. In our first season, we launched with three teams. Two of those teams achieved the impressive feat of finishing in Division 1, setting a strong foundation for our club’s growth.

As we look to the 2024/2025 season, Hummingbird has expanded to 11 competitive teams, a testament to our unwavering dedication and the hard work of our athletes and coaches. This growth reflects the increasing interest in volleyball within our community and our commitment to providing quality training and opportunities.

Our Mission

At Hummingbird Volleyball Club, we are dedicated to three core principles:

Welcoming Environment: We strive to create a nurturing atmosphere where athletes can learn and grow. Our coaches emphasize sportsmanship, teamwork, and mutual respect, ensuring that every player feels supported. We believe that a positive environment fosters not only athletic performance but also personal growth and confidence.

Development: We believe that skill development is at the heart of athletic success. Our comprehensive training programs focus on building foundational skills, advancing technique, and enhancing tactical understanding. Through regular practices, workshops, and competitive play, we ensure that our players are equipped to excel.

Diversity: We celebrate the unique backgrounds and experiences of our players. Our club is committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. We recognize that diversity strengthens our community and enhances our collective experience on and off the court.
