We are a non-profit volleyball club based out of Winnipeg, but many of our athletes also come from surrounding areas.

We are very different people, and each of us bring a different skill-set to the BLAZERS. We work closely as a team to run these programs, and sincerely have the best interests of our athletes as our primary focus. We work with the goal of making our athletes' volleyball experience a highlight in the memories of their youth.
