Description
Welcome to BCIT Recreational Volleyball League!
Bump, spike and set! If you're a beginner to volleyball or looking to hone your skills in a semi-competitive atmosphere, this league is for you! This is a open-category* Recreational Volleyball League that offers 8 regular season games, up to 2 playoff games.
How it Works
Even though this league is just for fun, players will play against other teams every week! All games are played weekly, self-officiated and played at co-ed net height. Please note, this is a structured league that requires players to commit to playing on a weekly basis.
Please note: Due to scheduling limitations, players are only permitted to play on one team per semester. Players cannot register for Advanced AND Recreational Volleyball Leagues. Advanced players are not permitted to substitute on Recreational league teams.

Who should sign up for Recreational Volleyball League?
This league is intended for players looking to have fun, meet new people and/or hone their skills in a semi-competitive environment. You might consider joining if:
- Your team is all about having fun and enjoys light competition!
- Your team is looking to develop foundational volleyball skills and/or refine positions.
- Your team does not include any current or former competitive high school, club and/or collegiate-level volleyball players.
It is the responsibility of teams to self-assess their overall skill level and register in the most appropriate category. Teams may be subject to movement into the Advanced category if staff deem skill level of players exceeds the Recreational level. The Advanced Volleyball League is considered mixed-category which means teams must adhere to a minimum of 2 women (trans women & femme aligned folks encouraged to join) players on the team who must play a minimum 50% of games. Any team transferred is responsible for adhering to the mixed-category requirement.
What is Open-Category?
This category encourages all individuals to participate from all genders, including those who identify as Two-Spirit, trans and non-binary.
Flex Re-Pool/Reseeding System
With a growing community, a flex re-pool/reseed will allow teams to be slotted into the best league category. During the first 2 weeks of games, team will be evaluated by Intramural Staff on a set of criteria. This, alongside teams' Win-Lose Record will be considered during re-seeding, which may result in a team moving into a different category for the remainder of the season. Restructuring of the league will allow for a balanced league, but remains fun for all participants.
Structure:
- Week 1 and 2: Recreational and Advanced Leagues (True to Registration)
- Week 2-8: Recreational and Advanced Leagues (Top 4 teams in the Recreational League will move into the Advanced League, the bottom 4 teams in the Advanced League will move into the Recreational League)
- Week 2-8: Recreational, Intermediate, and Advanced Leagues (The top 4 teams in the Recreational League and the bottom 4 teams in the Advanced League will move into the Intermediate League)
* This structure may not come into effect* The first 2 weeks of games will not count towards league standings* If the league is split into 3 categories, Recreational players may only substitute on Intermediate League teams, Intermediate players may substitute on both Recreational and Advanced League teams, and Advanced players may only substitute on Intermediate League teams.
