New Beach Volleyball Facility to Strengthen Volleyball Opportunities in Central Alberta
Beach volleyball in Central Alberta is set for a major boost as Volleyball Alberta, the Government of Alberta, and Red Deer Polytechnic (RDP) partner to develop a new 16-court outdoor beach volleyball training and tournament facility in Red Deer.
Supported through Alberta’s Active Communities Initiative, the project includes a combined investment of $1 million, with Volleyball Alberta and the Government of Alberta each contributing $500,000 toward the new facility.
The development builds on an already successful partnership between Volleyball Alberta and Red Deer Polytechnic. Each year, RDP hosts Volleyball Alberta Premier tournaments and events, welcoming approximately 20,000 athletes and spectators from across the province to Red Deer.
Once complete, the facility will support a wide range of volleyball opportunities, including recreation, athlete development, training, competition, and community programming. The courts will be located adjacent to the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre, providing convenient access to changerooms, fitness amenities, food services, and event-support infrastructure.
