About YYC Volleyball
YYC Volleyball is a competitive volleyball club in Calgary, Alberta focused on developing high-performance athletes who want to compete at the highest levels provincially and nationally.
Their philosophy emphasizes long-term athlete development, relevant skill-building and creating a family environment within each team.
Through the YYC Eagles Girls and Jr Dinos Boys volleyball programs, athletes are supported in an environment built around skill development, trust, communication, camaraderie, and long-term growth. Many players have their sights set on post-secondary or national teams and professional opportunities, making quality training, competitions and travel an important part of their club experience.
The club has returned to TeamFund four times, raising $13,115.40 for YYC Volleyball with the Fill Your Freezer and Bow River Meats fundraisers.
This fundraiser helps athletes and families offset expenses while offering supporters a practical way to stock up on food.
Their most recent Fall 2025 campaign raised $4,918.10 to help alleviate the financial pressure associated with competitive club volleyball.
Common Volleyball Fundraising Challenges
Competitive volleyball creates incredible opportunities for athletes to develop their skills, travel to new places, compete against other teams, and gain invaluable experiences.
But costs can add up quickly, especially when athletes are travelling for tournaments, competing out of province, and competing at a higher level.
YYC Volleyball uses fundraising to help players offset expenses such as:
- Club fees for the season
- Out-of-town and out-of-province tournaments
- Travel-related costs
- Athlete development opportunities
Like many volleyball clubs, they needed a fundraiser that could support multiple teams without adding pressure to already busy coaches, parents, or organizers.
The Fill Your Freezer fundraiser is simple to share, easy for supporters to participate in, and offers products that are practical and you can feel good about ordering.
YYC Volleyball Fundraising Results
Their most recent Fill Your Freezer campaign was their strongest, raising $4,918.10 in support of their athletes. That growth shows that food fundraising is ideal for clubs with ongoing costs, offering a dependable way to help athletes access more opportunities.
Because YYC Volleyball has already used TeamFund in previous seasons, they felt confident including multiple teams in their fundraiser.
Previous fundraisers had focused on the YYC Eagles, but in 2025 they included their Jr Dinos Boys Volleyball team as well.
Supporters knew what to expect, families understood the value, and the club continues to build this practical fundraiser into their seasonal rhythm, returning 1-2x per year in the Spring and Fall.
What Made This Volleyball Fundraising Idea Work
Instead of asking people to buy something small or one-time use, the Fill Your Freezer Fundraiser allows the club to offer restaurant-quality, locally sourced food and grocery staples that families could keep in their freezer and use throughout the season
With TeamFund, YYC Volleyball was able to:
- Offer an online fundraiser that was simple for families to share without managing inventory or collecting paper order forms
- Give supporters a practical reason to participate instead of asking them to buy products they may not want or use
- Raise funds across multiple teams without creating separate systems, extra admin, or confusion – one fundraiser, with profit tracking for each athlete
- Support athlete expenses in a meaningful way with practical products without constantly running small fundraisers throughout the year
- Keep fundraising organized and easy for families, supporters, athletes, and the organizer without hours of administrative work
- Build on past fundraising momentum from previous seasons, families could come back and restock their favourites while earning more in every campaign
When a fundraiser fits real life, supporters get food they actually use, athletes receive meaningful support, and organizers find the process easy without adding too much extra work to an already busy season.
We’re proud to continue supporting YYC Volleyball and their athletes as they work toward another exciting club season.
