a city with a body of water in the background

We want a better future for Kelowna!

Transforming our city one athlete at a time.

We're a volleyball club. And so much more!

From the very beginning, Genesis Athletics Club has had a big vision. It is born out of the transformational impacts that sport can have - for better and worse. Our leaders want to see all players benefit from athletics, a place where youth of all backgrounds feel accepted.

One phrase we hold close is "Sport is Second." It's a reminder that before we are athletes we are human beings, and we need to keep first things first. We love training, competition, and success on the court. But, at the end of the day, character and community is what lasts - long after the season ends!

Over the last four years, we have seen participation grow from a small, seasonal program of 12 youth to year-round operations that involve over 500 committed young athletes from our city! Through it all, the vision of "changing people through sport" remains the same.

We'd love you to join us on this journey!
