Who We Are

The Fun Club Volleyball Association (TFCA) has been coordinating a variety of adult, co-ed indoor and outdoor volleyball programs since 1993 in the Metro Vancouver area of British Columbia. The Association was founded initially as a not-for-profit fundraising entity and became a social enterprise with the growth of its participant base, weekly leagues, weekend tournaments and special 2-day events.

Known for being the Creator of the Reverse Co-Ed 4’s volleyball format (see Rules section for details) in 1994.

First organization to use 8-metre courts and 3-metre attack line for grass Reverse Doubles in Metro Vancouver.

We deliver the largest grass R2 & R4 weeknight leagues & weekend tournaments in Metro Vancouver.

  1. TFCA underwent a name change to TFC Volleyball (TFC) in January 2003 and became a social enterprise.
  2. TFC is a member in good standing of the Vancouver Sport Network and Vancouver Field Sports Federation.

    FAQs

    • 1. Payment Policy
      To ensure your team League &/or Tournament spot, a non-refundable Bank ETransfer or a PayPal payment must be made. Remember to provide your email address and contact number, as well as, an email address and cell number of at least one other teammate when securing your team spot. Payment for a particular League / Tournament does not guarantee your registration for the ‘next’ League session or upcoming Tournament.
    • 2.  What is S2?
      S2 commonly referred to as Swingers 2 was developed by TFC Volleyball in 2019 so 2 individuals of any gender could form a team to compete in a grass tournament on a womens height net. S2 teams can be comprised of R2 (a male & a female playing reverse rules), W2 (2 females, must keep service rotation) or Reverse M2 (2 males, but they can only hit behind the 3 metre attack line, the male can only block a male hit). Each format has its advantages depending on the strength(s) of each player.
    • 3.  Net Set-Up / Takedown
      Our League / Tournament Coordinators will set-up the necessary equipment and ensure the surrounding area is safe for play. Of course no assistance from you will be turned away and is appreciated. It is the responsibility of every losing team, after their last match, to takedown and return / store the equipment properly away. We would appreciate if you could point out any defective equipment to the League / Tournament Coordinator.
    • 4. Sub Players for Play-Offs
      An individual is only eligible to participate in League Play-Offs if they have subbed for the ‘same’ team at least one previous week. An individual is only eligible to participate in Tournament Play-Offs if they have subbed for ‘only’ one team, in at least one full game, in the round robin.
    • 5. Sub Players for Grass Tourneys
      No subs are permitted in the R2 & S2 formats. This defeats the purpose of entering a daily tournament.
      With pre-approval, a sub may be permitted in the R4 format. No more than one female & male sub per team & those individuals can not play for more than one team.
    • 6. Supplying Volleyballs
      A bona-fide piece of primary identification or vehicle key is required to secure an indoor or outdoor volleyball for League or Tournament play.
    • 7. Banning a Player
      An individual shall be banned from competing in a League &/or Tournament for a session, event or entire calendar year if they are abusive or use foul language towards a Coordinator(s). We welcome calm, logical 2-way and constructive discussion.
    • 8. R4 Rule Clarification – League & Tournament Play
      TFC Volleyball created the R4 format in 1994 and is played with 2 men and 2 women on the court with a 3 metre line. R4 has been adopted by various volleyball entities throughout the Pacific Northwest and continues to grow in popularity.GRASS: If a team fields 3 players for the Thursday Grass R4 League they ‘must’ play with the Ghost Rule. The Ghost Rule applies to tournament play too. A Reverse Doubles (R2) grass league team ‘must’ field a team with 2 players of the opposite sex.INDOOR: If a league or tournament R4 team suffers an injury, the Ghost Rule shall apply and when it’s time for the Ghost to serve the remaining same sex person ‘must’ do so. The above 2 rulings will provide TFC Volleyball, teams & their opponents consistency, competitiveness and fair play taking into account the difference in playing surface.
