What people are saying…

“Victory Volleyball has been great so far for putting together the Healthy Hearts charity tournament. They have been very inviting in coordinating our free Friday practices. Our practices have helped bring our team closer together and they’ve definitely helped us get better prepared to play in the tournament. They have been great exercise, and a perfect way to bring some fun into our every day routines we tend to fall into. We would encourage any team to take advantage of these free sessions, not only is it lots of fun, but it’s FREE!”

- Mark De Leon, Team Blockbusters (RBC Mississauga)

"The RJ McCarthy team thoroughly enjoyed our experience playing in the Healthy Hearts Volleyball tournament. It was a fun filled day of exercise, networking and more importantly a chance to donate to a good cause. The free food was great and the overall atmosphere of the event was positive and fun. We will definitely be participating in this event again and other events hosted by Victory Volleyball."
-Edward Del Rosario, RJ McCarthy
