VolleyStars

A fun and welcoming after-school volleyball program for elementary students in Vancouver, BC.

About VolleyStars 🏐

VolleyStars is a student-led, not-for-profit after-school volleyball program created to introduce elementary school students to volleyball at an earlier age. My name is Jacob Jew, and I created this program after years of competitive club experience and involvement in the volleyball community. Through my time playing at both the school and club level, I realized that volleyball is often treated primarily as a high school sport, meaning many students do not get the opportunity to try it until after elementary school.

VolleyStars was created to change that. Our program teaches the fundamentals of volleyball in a fun, supportive, and inclusive environment where students can build confidence, teamwork, and friendships. By introducing volleyball earlier, we help students develop foundational skills that will prepare them for potential high school teams or competitive clubs if they choose to continue.

Our sessions are run by experienced volunteer coaches with over five years of experience in both volleyball and working with children. We aim to create a positive space where every child feels encouraged, supported, and excited to learn.

Meet the Coaches 😀

  • About Me

    Hi, I'm Jacob!
    I'm 16 years old in Grade 11, and I’ve been playing volleyball since I was 11. I have competed at the competitive club level with 604 Volleyball (14U and 15U), Apex Volleyball (16U and 17U), and have been a member of the David Thompson Secondary School volleyball team since Grade 9. Through both club and school volleyball, I’ve developed strong fundamentals, leadership skills, and a love for the game. I’m excited to share my experience with younger athletes and help them build confidence, improve their skills, and most importantly, have fun on the court!

    Hi, I'm Lucas!
    I’m a fifteen-year-old volleyball player who has been involved in the sport since age ten. I’ve played three seasons in club volleyball and compete for Killarney Secondary’s team. Over the years, volleyball has helped me grow in confidence, find my voice, and build friendships across the province. I love sharing the game with younger athletes and have experience leading kids in both martial arts and team sports. My goal is to help them develop strong fundamentals and enjoy the sport in any path they choose. As a provincial champion and Team BC athlete, I’m excited to inspire others.
