NEWS RELEASE
SCORPIONS YOUTH VOLLEYBALL CLUB
************************
The Scorpions Youth Volleyball Club Inc. is one of the largest and fastest growing youth beach volleyball clubs in Canada.
Over 700 youth registered in their outdoor beach volleyball programs in 2024. The Scorpions Youth Volleyball Club has had a working relationship with Emerald Lake Waterpark to use their sand courts for the last thirteen years. The courts were in need of significant renovation to bring them up to standard.
The club has been a recipient of a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to help partially fund the renovation of three beach volleyball courts at Emerald Lake Waterpark. The renovation of these courts will include the addition of drainage and Olympic grade volleyball sand.
On Thursday July 25th, 2024 at Emerald Lake sand courts at 6pm MPP Jess Dixon, along with a Scorpion’s Volleyball Club Board of Directors, will attend a brief ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the new courts.
Paul Langan, Scorpions Beach Program Coordinator states, "Our youth beach program was at capacity. In order to host youth beach tournaments and to allow more youth to play beach volleyball we wanted to invest in the community. We have had a very positive relationship with Emerald Lake in the past. With this new investment and lease we look forward to being able to host more tournaments and programs for youth in the area.
We would like to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an Agency of the Government of Ontario, for funding a major part of the renovation of these courts. Investing in healthy activities for youth is paramount to the mandates of our club and the Trillium foundation."
