The athletes involved with the Gee-Gees Women’s Volleyball Team are afforded certain services, resources and equipment on an annual basis.

These benefits are available due to the hard work and comittment of the athletes and alumni since the inception of the program in 1977. It is only through the tireless work of these people in organizing camps and clinics, soliciting corporate support, securing community involvement and donating their volunteer time that our program can offer such a complete package to the current athletes.

This package of benefits and services is in place to help ensure a well balanced, athletic and academic experience over the four or five year career of an athlete. It is our hope, in offering this support, that our student athletes will have the tools needed to achieve their goals of a university degree and an OUA gold medal.

• All training and playing equipment at no cost - including but not limited to:
  volleyball shoes - in association with Asics Canada
