Welcome to the 10th edition of the Meerkat Classic Club Volleyball Invitational Tournament. There is a rich volleyball legacy in the Peace Country and the Meerkat Classic displays that strong and proud tradition of “northern passion” for the sport. The very coveted and emblematic Crystal Cup has represented the pursuit of excellence in northern volleyball for over thirty years and will be presented this year again to all age category champions. The 2024 edition will bring together eighty-five teams from British Columbia and Alberta, which will translate into over four thousand participants, family members and fans. Year after year, many northern volleyball teams are formed and we hope that events, such as the Meerkat Classic, contribute to promoting the sport of volleyball by staging tournaments that inspire competition in a spirit of camaraderie. The South Peace Volleyball Club and the Meerkat Classic Organization Committee wish you all a great tournament and a fantastic time in Grande Prairie.
