Bermuda Junior Boys Volleyball Team
Big Wave Riders Volleyball Club
The Big Wave Riders Volleyball Club (“BWRVC”) is the feeder club for the Bermuda Junior Boys National Volleyball Teams (JNTB). BWRVC generally trains on a Thursday night and Sunday mornings. JNTB / BWRVC teams have participated in overseas tournaments and have traveled throughout the US and Caribbean. Our teams also participate in the BVA sponsored Men’s Winter League and Men’s Indoor Tournament.
This program, along with all other BVA programs, are run on a 100% volunteer basis and through the generous support of our sponsors. We want to thank our sponsors, coaches, team managers, administrators and parents for everything that you do. Whether it’s one hour or many hours or one dollar or many dollars, our success is a direct result of the team effort that continues from year to year. Thank you very much.
