PCVC History

The club was started in the fall of 1988. Many of the original players had known each other through playing recreational softball. The original league had 60 players in total. They were organized into 6 teams of 10 players each, 30 men and 30 women.

The Port Credit Volleyball Club takes its name from the original venue it played at: Port Credit High School. Games were held on two nights each week during the school year. Over the years locations of play have changed to various other venues in South Mississauga. The league was expanded to 12 teams with 8 players on each team. Games were also consolidated into a single night each week: Thursdays.

Since 1988, the club has formalized its structure, adopted a constitution, and it became a registered non-profit corporation in 2013.

About PCVC

Port Credit Volleyball Club (PCVC) is a non-profit, co-ed indoor volleyball organization that has been playing in the Port Credit (Mississauga) area since 1988. The purpose of the club is to provide semi-competitive volleyball for adults while promoting social activities among the members as governed by the PCVC Constitution. The league is made up of 96 members and consists of 12 teams with 8 players on each team. PCVC is run by a 7 member executive committee elected by PCVC members.

PCVC runs a weekly volleyball league. The season starts mid-September and continues until May. Games are on Thursday evenings from 7PM-10PM in school gyms in Mississauga. Registration for the league is done as an individual and teams are formed by the executive to ensure that every team is balanced.

PCVC also holds tournaments once a month on Saturdays. Sign up as an individual and the executive will create the teams for an exciting day of volleyball. Please see the Tournaments page for the schedule of upcoming tournament dates or to sign up for a tournament.
