WHO WE ARE

OUR STORY

Valor Volleyball Club was founded in 2022 by Mikayla and Michael Pabai, two leaders who shared a clear vision: to create a volleyball community that puts people before performance, without sacrificing competitive excellence.

What began as a small group of committed athletes and families has grown into one of the region’s most value-driven youth volleyball programs. From the start, Mikayla and Michael set out to build a club where athletes are seen as humans first, where coaches are intentional mentors, and where culture, connection, and character come before titles or results.

Now in 2025, Valor proudly serves 13 competitive teams (12U–17U) and 2 academy groups (ages 9-15), with over 220 athletes from across Beaumont, Leduc, Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Wetaskiwin, and beyond.

Every team and group at Valor trains under our mantra — Train. Empower. Conquer. — with a commitment to high standards, holistic development, and a united club identity. Whether an athlete is just starting out or chasing next-level goals, they’ll find a home at Valor built on trust, purpose, and the belief that they are more than just a volleyball player.

We don’t just coach the game — we help shape people who lead on the court, and in life.

OUR VISION

To be a leader in youth sport by redefining what it means to develop athletes — not just through high performance, but through purpose, people, and possibility.

We envision a volleyball community where every athlete is known, challenged, and supported, and where access to elite-level training is not determined by financial means, but by heart, work ethic, and character.

OUR MISSION

At Valor Volleyball Club, we believe in developing great athletes by first investing in great people.

Our mission is to deliver elite, holistic volleyball programming that nurtures the mind, body, and character of every athlete. Through relationship-based coaching and a strong club culture, we empower athletes, families, and staff to grow with purpose — on and off the court.

We are committed to making high-level sport accessible to all through community funding, sponsorships, and inclusive programming — ensuring every athlete has the opportunity to train, empower, and conquer.
