VOLLEY BORÉAL is an inclusive Montreal volleyball club founded with the aim of promoting the practice and development of the sport among members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community.

VOLLEY BORÉAL promotes mutual respect, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic origin, income or ability.

The arduous work of the transitional committee, two consultative meetings and two special general assemblies led to the merger of VOLLEYBALL LAMBDA and LASCAR. The brand new non-profit association, VOLLEY BORÉAL, began its activities on September 22, 2004. The club was legally constituted on February 27, 2007.

The official name of the organization became, from that moment, VOLLEY BORÉAL, LGBT volleyball club in Montreal.

Volleyball Lambda, a competitive gay volleyball club, began its activities in 1982 and has organized the BIG JUMP tournament every year since 1983, often sanctioned by the NAGVA (North American Gay Volleyball Association) and widely frequented by Americans.

Lascar, a cheerful volleyball league, focused on participation and favoring the social aspect, began its operations in 1983 and has been organizing its international tournament, the ODYSSEY, since 1998, thus reminding us of the mythological adventures of Ulysses.

VOLLEY BORÉAL offers game and training evenings for everyone at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. More than 200 members attend the club on a regular basis on Mondays and during tournaments in Montreal, Ottawa, Quebec, Toronto and elsewhere in the world!

VOLLEY BORÉAL therefore organizes the Holiday Tournament annually during the month of December and the ODYSSEY tournament during the Easter weekend.

VOLLEY BORÉAL is a member of Team Montreal and Volleyball Quebec.
