At vbs apparel, we’re proud to be Canadian, and proud to be a part of the Canadian athletics community. One of the projects that brings us the most pride and satisfaction is working with Canadian National Sports Organizations and Provincial Sports Organizations.

These National and Provincial Sports Organizations are the governing body for amateur sports, either for a single province for the entire nation. Their mission is to foster talent and promote excellence, teamwork, and community in athletes in their communities.

Canada is also home to a thriving scene of multi-sport, national, and interprovincial sports events that bring athletes from different sports and different corners of our big country into one space to celebrate Canadian athletics together.

When you get that many young athletes together in once space, there’s a lot of enthusiasm to capture—and that’s something we excel at. Some of the National, Provincial, and multi-sport events that vbs apparel has been proud to be a part of include:

Volleyball Canada

We’ve been the official merchandise supplier for Volleyball Canada, the nation’s governing body for all amateur volleyball athletes since 2017. We produce and sell Volleyball Canada branded apparel, and accessories for sale year-round at tournaments and online at volleyballstuff.net.

The main event each year is the Volleyball Canada Youth Nationals, the largest youth sporting event in the nation. Each year we begin designing Nationals apparel and merchandise up to six months in advance, going through multiple rounds of design to ensure that we’re in step with the trend of fashion. Then, it’s a multi-week marathon across the country as we chase young volleyball athletes across the country to the different Nationals venues, cheering you on and helping you celebrate your achievements!

2023 North American Indigenous Games

The North American Indigenous Games are a multi-sport cultural and athletics gathering, promoting unity, heritage, and teamwork for young indigenous athletes from across North America. For the 2023 NAIG held in Halifax, vbs apparel was proud to outfit three provincial delegations: Team British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Northwest Territories.

For Team BC, we designed and produced their entire team gear package! Aside from their ceremony jackets, shirts, and accessories, we also designed their competition uniforms for 14+ sports.

We also decked out Team NB and Team NT in team gear as well; accessories, shirts, jackets, and more — apparently the Team NB Hoodie we made was a hot ticket swapping item at the end of the event!

Greater Vernon 2022/2023 BC Winter Games

BC’s premier intra-provincial multi-sport competition was a great showcase for all of the event services we can provide. As the Official Merchandise Supplier, we not only designed and produced multiple lines of merchandise and apparel – including a limited edition collaboration with indigenous artist David Wilson Sookinakin – we also took care of their volunteer apparel, mission staff apparel, and all their online and in-person sales.

Some of the other national and provincial sports organizations and events we’ve been proud to supply include:

  • Softball Canada U17 Girls Fast-Pitch National Championships
  • Indigenous Sport and Wellness Ontario’s All-Nations Volleyball Showcase
  • Volleyball Canada Beach National Championships
  • Volleyball Manitoba

Some of the key services that we’ve heard our previous NSO/PSO clients say they value most include our clear communication, our resourcefulness in managing multiple supply chains to make sure nothing interferes with delivering your gear on time, and the eye-catching designs and premium apparel we can deliver to make your athletes stand out from the crowd. Not to mention the enthusiasm and sales we can generate as merchandise supplier for your events!
