The Javelin Invitational is our sponsored championship for competitive volleyball. The top two teams from Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton meet in one final to play for a mega cash prize, the title of the number one team on Javelin, and the right to host next year's Invitational in their city.
Last year's final was played for $10,000 in cash. It's the prize every competitive team on Javelin is chasing.
Beat the best two teams from every city and there's no debate left. You're the top team across Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton.

Drop ins are for getting better. Leagues are for a good season. The Invitational is for teams that want to find out who's actually the best. Every rally in the qualifier matters, because only two teams per city move on.
The road to the Invitational starts on the courts you already play on. Here's where competitive teams in each city are getting ready.
2 spots in the finalToronto and the GTA have the deepest pool of competitive volleyball on Javelin, with games most nights at venues like Pakmen Courts in Mississauga, Battle Arena in Markham, Woodbridge Sports Dome in Vaughan and Kings Court in Etobicoke. Last year's Invitational final was played in Toronto, so GTA teams have a title to defend.
2 spots in the finalOttawa's competitive volleyball scene is tight-knit, which means every qualifier match is a rivalry. Teams sharpen up at High Intermediate and Intermediate drop ins at the Orleans Dome, then go after one of Ottawa's two spots in the final.
2 spots in the finalCalgary teams play competitive volleyball year-round at the Volleyball Dome and ACE Athletic Centre, from High Intermediate drop ins to open tournaments. Two Calgary teams will carry Alberta's hopes into the final.
2 spots in the finalEdmonton's best teams train and play at the Edmonton Sports Center. The Invitational gives them a reason to push even harder: win the qualifier, win the final, and next year's championship comes to Edmonton.
Last year's Invitational was hosted in Toronto, where teams competed for a $10,000 cash prize. Champions: One Punch.
The teams that make the final don't come together the week before. Here's how competitive teams in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton prepare for the Invitational.
The fastest way to get better is to play against people who are better than you. Book High Intermediate and Advanced drop ins on Javelin and get used to the pace before the qualifier. Not sure where you fit? Read our skill level guide.
Chemistry wins close sets. Book the same games as a group, enter local tournaments in your city, and learn how each other plays under pressure.
Serve receive, transition and serving under pressure decide competitive matches. Javelin training sessions and clinics are a good way to sharpen the skills that matter most in a tight deciding set.
Only the top two teams in each city qualify, so there's very little room for a bad match. Go in with a plan for every set, not just the first one.
