VOLLEY BORÉAL is a Montreal volleyball club, by and for the LGBT community (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender), their hetero friends and everyone in between. The club is open to all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age and race. Discrimination is not tolerated.
The fusion of LAMBDA and LASCAR was made possible thanks to the hard work of the Transitional Committee, two consultative meetings and two special general assemblies. VOLLEY BORÉAL, the all-new, non-profit association, made its debut on September 22, 2004, and was legally formed on February 27, 2007.

From this moment on, the official name of the organization was to be VOLLEY BORÉAL, Montreal’s LGBT volleyball club.

Volleyball Lambda, a gay volleyball club catering to competitors, originally started its activities in 1982 and from 1983, organized the notorious annual Big Jump tournament, with the common support of NAGVA (North American Gay Volleyball Association). This tournament was popular with our American friends.

Lascar, a gay volleyball league oriented on participation and the social facet, began its activities in 1983 and from 1998, organized the international ODYSSÉE tournaments (a reminder to us all of mythology surrounding Ulysses).

VOLLEY BORÉAL offers evenings of sport and training to both women and men, ranging from beginners to intermediate to advanced levels. More than 200 members regularly participate in this club every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, including weekends, and during the many tournaments taking place in Montreal, Ottawa, Québec City, Toronto, Paris and elsewhere in the world!

VOLLEY BORÉAL organizes the annual Noël tournament during the 2nd weekend of December and the ODYSSÉE tournament every Easter weekend.

VOLLEY BORÉAL is a member of Équipe Montréal.
