Scorpions Youth Volleyball Club in Cambridge Ontario have put forward to the City of Cambridge Council and Task Force members a proposal to re-purpose a surplus arena with 4 sport courts. Here are the facts.

• Refurbish arena by installing 4 volleyball sports courts
• It would take maximum 5 days to put in the 4 sport courts in an existing arena. ( NOTE: They do it every year at RIM park. They turn all the hockey rinks into volleyball courts for the provincial championships in about a week)
• Ready to use. Cost is about $50,000. per court including net systems and flooring. So full cost is $300,000.     
• We would have the only volleyball specific facility in the Waterloo Region.
• Scorpions Volleyball Club will partner with the City of Cambridge and put up between $30,000-$50,000.
• Scorpions Volleyball Club had 1,000 youth registered in their programs in 2015.
• With the school boards charging prices of $1,500. to book gyms on a weekend, there is a need and an excellent opportunity for the City of Cambridge to provide affordable court space.
•  No need to build a third gym at new facility (Save $2.5 million)
