TEAM SELECTION / COMPOSITION
The FVC coaching staff will select a maximum of 12 athletes to form any of the competitive teams. In gender/age categories where there is strong interest and a larger number of athletes participating in tryouts, not all athletes will be offered a position on the team. The coaching staff is not bound to select the maximum 12 athletes if it’s deemed that a significant skill gap (or commitment gap) exists that could be detrimental to overall team development.
In determining team selection, the FVC coaching staff will assess:
- Core Volleyball skills and abilities
- Overall athletic ability
- Effort/focus during tryouts
- Overall demeanour, perceived coachability and team fit
If the number of athletes trying out in any category is significant (e.g. 22+) and practice facilities and coaching is available the FVC will consider forming two teams (organized by ability and ranking from tryouts) in the same category.
Reminder about Volleyball Canada 16-month windows for age groups. Athletes born in Sept-Dec can tryout out at either age categories. If players would like to tryout for both age categories, complete the Expression of Interest twice so that you are expected for both tryouts.
If you have questions about the Tryout process or FVC competitive teams/season, please feel free to email us at club@fernievolleyball.com
Practice days/times for various teams (starting early January 2026) are still being worked out and will be updated along with key Volleyball Alberta tournament dates & locations here: https://fernievolleyball.com/competitive-indoor-teams/
We will share details about season fees in the coming weeks. You can refer to 2025 season fees (for reference only – these will change) and if it’s your first year considering participating in Club Volleyball, consider checking out our Considering Costs information.
Again if your player isn’t showing on the 2026 TRYOUT LIST that indicates you haven’t yet completed the Expression of Interest form online, please do so ASAP at the following link: https://forms.gle/oaoVSbxZkAPbAQqF9
