Competitive Indoor Teams

Updated Jul 31, 2026

The Fernie Volleyball Club participates as part of Volleyball Alberta’s Indoor Club program.

Teams participate in all bigger sanctioned events called “Premiers” as well as Provincial Championships and in many cases even Volleyball Canada ‘Nationals’ and other events. (Optional)

The specific makeup of teams across divisions (Girls vs Boys, 13U to 18U) will be determined by the FVC based on the number of athletes expressing interest to tryout, the number of coaches available and the availability of facilities. The club may not offer teams in all categories depending on these factors.

This general information can serve as a guide to what families/athletes can expect in terms of time commitments for participation in an FVC club team in the 2027 season. If you are newer to club volleyball you may also want to reference this page for some Cost Considerations.

We hope at a minimum to run 1 team at each of the following ages but we largely determine our team makeup based on the interest we gather through filling out our Expression of Interest form.

  • 18U Girls
  • 17U Girls
  • 16U Girls
  • 15U Girls
  • 14U Girls
  • 13U Girls
  • 17U Boys
  • 15U Boys
  • 13U Boys

BOYS – For Boys outside of the target ages consider these options:

If interest is high enough during tryouts and we can find coaches and enough facilities/gym access we may consider running multiple teams in any age division.

General Information – Competitive Teams

  • Season runs from early January through end of April (into May for teams who choose to participate in Nationals). Registration (and tryouts if numbers deem it) happen either in September or in early December.
  • 13U to 15U Teams typically practice twice per week for 90 to 120 minutes.  16U+ teams may practice 3 times per week depending on facilities and coaches.  Most practices occur at Max Turyk Community Centre and Fernie Secondary.
  • 13U ‘Travel’ team(s) participate in 2 ‘Premier’ tournaments as well as Provincials.  All tournament fees for these events are covered as part of the overall fee. Ancillary costs related to athletes or families travelling to the events are not covered. (Travel, lodging and food)
  • 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U & 18U teams participate in 3 ‘Premier’ tournaments as well as provincials. Same information as above about tournament fees covered but not ancillary fees related to travel.
  • The Premier and Provincials events are typically in greater Calgary, Red Deer or Edmonton. (Some limited events in Lethbridge or other locations in recent years)
  • Volleyball Canada Nationals are optional per team (starting at 14U level) and participation is decided by the individual team based on location, expenses, etc. In 2026, the FVC sent 6 teams to Nationals.

All basic information below will continue to be updated with additional 2027 season details in the coming weeks.
