2025 Fees for Fernie Volleyball Club Teams

• 13U Girls (Travel): $650 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC
• 14U Girls (Travel): $825 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC
• 15U Girls (Travel): $870 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC
• 16U Girls (Travel): $915 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC
• 17U Girls (Travel): $915 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC

• 14U Boys (Travel): $775 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC
• 15U Boys (Travel): $870 to FVC + $123.55 direct to VA/VC

Volleyball Alberta (VA) and Volleyball Canada (VC) collect fees for competitive players beyond the fees the club charges.  That amount totals $123.55 and comes in 2 parts – $21.81 of it as part of the tryout fee and the balance ($101.74) after a player is offered a roster spot on a competitive team and accepts.  At that point the family will need to purchase the ‘Competitive’ membership and will pay that $101.74 difference directly in SportLomo. If your player is on the Tryout List and you haven’t yet purchased the $21.81 tryout membership in SportLomo (and completed the other tryout requirements), please follow the instructions here ASAP: https://fernievolleyball.com/2025-competitive-teams-tryout-details/

FVC Fees will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis but for 2025 the budgeted FVC base fees for the Travel teams range between $860 and $1215 per player which is a small increase from last year due to increases in tournament registration costs, increases in facilities rental costs and a modest increase in coach expenses costs during tournaments .  The club is excited to have run successful camp and recreational programs and done enough fundraising to be in a position to offer a very large subsidy (approx $225 per player) this year again to significantly lower these base fees to the levels posted at the top. This level of subsidy is not guaranteed to be consistent/available every year but the FVC works hard to try and make the club as accessible as possible by keeping fees as low as possible.

The FVC portion of fees includes the tournament fees and coaching costs for ALL Volleyball Alberta Premier tournaments and Provincial championships. If teams decide (as a team) to participate in additional events (Volleyball Canada Nationals, US events, additional tournaments, etc) the event & coaching costs will be separate and shared across participating players on those teams. (Teams are welcome to fundraise as a team to help offset additional tournament costs)

Families should also budget the cost of travel, accommodation and food for Premier and Provincial championship events during the season. Some players/parents stay with friends/family in Calgary, Red Deer & Edmonton and many stay in a team organized hotel. Typically games start quite early on Saturday so travelling later on Friday and staying 2 nights is common.  Additional tournaments such as Nationals or the larger US events are often 3 days of competition requiring a longer stay.

Yearly FVC fees are determined by a rigorous budgeting exercise taking into consideration a number of factors including:
– Anticipated number of teams and anticipated number of players per team
– Number and location of tournaments
– Coaching costs (Travel Expenses and Honorarium)
– Uniform & Equipment requirements
– Facilities requirements
– General overhead for operating the club (Website, Volleyball Alberta Registrations, Insurance, Accounting/Legal, etc)

If costs are a barrier to participation in the club, we encourage families to pursue support programs such as:
– Emily Brydon Youth Foundation: https://wp.emilybrydonyouthfoundation.com/
– Canadian Tire Jumpstart: http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/en.html
– Kidsport Canada: http://www.kidsportcanada.ca/british-columbia/
– Athletics 4 Kids: http://www.a4k.ca/

We have had a number of FVC athletes supported via these programs in past years.

• We are still considering whether we can support an older boys team. The closure of the Fernie Community Centre has created unprecedented pressure on facilities this season and currently we don’t have enough facilities access to support more than the teams listed above. We encourage families of interested boys to continue to provide input by registering through the Expression of Interest process. We will keep families updated if tryout opportunities for additional boys teams become available. (no action required for now)

For the majority of teams above we expect more athletes trying out than we have roster spots. Within 48 hours of the completion of the last tryout, we will begin the process of sending emails with offers to be part of the roster to a maximum of 12 players. If offers are not accepted then additional offers may be sent. This whole process can take a number of days to complete so players/parents are asked to be patient. Everyone will be sent an email to advise of their status. FVC fees must be paid at the time of accepting the roster offer (there is an option of paying 50% of fees at offer acceptance and balance by end of January).

VOLLEYBALL ALBERTA / CANADA REGISTRATION (REQUIRED BEFORE TRYOUTS)

To attend tryouts, athletes must be registered with the ‘2025 Youth Development Player – Tryout’ membership:

https://volleyball.canada.sportsmanager.ie/sportlomo/registration/member-registration/club/12526https://volleyballalberta.sportlomo.com/

Be sure to select the 2025 Youth Development Player – Tryout membership at the top and click the Register button at the bottom.

Here’s a link to a registration guide that can hopefully help.  Any questions/issues you can reach out to Julie Noel (info@volleyballalberta.ca) for assistance.

• For returning players/members, you should be able to login with your previous SportLomo account.
• For new members: You can create the SportLomo account under either your player (with their email, etc) directly or the parent.  When you actually complete the ‘Member Details’ (after account creation) you will be filling in the details of your player.

• After successfully registering and paying for the membership you should receive an email with Subject: Member Registration Confirmation (from: noreply@sportlomo.com).   Check spam folder as well.

  • 
• Please forward the email or screenshot to club@fernievolleyball.com by the Nov 20th deadline.

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 2025) are still being worked out and will be updated along with key Volleyball Alberta tournament dates & locations here: https://fernievolleyball.com/programs-2025/

We will share details about season fees in the coming days.  We can’t wait to get the season started!

Again if your player isn’t showing on the 2025 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/6DFUu6T7RudhSKmc8

Long-time FVC board member Sandra Kulczycki will take on responsibilities as President replacing Dennis Staples.

Dennis will be back as a head coach for the 2025 season and continues as club Administrator to help with the day-to-day operations so you should still expect to hear from him on a regular basis! Big thanks for his leadership as FVC President these past 6.5 years as the club grew significantly over that time.

Volleyball Alberta (VA) and Volleyball Canada (VC) collect fees for competitive players beyond the fees the club charges.  NEW IN 2024 – FVC is NOT able to collect and pay a portion of these fees on behalf of players that are selected for competitive teams. Families of returning players may notice that the portion the family is responsible for paying directly to the VA/VC is higher than in the past.  That $117.78 total will come in 2 parts – $21.81 of it as part of the tryout fee and the balance ($95.97) after a player is offered a roster spot on a competitive team and accepts.  At that point the family will need to ‘Upgrade’ the tryout membership to a ‘Competitive’ membership and will pay that $95.97 difference directly in SportLomo. If your player is on the Expression of Interest list and you haven’t yet purchased the $21.81 tryout membership in SportLomo (and completed the other tryout requirements), please follow the instructions here: https://fernievolleyball.com/2024-competitive-teams-tryout-details/

FVC Fees will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis but for 2024 the budgeted FVC base fees for the Travel teams range between $810 and $1161 per player.  The club is excited to have run successful camp and recreational programs and done enough fundraising to be in a position to offer a very large subsidy (average of nearly $285 per player) this year again to significantly lower these base fees to the levels posted at the top. This level of base fee and subsidy is not guaranteed to be consistent/available every year but the FVC works hard to try and make the club as accessible as possible by keeping fees as low as possible.

The FVC portion of fees includes the tournament fees and coaching costs for ALL Volleyball Alberta Premier tournaments and Provincial championships. If teams decide (as a team) to participate in additional events (Volleyball Canada Nationals, US events, etc) the event & coaching costs will be separate and shared across participating players on those teams. (Teams are welcome to fundraise as a team to help offset additional tournament costs)

Families should also budget the cost of travel, accommodation and food for Premier and Provincial championship events during the season.

*GREAT NEWS* –  2023 FEES HAVE NOT INCREASED FROM 2022 DESPITE REASONABLY SIGNIFICANT INCREASES IN BASE COSTS TO VOLLEYBALL ALBERTA MEMBERSHIPS AND TOURNAMENT FEES. 

Volleyball Alberta (VA) and Volleyball Canada (VC) collect fees for competitive players beyond the fees the club charges. FVC is able to collect and pay a portion of these fees on behalf of all players that participate on a competitive team. There is also a portion that has to be paid directly by the athlete/family ahead of tryouts. This fee to be settled ahead of tryouts is considered a ‘2023 Youth Development Player – Tryout’ fee and totals $21.81 ($14 to Volleyball Alberta and $5 to Volleyball Canada + taxes/fees). See below for information about registering for the Youth Development Player – Tryout membership. This fee must be paid and you must send proof of this to the club ahead of tryouts.

For athletes that are offered a spot on an FVC Travel team and accept, the club will be upgrading the VA/VC membership for each athlete on a team roster from ‘Development’ to ‘Youth Indoor Competitive Player’. This upgrade amount is another ~$95 and is collected as part of the overall FVC fees collected. (The overall values at the top of the page for different age categories include these amounts)

Fees will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis but for 2023 the budgeted FVC base fees for the Travel teams range between $832 and $1132 per player.  The club is excited to have run successful camp and recreational programs and done enough fundraising to be in a position to offer a very large subsidy (average of more than $300 per player) this year again to significantly lower these base fees to the levels posted at the top. This level of base fee and subsidy is not guaranteed to be consistent/available every year but the FVC works hard to try and make the club as accessible as possible by keeping fees as low as possible.

The FVC portion of fees includes the tournament fees and coaching costs for ALL Volleyball Alberta Premier tournaments and Provincial championships. If teams decide (as a team) to participate in additional events (Volleyball Canada Nationals, US events, etc) the event & coaching costs will be separate and shared across participating players on those teams. (Teams are welcome to fundraise as a team to help offset additional tournament costs)

Families should also budget the cost of travel, accommodation and food for Premier and Provincial championship events during the season. Some players/parents stay with friends/family in Calgary & Edmonton and many stay in a team organized hotel. Typically games start quite early on Saturday so travelling later on Friday and staying 2 nights in Calgary/Edmonton is common.  Additional tournaments such as Nationals or the larger US events are often 3 days of competition requiring a longer stay.

Yearly FVC fees are determined by a rigorous budgeting exercise taking into consideration a number of factors including:
– Anticipated number of teams and anticipated number of players per team
– Number and location of tournaments
– Coaching costs (Travel Expenses and Honorarium)
– Uniform & Equipment requirements
– Facilities requirements
– General overhead for operating the club (Website, Volleyball Alberta Registrations, Accounting/Legal, etc)

If costs are a barrier to participation in the club, we encourage families to pursue support programs such as:
– Emily Brydon Youth Foundation: https://wp.emilybrydonyouthfoundation.com/
– Canadian Tire Jumpstart: http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/en.html
– Kidsport Canada: http://www.kidsportcanada.ca/british-columbia/
– Athletics 4 Kids: http://www.a4k.ca/

We have had a number of FVC athletes supported via these programs in past years.

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 (generally organized by ability) in the same category.  If there are players that aren’t offered roster positions with teams and enough are interested (across gender & age categories) the club may offer some developmental play opportunities if we have facilities and coaches available.  This development program (if offered) would be promoted in January for a late January start.

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 2023) are not yet established but will be updated soon on the FVC website.  To review 2023 tournament dates/locations for various groups, please visit: https://fernievolleyball.com/programs/

We can’t wait to get the season started!

Again if your player isn’t showing on the 2023 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/RiUuMkc87uoALAB1A

2022 Fees for Fernie Volleyball Club Teams

• 13U Boys (1x/week Development): $210 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 13U Girls (Development): $325 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 13U Girls (Travel): $625 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 14U Girls (Travel): $700 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 15U Girls (Travel): $750 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 16U Girls (Travel): $770 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC
• 18U Women (Travel): $770 to FVC + $17.78 direct to VA/VC

Volleyball Alberta (VA) and Volleyball Canada (VC) collect fees for competitive players beyond the fees the club charges. FVC is able to collect and pay a portion of these fees on behalf of all players that participate on a competitive team. There is also a portion that has to be paid directly by the athlete/family ahead of tryouts. This fee to be settled ahead of tryouts is considered a ‘2022 Youth Recreational Player – Indoor’ fee and totals $17.78 ($10.25 to Volleyball Alberta and $5 to Volleyball Canada + taxes/fees). See below for information about registering for the Youth Recreational Player membership, paying this fee and sending proof of this to the club ahead of tryouts.

For athletes that are offered a spot on an FVC Travel team and accept, the club will be upgrading the VA/VC membership for each athlete on a team roster from ‘Recreational’ to ‘Youth Indoor Competitive Player’. This upgrade amount is another ~$95 and is collected as part of the overall FVC fees collected. (The overall values at the top of the page for different age categories include these amounts)

Fees will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis but for 2022 the budgeted FVC base fees for the Travel teams ranged between $838 and $1058 per player.  The club is excited to have run successful camp and recreational programs and done enough fundraising to be in a position to offer a very large subsidy (more than $200 per player) this year again to significantly lower these base fees to the levels posted at the top. This level of base fee and subsidy is not guaranteed to be consistent/available every year but the FVC works hard to try and make the club as accessible as possible by keeping fees as low as possible.

The FVC portion of fees includes the tournament fees and coaching costs for ALL Volleyball Alberta Premier tournaments and Provincial championships. If teams decide (as a team) to participate in additional events or Volleyball Canada Nationals the event & coaching costs will be separate and shared across participating players on those teams. (Teams often fundraise as a team to help offset additional costs such as Nationals)

For travel teams, families should also budget the cost of travel, accommodation and food for Premier and Provincial championship events during the season. Some players/parents stay with friends/family in Calgary & Edmonton and many stay in a team organized hotel. Typically games start quite early on Saturday so travelling later on Friday and staying 2 nights in Calgary/Edmonton is common.

Yearly FVC fees are determined by a rigorous budgeting exercise taking into consideration a number of factors including:
– Anticipated number of teams and anticipated number of players per team
– Number and location of tournaments
– Coaching costs (Travel Expenses and Honorarium)
– Uniform & Equipment requirements
– Facilities requirements
– General overhead for operating the club (Website, Volleyball Alberta Registrations, Accounting/Legal, etc)

If costs are a barrier to participation in the club, we encourage families to pursue support programs such as:
– Emily Brydon Youth Foundation: https://wp.emilybrydonyouthfoundation.com/
– Canadian Tire Jumpstart: http://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/en.html
– Kidsport Canada: http://www.kidsportcanada.ca/british-columbia/
– Athletics 4 Kids: http://www.a4k.ca/

We have had a number of FVC athletes supported via these programs in past years.

TRYOUTS (DEC 3rd to 12th)

Athletes are encouraged to attend both sessions offered for their age/gender.

• Only Players appearing on this list (navigate age categories along the bottom tabs) having completed the requirements below will be allowed entry during Tryouts.  2022 TRYOUT LIST
• If your player is on this list but isn’t planning to tryout, please email club@fernievolleyball.com to advise us that your player should be removed from the tryout list.
• Proof of Volleyball Alberta/Canada registration as a Youth Recreational player will need to be emailed to club@fernievolleyball.com NO LATER THAN END OF DAY ON THURSDAY, DEC 2ND. (see below for details).

• Athletes should come prepared in athletic wear (shorts/t-shirt) with appropriate indoor court shoes and knee pads (if used). A labeled water bottle is strongly recommended.

Boys Teams – Unfortunately the FVC has not seen interest from the required number of boys to form competitive teams at any age group.  (See below for exception for 13U Boys)

13U Boys – No Tryouts – 2009 & 2010 birth year boys on the Expression of Interest will be emailed in December with an offer to participate in a 1x/week development group (no travel & reduced fees per above).

13U Girls (2 Teams)

• Friday, Dec 3rd – 4-6PM – Fernie Community Centre
• Saturday, Dec 4th – 6-8PM – Fernie Community Centre (TYPO PREVIOUSLY – NOW UPDATED)

There is quite a large group of athletes expected for the 13U Girls tryouts.  The process starting within 24 hours after the 2nd tryout/evaluation will be the following:

• The 12 players evaluated to have the most experience/skill will be offered by email to join the 13U ‘Travel’ team.
• If any players offered a position on this team decline the roster position (e.g. choose to play on the Development team instead), another offer will be extended working down the evaluation list.
• Once the Travel team has 12 confirmed players, offers will be extended to enough players to form a Development team of 12 players. (Lower fees per above)
• This process can take 4 or 5 days to complete so players/parents are asked to be patient. Once athletes have accepted offers to fill both teams, any remaining players not selected will be notified by email.
• Both teams will practice together, have shared coaches and follow similar practice plans & curriculum through the season.

14U Girls (1 Team)

This process can take a few days to complete so players/parents are asked to be patient. Everyone will be sent an email to advise of their status. FVC fees must be paid at the time of accepting the roster offer (there is an option of paying 50% of fees at offer acceptance and balance by end of January).

As always consider Liking our Facebook page or following us on Instagram to stay current on all FVC news and highlights.

Despite how fluid and tricky things are with the quickly changing Covid landscape & guidelines, the FVC is moving forward with plans to form our competitive teams and get our club ‘season’ started.

Obviously things will look quite different as we launch into 2021.  Some overall guiding principals and parameters you can expect:

• Strict adherence to all regional & provincial Covid guidelines/restrictions.  See the FVC Covid-19 safety plan for more details.
• A more ‘practice & development’ oriented philosophy compared to traditional years – at least for the start of the season until the Covid landscape allows more. (This likely also means some limitations on what activities are allowed on-court during tryouts/practices to adhere to Volleyball BC & viaSport guidelines for the ‘Phase’ of return to play we are in at the time)
• The FVC will maintain our traditional approach to forming teams.  This approach will group the most ‘like-skilled’ athletes loosely following the Volleyball Canada age guidelines. We believe this is the most appropriate development model for all athletes. (See section below on Team Selection/Composition)
• If it allows more players overall to play, the FVC on a case-by-case basis may selectively allow some flexibility in strict age guidelines when forming teams for the 2021 season.  e.g. an 16U athlete who doesn’t have a team may be selected for a 15U team
  • In the case of any such ‘age allowances’, it’s important to note that if the competitive landscape evolves and formal Volleyball BC, Volleyball Alberta or Volleyball Canada competitions become viable, teams may need to be re-formed/adjusted to only allow age-eligible players to participate in those competitions.  (e.g. it’s possible a player becomes a ‘practice-only player’ if larger sanctioned competitions become available and the player isn’t age-eligible at the same age grouping of the majority/remainder of the team)
• The FVC will actively seek out appropriate competitive opportunities if and as Covid guidelines allow. (Regional league or otherwise)
  

  FEES

The FVC board has established fees for the 2021 indoor/competitive season to be $250 per athlete.  This includes:

• 2 x per week practices from early January to roughly mid-May
• All facilities rental and equipment
• Coaching honorariums for head coaches
• Use of FVC jersey for team scrimmages against other FVC teams

If guidelines allow us to extend our ‘practice-centric’ season to include more competitive play then there will be additional fees required to support those opportunities. (Whether the structure is a regional league or broader competitions)

All players trying out for FVC teams will need to be registered with Volleyball Alberta/Volleyball Canada as Youth Players and will need to provide all signed forms to the FVC prior to attending tryouts.  Any athlete who participated in the FVC Tune-Up program has already been registered and has provided all required paperwork.

TRYOUTS (JAN 3rd & 5th)

• Per Covid limitations, all tryout participants MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED this season to be allowed access to the facility on the day/time of tryouts. (NO EXCEPTIONS)
• IMPORTANT – DEADLINE – DEC 18TH, 2020 – To ensure your athlete is fully registered and the FVC expects them for tryouts please reference this website:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gnSJe0kIne2zVJFT0xkaU0BqQ_EnM3a6rQ20tjzLgb8/edit?usp=sharing
  • Navigate the Tabs at the bottom to view different ages/categories
  • If your player is on the list and highlighted in Green they are all set!
  • If your player is on the list but has changed their mind and isn’t planning to attend tryouts, please email club@fernievolleyball.com to have them removed from the list
  • If your player is on the list but not highlighted in Green then be sure to complete the Volleyball Alberta/Canada registration and paperwork (see below) and send proof of both to club@fernievolleyball.com. These steps are necessary to get them ‘Green’.
  • If your player is not on the list but would like to attend tryouts then complete the Expression of Interest form here: https://forms.gle/yNpXshaYibiq5Eep9
    • If they didn’t participate in the Tune-Up Program you also need to complete the Volleyball Alberta/Canada registration & paperwork (see below).
• A $5 cash fee will be collected at tryouts to support the cost of facilities rentals for the tryouts.
• Athletes should come prepared in athletic wear (shorts/t-shirt) with appropriate indoor court shoes and knee pads (if used). A water bottle with their name on it is recommended.
• Masks will be expected to be worn from when they step foot into the facility until they leave the facility at the end of the session (masks mandatory for all on court activities & duration of session).

SUNDAY JAN 3rd – MAX TURYK COMMUNITY CENTRE

• 17U/18U Girls (Grades 11 & 12) – 9:30 – 11:30AM

(Coaching and gym time dependent)

REQUIRED – VOLLEYBALL ALBERTA / CANADA REGISTRATION (If your player participated in the Tune-Up program than this is not required)

REGISTRATION FORM LINK: https://site2704.goalline.ca/register.php?reg_form_id=36740

There are 2 VERY IMPORTANT To-Do’s here (follow all steps very carefully):

1. Complete the entire process including eSigning all the required Volleyball Alberta paperwork AND paying the $15.50 fee via Paypal.
   • If your player has participated in a previous FVC program they quite likely have a Goalline access code already. Search your email for ‘Goalline’ to see if a previous registration email includes the access code. If you have trouble finding the code or aren’t sure if you have one, click the ‘What’s my Access Code’ link for help retrieving.
   • If you are prompted for your Region/Association, select ‘Region 1 – Sunny South’. The ‘Team Code’ field can be left blank.
   • In Step 3 (page showing the Registration Overview) be sure to follow the instructions at the bottom and go to this link to eSign the required Volleyball Alberta waivers & forms. https://bit.ly/368lPph
   • Be sure to RETURN TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE to complete the Goalline registration (Step 4) including being redirected to Paypal to pay the $15.50 registration.
2. Email proof of payment AND copies of signed waivers/forms.
   • You will receive 2 emails after successfully completing the steps above. Forward BOTH emails to club@fernievolleyball.com
   • One email will have the Subject: ‘Document signed: Membership Consent Forms Package’ and includes a PDF attachment. Be sure the PDF attachment is forwarded when you send the email to club@fernievolleyball.com
   • The other email will have the Subject: ‘2021 Youth Player Registration Confirmation – VA’

YOU MUST FORWARD BOTH EMAILS TO CLUB@FERNIEVOLLEYBALL.COM PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT ON DECEMBER 18TH, 2020 TO CONFIRM YOUR ATHLETES PARTICIPATION IN TRYOUTS.

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, it is possible that not all athletes will be offered a position on the team. In situations where 12 or fewer athletes tryout for a team, the coaching staff is not bound to select all 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 (generally organized by ability) in the same category.

Offers to join a team will be sent by email shortly after tryouts. If the offer is accepted additional registration paperwork and season fee payment will be due within a couple of days to secure the spot on the team.
