From our Program Director:
We are excited about the upcoming 2021 season! Like all clubs, we are awaiting confirmation of facilities booking before we will be able to know exactly how many teams we can run. In the meantime, Volleyball Nova Scotia (VNS) has updated their Try-Out Window information and we are following their protocols. To learn more about this, please click this link and here is where you can find the age categories.
This week, November 16 - 23, we will be sending out re-signing letters to some of our athletes from past seasons. Should the athlete re-sign, this guarantees a spot on one of our teams.
The week of November 25 - December 3, we will advertise how many spots are available for each team and athletes can then contact us (a form will be provided on this website) to express their interest in playing for a specific team. If we still have spots left after this process, we will have Open Try-Outs the week of December 6 - 16.
Atomics: We will also be running our mini/atomic program (grades 3 - 6) on Sunday mornings beginning in January
Skills Programs: We will be running two skills programs and one House League.
House league players will be on house teams and will play other house teams once a week, always the same night.
Again, we are still in the process of confirming gym allocations, so we ask for your patience as we work through the coordination required. More information will be posted here as it becomes available
