frequently asked questions
How long is the club season?
The season starts with tryouts in September and culminates with the Ontario Championships, a 3-day tournament held in April.
what is the time commitment?
Teams practice 2-3 times each week, for 2-3 hours each practice. The frequency and duration vary based on age group, but athletes are expected to attend a minimum of six practice hours weekly. Additionally, teams will participate in four 1-day tournaments between November and March, and may choose to attend additional tournaments on a team-by-team basis.
we missed tryouts!
can my athlete still join?
Unfortunately, we are unable to add new players once our rosters have been set. Athletes who are looking for mid-season programming may be interested in spring clinics when we offer them.
where do athletes play?
Practices are hosted in the communities of Perth, Smiths Falls, and Carleton Place, pending the availability of community gym spaces. Tournaments are hosted by the Ontario Volleyball Association and the locations vary. Efforts are made to hold tournaments within a reasonable drive, but may range as far west as the GTA.
who can play club volleyball?
Currently, we are offering competitive teams for female athletes born between 2011 and 2007. We value enthusiasm, work ethic, and a winning attitude. We pride ourselves on offering top-tier coaching on both volleyball skills and mental skills.
what does it cost?
LUVC is committed to remaining an accessible club and we strive to keep our costs as low as possible. As a non-profit, our fees are set to recuperate operating expenses only. For the 2024-2025 season, we are estimating that fully rostered teams of 12 athletes will have individual club fees of $1500-$1700 for the season. Additional costs include hotels for the season as well as additional tournaments the team may choose to attend.
