Regina Volleyball Club

All age-class team selection sessions will be held at Campbell Collegiate (102 Massey Rd) on:

    Sunday, Oct 16   and  Sunday, October 23 

Each age-class will have 2 sessions starting at the same time on each day. Players do need to attend both sessions. (If an absence is unavoidable, please inform RVC). Ensure that you have registered online before coming to the first session (preferably by Oct 14th). When you arrive, report right away to the registration table. Please come a bit early to have time to register and get changed so you're ready on time for the session. Schedule below

Note to parents: We need a number of parents willing to help out by tossing balls during the tryout drills - nothing hard or complicated - if you can help out, please email Maureen with the time you'll be there - and bring your court shoes. Thank you in advance for volunteering.

Uniforms: Samples for uniform sizing will be available at tryouts. You MUST try on a uniform and confirm your size at that time. A full-line of optional RVC clothing will be available to players following team selections.

TIPS FOR TRYOUTS:

With tryouts coming up SOON, there is really no time left for you to drastically improve your physical or technical skills (e.g. increase your jump by 6 inches) - BUT there are other things you CAN do...

1. Come prepared. Get a good night’s sleep and come rested and energetic. Eat ahead of time. Bring a water bottle with you and stay hydrated throughout the day. And don’t forget to bring your shoes and kneepads and hairbands/elastics.
2. Arrive early. All players should have registered on line before arriving. Make sure that you have your payment sent it or with you. If you do this, then registration will be quick and all you have to do is get an id number put on your leg - and you’ll be all set to go.
3. Attitude is huge. Don’t worry about what you can’t do or can’t do well. Coaches are confident that they can teach players most skills - what they want to see is your personality, your coach-ability and your potential to become a great volleyball player. Show them that you want to learn. Coaches don’t want to work with young people who think they know it all already. Ask questions if you don’t understand something.
4. Hustle everywhere - in drills and when shagging balls (you can rest when in line). Listen closely to instructions. When a coach is talking to you or to the group - stop moving and talking - and pay attention.
5. Be social - Talk to the girls you do know, and even the ones you don't. It will show the coaches that you're a team player. SMILE lots! Look like volleyball is fun for you.
6. Do your best to perform the skills as best as you can. When you're waiting in line - pay attention so you don't waste a turn by not being ready. Focus of making good accurate passes - a good pass is the foundation for every successful play. Take the ball! Call it and play it -don't let it ever drop to the floor without trying to play it. You'll get brownie points for hustling if you hit the floor after a ball even if you don't actually touch it.
7. Think positively - have fun and don't worry. You always play better when you're relaxed, but still focused. You will naturally feel nervous - a little or a lot. Picture yourself doing well…Tell yourself that you can do it…and try your best. That’s all anyone can ask. Coaches will have a difficult job assessing everyone fairly and placing them on the most appropriate team. Do what you can do to stand out.
