Your registration fees will cover the cost of tournament registration fees and coach travel costs (fuel/hotel/food). You will need to cover the cost of a jersey, and bringing your player to the tournaments and any expenses associated with that.
U13 teams: 4 regional tournaments
U14-U18 teams: 2 regional tournaments (SPVC & D.C.) & 4 Volleyball Alberta tournaments
Each player wanting to tryout for NBCVC will be required to pay an $80 tryout fee and register as a recreational player through Volleyball Alberta / Volleyball Canada ($21.81 fee).
Players selected to the U14-U18 competitive teams will be required to register as a competitive player through Vollleyball Alberta / Volleyball Canada
Each player will be required to sell raffle tickets for the club. It is a great way to help reduce expenses and keep our fees low.
That is up to you. Sponsorship that the club receives help to keep registration costs as low as possible for all members.
If you are wanting to fundraise for a specific team, the sponsorship you receive can be applied to your player's team specifically. Individual player sponsorships are not permitted.
NBCVC does not require specific allotted volunteer hours from parents, but we couldn't run a season without them. There are many ways to help and roles to fill.
The team manager role must be filled by one parent. They are the key communication link between the club, coaches, and parents. Their responsibilities include updating TeamSnap, blocking hotel rooms, and delegating tasks among the other team parents such as:
- scorekeeper
- ball tosser (triple ball)
- helping with our home tournament
- sale of raffle tickets
NBCVC is first and foremost a competitive volleyball club. Our goal is to support and develop competitive teams and players from the ages of U12-U18. The primary consideration for team selection is to build the strongest team possible in a given age category.
As the only community volleyball club in the North Peace region, we also try our best to give as many players the chance to play as possible. If sufficient players and coaching are available, additional teams may be created. Many other technical, safety, and skill-dependent factors must be taken into consideration, and the final decision for team creation rests with the technical director.
U13: Four regional tournaments: Typically 2 tournaments in Grande Prairie, 1 tournament in Peace River and 1 tournament in Dawson Creek.
U14-U18: Two regional tournaments: SPVC (Grande Prairie) and Dawson Creek; Four Volleyball Alberta tournaments.
When your team attends Premiers, their performance is ranked into divisions; the amount of divisions depends on how many teams attend the tournaments; typically there are 5 divisions.
After the first premier, your team will play teams who ranked similar to your team; your team has the ability to move up a division or down a division depending on your ranking at the previous tournament. If you miss a premier, you rank the lowest, and you will be placed in the lowest division for the following tournament (whether it be a premier tournament or the provincial tournament).
You need to register as a Volleyball Alberta/Volleyball Canada player because our club, NBCVC, is registered under Volleyball Alberta. Your player needs to be registered prior to tryouts; detailed instructions on how to register is outlined on the last page of the Season Guide & Registration Package (found under the "TRYOUTS/REGISTRATION" tab).
Officially, the season starts in January following the Christmas break. If practice spaces allow us access earlier, we will take advantage!
Volleyball Alberta's 2024 Season Planner & Competition Regulations is a great resource and fully explains how ranking is determined. The link is below.
