Club Volleyball Tryout and Signing Process

If you are not currently signed to a team, you may partake in the tryout process listed below. Athletes who are already signed to a club are not eligible to participate in tryouts.

Step 1: Register for Tryouts
Register for Valor tryouts here. Tryout fees are $30 per age group and can be paid via e-transfer or online payment.

Step 2: Purchase Your Membership
Register for a “Youth Development Player – Tryout” Membership through Volleyball Alberta. (Approx. $20)
Please be prepared to provide proof of your membership when you check-in at tryouts. 

Step 3: Participate in Tryouts
Arrive at the time provided to you, and participate actively in tryouts.
Ask questions and make sure that the club is the right fit for you.

Step 4: Letter of Intent
If a club wishes to offer you a spot, they will give you a Letter of Intent.
Take the time you need to decide if you’ll accept the offer. Most letters will give a deadline to accept/decline the offer.

Step 5: Signing & Registering to Your Club
Should you receive & accept an offer from Valor, you will return your signed Letter of Intent before the deadline listed. Once you’ve returned your letter, you will be required to upgrade your membership (from Step 2) to a “Competitive Player” membership under Valor Volleyball Club with Volleyball Alberta as soon as possible. (approx. $90)
