Select Team
Registration and Try-outs
2008/2009 season
U12 - U18
The Upper Vancouver Island League takes place between September and March every year. Players are selected on an annual basis and each year there are new tryouts. Tryouts will take place over the course of June 2008, with dates and locations to be announced at the end of May. Once selected, players will be expected to train twice a week (starting in September) and be available for play on Sundays throughout the season with a short break around Christmas time. They will travel to other communities as well as host teams from other North Island communities as part of league play. They will also participate in both Provincial and Island Cup play downs.
Parents will be expected to volunteer with various aspects of the teams' participation in league play. This could mean taking a turn at putting up and taking down nets or assisting in the lining of the field for home games etc.
PLAYING UP Younger players must be assessed in the top 3 to be considered for a spot on an older team. Players wishing to play up must request an assessment in writing (letter or email) addressed to the VP Development. Players still need to try-out for their own age and gender group.
