EAVC BOYS TEAM

It has been brought to my attention that there is some interest in starting a boys team for the 2009-10 EAVC club season. In order for this team to be developed, I need a qualified coach that has had previous coaching experiences. The athletes on this team will be Sr. High School aged athletes competing for a spot on a U18 team or U17 team depending on the athletes that are interested.

The team can be run out of a community other than Provost. I am thinking that players from the areas of Chauvin, Provost, Consort, Castor, Coronation would be able to generate a team to represent EAVC. The coach can be from any area and I believe that the players would be willing to travel (within about an hr or so) to practice. The Provost gym is becoming very booked so an alternative venue would be preferred. If you are interested in coaching or playing please email Todd Cheram by December 13th.

Macklin Athletes with EAVC?

Athletes in Macklin interested in playing/trying-out for EAVC must receive a release from the Saskatchewan Volleyball Association. Macklin athletes interested must email Dan Medford at execdirector@saskvolleyball.ca, indicating the reasons they would like to play for the East Alberta Volleyball Club....ie Provost is 10 minutes away from Macklin and the next closest Saskatchewan club is 1.5 Hours away. If there is a Saskatchewan club near Macklin then a release would not be provided as we would want the athletes to play in their province provided there is a club reasonably within their proximity. Dan will contact Todd Cheram once he’s heard from these athletes.

Note: this release must be completed before tryouts to ensure that athletes will be eligible for sure and not just hopefully!!!

U18 GIRLS TEAM is on hold!

As of November 24 2009, EAVC is looking for interested and qualified coaches to run a U18 team. If you are interested in coaching this group, please email Todd Cheram at:

todd_cheram@hotmail.com

To the athletes that are interested in this age category, please email me as well to let me know that there is enough interest to support a team.
