EAVC Tryout Continued

I was very pleased with the turn out that we had at our first open house on December 5. The tryout showcased some great talent from our region. I was pleased with the energy in the gym and am excited to be seeing everyone back in the gym on December 12th.

December 12 2010 @ Provost Public School

15U - 1:00-2:30
16U - 2:30-4:00
17U& 18U - 4:00 - 5:30

Some athletes may be approached by coaching staff to stay and play with an older group to look at team dynamics.

Athletes who are attending this Tryout for their first time will be expected to pay the $10 fee.

There will be an adjustment to the EAVC fees due to an over site, there is a $50 player registration and an athlete's percentage of the coaches registration fees with AVA not accounted for in the sample Invoice. Please understand that the fees are based on a 12 member team. In the event that the teams are smaller in numbers, which it is looking like they will be at this time, the fees will again be adjusted.

I am pleased to confirm that EAVC is almost certain to be offering three teams to the athletes from 15U to 18U.

In the new year, EAVC will also be offering teams to 13U and 14U. EAVC will be reaching our mission to offer opportunities for all age groups to be involved in the volleyball club experience. Thank you coaches.

2010-11 Season Update

As our 2010 school seasons are coming to an end, many athletes in the area are seeking out their opportunities to be part of a club volleyball experience. EAVC continues to be a great club with many alumni and new faces expressing their interest. The new season promises to be an exciting one as the callibur of the volleyball in our area continues to grow. At this point EAVC will be aiming to create an opportunity for all age categories to tryout amongst the areas best athletes.

Brad Pylypow has expressed his committment once again to EAVC. He has disclosed that he will be running 2 teams this year, a 13U and a 14U team.

Todd Cheram (myself) will be coaching 2 teams as well. I will be hosting an openhouse in december to gauge who I have for interest. From their I will be taking the most experienced combinations and making 2 teams from them. The teams may have any combination of athlete ages as long as they are of age or younger than the category. For example a 15U Player could play 16U... The teams will be composed of the strongest talent and committment eligable to play. If a 16U player is strong enough and adds to the 18U team , this athlete may find themselves with the older group. At this point I am planning to coach an 18U and 16U team.

Jamie Bishop has offered her coaching services to potentially lead a team this year. Her team is dependent upon the age category and number of athletes.

13U born in 1998
14U born in 1997
15 U born in 1996
16U born in 1995
17U born in 1994
18U born in 1993*

*athletes in grade 12 born in 1992 may apply for exemption, maximum 2/team


Tryout dates will be posted in the near future. We look forward to seeing you.

EAVC Camp was a huge hit!



I would like to extend a greatly appreciated thank you to the Kings University College Women's Volleyball team for providing excellent leadership at this years camp. Eagles head coach, Grace Scott, brought six varsity athletes, including Provost Public School's Alumni Alyssa Downing, to share their expertise and passion for the game of volleyball with our local athletes. From ages 10 to 17, all athletes walked away with new insight, fun memories and an excitement for the seasons to come.
