WHAT IF THERE IS A CONFLICT WITH MULTIPLE CLUB TRYOUTS?

Most clubs will be sending offers through emails after tryouts. Our coaches, however, will make the majority of our offers during tryouts. For this reason, we highly recommend you come to FVBC tryouts if you have serious interest in our teams or view FVBC as your preferred club.  

CAN I TRYOUT FOR A DIFFERENT OR MULTIPLE AGE GROUPS?

For those players who want to try to play up an age level, the club requires that you have to make the top 6 players (the starting lineup) of that age level.  Trying out for both age levels is necessary to be considered for the higher age playing group.  You do not have to pay for 2 tryout fees to try for an additional age group.

SHOULD I ARRIVE EARLY?

All players will need to be at the facility 30 minutes before the actual tryout time to go through the registration process and paperwork.  

You will not be allowed to tryout if the required paperwork is not in order (which includes an updated CHRVA registration).

NOTE:  Parents will be allowed into the facility during tryouts.  We also ask that you remain in the lobby areas during the tryout so we can utilize as much of the courts as possible. 

WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO TRYOUTS (besides paperwork)?

You should bring the following AND ONLY THE FOLLOWING to tryouts:

1.  Water bottle (make sure it is marked with your name)
2.   Knee Pads
3.   Good athletic shoes
4.   Comfortable Clothes
5.   A great attitude!!

WILL I KNOW RIGHT AFTER THE TRYOUT PERIOD WHETHER I HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR A TEAM?  **NEW Rule from CHRVA**

During the Tryout session players may receive an immediate offer or a waitlist offer

•            If you receive an immediate offer, you have until that following TUESDAY by 10pm to make your decision. If you do not respond within that time period, we will assume that you are declining the offer and will then offer your position to the next player on the waitlist.

•            If you are given an Offer and you decide to decline it, please advise us ASAP so your spot can be offered to another player who is interested.

•            If you receive a Waitlist offer, you will be contacted in a few days with either an offer to join a team or to let you know that the team rosters are full.  Coaches will stay in touch with players until all positions have been filled. 

•          If you received a waitlist offer, it does not mean you are guaranteed a spot or that a spot will not open up.  Please be patient as coaches assemble their teams.  Also, if you choose to join another club, please let the us know so we can take you off the list (and avoid an awkward conversation).

WILL THERE BE ANY SUPPLEMENTAL TRYOUTS?

Supplemental tryouts might be held at the discretion of the coaches and depend on how well they fill their rosters. Please check our website and social media after your tryout date to see if we schedule additional times.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO ACCEPT AN OFFER?

You will need to email the coach back and accept in writing.  In order to secure your roster spot, a deposit of 25% of the total dues must be paid.  The remaining balance will be paid over a 3-month period beginning in December (November for the Boys teams).  The Director will send a financial contract to you and your family to sign.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I ACCEPT THE OFFER?

Once you accept our offer to play for FVBC, you may not pursue an offer from a different club or team. Your coach will contact you about training, the club/team meeting in November to sign your official contract, meet with your teammates, order uniforms. etc.   Declining an offer AFTER accepting may subject you to disqualification of playing for a team governed by USAV.
