2026-2027 Competitive Teams
Tryout Registration - COMING SOON!
How to Prepare?
Athletes must be registered with London Volleyball Club (signed up and paid the tryout fee) and with the Ontario Volleyball Association (created or activated an MRS account as a Tryout Player) to be allowed into the Fitness Facility or On-Court Tryout Gym. The MRS account cannot be updated until September 2026 to be eligible for the current competitive season.
All athletes must attend Athletic Measurements, even resigned and early committed athletes. There is a brief Open Slot available to athletes should their age/gender cohort time be problematic.
Athletes without athletic measurement data will not be allowed entry to any gym for On-Court Tryouts.
Athletes will be given a London Volleyball Club Tryout Shirt, included with their fee. This shirt is personalized with your name to help coaches and evaluators find you and get to know you.
You must wear this Tryout Shirt for all Tryout sessions. Athletes wearing gear representing other clubs, shirt or otherwise, to an Athletic Measurement or On-Court Tryout session will be asked to leave.
What to Expect?
Athletes should arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of session to prepare themselves (gear on, water bottle filled, etc.).
Athletic Measurements sound scary, but don’t fret, this is a fun way to show off your athleticism. Be ready to stand tall and long for some height and length measurements, do some quick feet drills, and perform some big jumps!
On-Court Tryouts will have a lot of experts on-site, including Coach Developer, Technical Directors, Assistant Technical Directors, Head Coaches, Assistant and Development Coaches, and trained Evaluators. All these folks will be inputting data into a specialized software system to help us better understand the pathway for each and every athlete. We have made big changes to help us being as objective as possible when making these big decisions for athletes and families.
There are two types of On-Court Tryout Sessions: Skill Assessments (the first two sessions) and Competition Assessments (the third session onward). All athletes are expected to attend both Skill Assessment sessions, but all Competition Assessment sessions will be invite-only.
What Happens After?
All athletes will receive communication about the outcome of the Tryout Phase. This can include: a competitive team offer, a recommendation letter for developmental programming, statistical and/or ranking information about their assessments, and more.
Offers for competitive teams are valid beginning September 8th, 2026, and expire at midnight (11:59pm) on varying dates based on different ages:
- 4v4, 6v6 offers expire September 15th
- 18U, 16U, TLS offers expire September 15th
- 17U, 15U offers expire September 16th.
It can take some time for us to sort through hundreds of athletes seeking spots on mulitple types of team. Try not to worry, and when something feels really weird, you can always reach out (info@lvcfire.com)!
Remember, this outcome does not define your worth as an athlete, a volleyball player, or a person. Find your pathway, it’s out there!
If an athlete is offered a spot on a London Fire competitive team, they can be credited for any developmental programming registration fees if they choose not to participate in both.
