2016 Volleyball Season
Welcome to U17 Stars Tryouts!
We are excited to celebrate our 10th Anniversary as the North Shore Stars Volleyball Club and looking forward to getting the season started. We encourage all players to commit to the practices and tournaments. We understand the competing priorities that busy 16-17 year olds have so would like to get a sense of who is available for various tournament dates, possible additional practices/clinics and exhibition matches. Club volleyball requires a significant commitment from players, coaches and parents and we want to make the season worthwhile. These are the dates we currently know of and will most likely register for most of them. Additional tournament dates may arise. Please complete pages 1 and 2 and bring to tryouts.

We actively seek sponsorship and ask that parents help out with fundraising for additional costs. Coaches are all volunteers and receive small honorariums. Sponsorship and fundraising are for the entire club, not for one team in particular and contribute to travelling costs and other team travel expenses. Travel costs for players are extra.
Your payment represents you/your child’s commitment to participate. Based on these commitments, our club budgets accordingly and confirms payments for registrations, reservations and other things that are not recoverable. If a player withdraws, fees will not be refunded.

Estimates are based on previous years, and current projections for hotel and travel costs. Estimates also depend on number of players going.
Additional costs for players include the usual gym equipment: shoes, waterbottles, gym bags, kneepads, ankle supports, etc. Players are responsible for these costs. We will be engaging URStore this year for additional gear.
Financial assistance is available through A4K or Kidsport. Applications may be made directly through these organizations provided you meet their criteria
