35. FAQ
Does NWVBC conflict with other sports/activities (basketball, dance, etc.)?
Please list known/possible conflicts on your Tryout Information Sheet this will not disqualify a player in any way from joining our club
We try and keep most of our one day tournaments to a Sunday
Knowingly omitting conflicts is unethical AND detrimental to your daughter.
We believe Scholastic Sports come first if you are a multi sport athlete.
ONLY relevant conflict dates(Weekends / Wednesdays)
Do not give entire schedules of basketball, band,
dance, ACT/SATs, etc.

36. FAQ What team(s) can I try out for?
Athletes must attend the tryout of their age group (based on birth date)
Club Director and Evaluators will determine whether athletes should be offered a position in a higher age group
Athletes may be asked to attend a higher age group’s tryout for a 2nd tryout
Individual ability and team needs are both factors in placement decisions

37. FAQ
I know a player who wants to try out, but cannot afford it. What can she do?
Contact the Director to discuss payment plans- Payment plans are kept confidential between parent and club director.
Additional Team Fundraisers
Ask for donations/contributions
Due to WIAA amateur bylaws, clubs cannot offer scholarships or reduced fees.

38. FAQ Do I have to play club to play volleyball in college?
For the majority of colleges, the club season is their recruiting season. Your participation alone helps you be seen by college coaches and shows you are serious about the sport!
Ask the coach!
Most coaches see club as a necessary transition from the pace of high school play to the pace of college play

39. FAQ Will my conflicts hurt my chances of making a team?
No, please notify NWVBC of Conflicts
Volleyball is a team sport. You need to be committed to your team for the duration of the season, as your teammates are depending on you to be at all practices and tournaments. Please, take this into consideration before trying out for one of our teams.
