Details: When attending on court sessions at Lycee Claudel, please enter the property through the side gate and look for entrance with Fusion Banner around back.  When attending your scheduled Fitness Evaluation, athletes will enter the facility through their front entrance.  PLEASE NOTE that only athletes who have registered AND received confirmation from the club should attend the below listed days/times.  In some cases athletes will need to be notified of what group they should arrive with for their on court assessments.

During on court assessments, athletes will be engaged in a series of drills that help demonstrate various skills around general athleticism and volleyball specific skills.  Volleyball is a late development sport and as such we recognize that not all athletes come with the same level of previous experience.  For this reason we continue to place significant value in the objective assessments conducted by our partners at Sport Science Performance Centre.  The fitness assessments helps demonstrate key attributes often found in developing volleyball athletes.  It is not mandatory for athletes to attend all sessions, but we encourage athletes to attend as many on court sessions as they can and to attend their fitness assessment.  Coaches will take into account all on court assessments and the fitness assessment when making their selections.

The selection process follows the Tryout policy of the Ontario Volleyball Association.  As such, coaches are only permitted to make an offer via email no sooner than the offer date assigned to their age group.  Although offers can be provided as early as the date listed, It is important to note that not all athletes will accept an offer and as such coaches will continue to present offers in the subsequent days until all roster spots are full.

When numbers of athletes allow, we would like to run 2 and 3 teams within an age group but are often in need of more parent volunteer coaches.  Should you have previous volleyball and/or coaching experience and interested in joining the great group of Fusion volunteer coaches, please contact our club technical director at headcoach@ottawafusion.ca
