About Stars Tryouts
Stars runs 1-3 tryouts per age group depending on registration numbers/age, players should plan to attend all tryouts for their age group; if there is any conflict please let us know as soon as possible. Our team of coaches will evaluate players based on skills, ability to work in a team, effort and attitude. Team decisions will be made 1-3 days after the last tryout; selected players will be called or emailed by the head coach.
Please make sure you are aware of the Stars Philosophy, Player Code of Conduct, Parent Expectations, Volleyball BC’s tentative schedule, and club fees before tryouts.
About the Signing Process
Stars made the design to not offer any presigned spots this season, every spot on our teams will be up for grabs at tryouts. The head coach may start making offers as early as the first tryout and as late as 5 days after the last tryout. Players will be contacted by phone or email only if they are being offered a spot on the team.
Any club (Stars, BCO, Power West, etc) can make an offer before the Signing Date for that age group, however players do not need to respond until 6:00pm PST on the Signing Date, when the offer expires. Players cannot be pressured to accept an offer. Offers made after 6:00pm on the Signing Date cannot be rescinded for a minimum of 24 hours.
Players are considered to have accepted an offer upon signing the VBC Club Athlete Offer Letter or by paying a portion of their club fees.
