FAQs

What is the practice schedule for our team?

The practice schedule is pending approval from the School Districts for gym availability in late December. We anticipate 1-2 weekday practices and 1 weekend session, though this is not guaranteed.  All teams will be notified once the finalized schedule is confirmed.

When are the tournaments? For information regarding upcoming tournaments, please see above link 2026 Volleyball Alberta Indoor Tournament Dates.
How are teams designated? The team designations are as follows: Blue Team, White Team, and Green Team (if applicable). For more details, please refer to the club handbook.
When do we find out about team placement?

Team invitations are being staggered as we fill the roster, and invitations will be sent out mid December. Please note that each invitation comes with a 24-hour window to respond. In some cases, the clock may be reset due to lack of response or refusal of an invitation. We appreciate your patience during this process.

What does a Red Shirt player mean?

A red shirt player is  someone who has the opportunity to train with the team, develop their abilities, and stay engaged in the sport, even if they don’t compete in tournaments. Tournaments are certainly an exciting part of volleyball, but they’re just one component of overall athlete development. At EKVC, we emphasize that practice makes progress—consistent, focused practice is where athletes refine their skills, build confidence, and grow their potential for future opportunities.
