Open Gyms: August 2025
Open gyms are club facilitated court times that are scheduled to allow athletes to get touches on the ball leading into tryouts. It’s a good way to get back into the gym, meet new potential teammates, meet potential coaches, maybe learn something new, have some fun and get a feel for the environment before tryouts. These are optional gym times, and are not used as evaluation sessions.

The OVA tryout window for the 2025-2026 season opens September 5, 2025. Check the website and social media for the tryout schedule and registration information (expected to be released in August). Specific times, dates and locations will depend on the age group. Anticipate 2-4 time slots between the 5th and 20th of September.

Please note:
Athletes are encouraged to tryout in their own age group. Players can choose to also try out for the age group above theirs. For example; an athlete born in 2010 can choose to try out for the 16u and 17u teams. SVC has recently enacted a policy that an underage player must be chosen for the first team to remain in the older age group. Any underage players not chosen for the first team will return to tryout for their own age group.
Houseleague
Typically the SVC houseleague registration opens after tryouts are completed. Watch the website and social media for more details.
