Information & Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Storm Volleyball was started in the fall of 1998.  We are members of Volleyball Canada, OntarioVolleyball, OVA Region 5 Volleyball, Sport Aurora and we are a Character Community Organization.

We have competitive programs for Male & Female athletes from the ages of 11 to 18 and participation type programs for younger athletes in the 9 to 16 age groups.

Answers to FAQ's:

  1. "Club" is the term used for "Competitive Volleyball" instead of the term "Rep" used in other sports.  They both mean the same thing.
  2. Tryouts for the Competitive programs start the first week back to school in September.  Days, Times and locations will be posted in August under the "Calendar" section of the website.
  3. Age Divisions are based on Year of Birth.  To be eligible to play in a particular age division you must be turning that age or younger during the year of the Ontario Championships.  For example... if you want to play in the 2010 16U Ontario Championships, you must turn no more than 16 during the 2010 Calendar year.  If you turned 16 at any time in 2009 you are not eligible for 16U, the youngest age division you can play in would be 17U.
  4. The entry level Age Division for Competitive is 13U which is grade 7 and younger and the oldest Age Division we run is 18U which is grade 12.  For more info about our Competitive programs select the "Indoor" menu
  5. Ontario Volleyball runs the following Age Divisions in both genders: 13U, 14U, 15U, 16U, 17U, 18U & 21U.
  6. Competitive athletes practice twice per week for about 2 hours.  Younger athletes usually practice from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM and the older athletes from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM.  Sometimes practices get scheduled for weekends in certain circumstances.
  7. Game play is tournament format only and consists of about one tournament a month unless a particularly good team plays up an Age Division as well.
  8. The Club season runs from Sept. to May with no activity during Christmas Break or March Break.  Exhibition Tournaments start in October, Competitive tournaments in Nov. or Dec. and conclude with Ontario Championships in April and the possibility of Nationals in May.
  9. The Storm League programs start with an emphasis on technical skill development and practice drills with a gradual shift throughout the program towards maximum game play.  For more info about our Storm League programs select the "Indoor" menu.
  10. Beach Volleyball programs are split into "Elite" for the 15 to 18 year old athletes and "Prospects" for the 10 to 15 year old athletes who are just learning the Beach game.  For more info on Beach Volleyball select the "Beach" menu.
