2024 Summer Camp Preparation

As families prepare for the new spring season and the chance to put away the snow gear for the season, Waterloo Tigers is preparing for their Summer Camps.

In our Summer Camps, athletes will be trained in all the basics of volleyball.  There will be drills and lots of play time.  Coaches are from Tigers club teams and are assisted by current senior Tigers athletes and former Tigers players.  The camps will teach everyone how to play volleyball or improve their skills in a fun and very positive environment.

2023-2024 SELECTS Tryouts

SELECTS Program

We are looking for young players to participate in our TIGERS Selects program. We will form ‘Selects’ teams from 12u to 16/17u to learn the skills of volleyball and participate against similar teams from other nearby clubs in a fun and friendly environment. This would be an inexpensive non-OVA form of play in a mini-tournament and exhibition format. This gives players an opportunity to be introduced to volleyball and play against similar age and skill-level opponents with emphasis on development and self confidence.

Costs are kept as low as possible to encourage participation. Teams practice 1-2 times per week and Tigers uniforms will be included. The SELECTS program is an option for athletes competing in other sports to be introduced to team volleyball and try it out without having to make the greater financial and time commitments of rep OVA volleyball.

Players from our regular VDP may be asked to participate in the TIGERS Selects program. The selects players are training to compete, which is mid-way between VDP and REP.

Volleyball Development Program Stages
1) Tigers VDP – Learning to play
2) Tigers Selects – Training to compete
3) Tigers Rep – Playing to compete (OVA)
