High Performance (HP)
- Competitive (Comp) (includes Selects and Pre-HP)
During the September tryouts, a posse of Maverick coaches will assess each player for their suitability to play at either the "High Performance" or "Competitive" or "Selects" or "Pre-HP" levels. We encourage remaining athletes to sign up for our Recreational Youth or Teen Leagues (which also have a training component but no out-of-town travel).

TOURNAMENT SEASON
The basic season starts in late-September/October and ends in April/May. Once teams are formed, teams start to practice. Most competitive teams play up to 4 OVA tournaments (1 day event) plus Provincial and/or Nationals (2-3 day events). HP teams play a few more tournaments (4-5 more), depending on the seasonal budget of each team (which is drafted by the coach following consultation with the parents). Athletes in the Selects program train regularly but final teams are not chosen until the OVA closing deadline in January.
The Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) has rules by which some players may “play up” or “play down” depending on many factors (including date of birth). Any athlete who feels such a choice would be to their benefit, should alert us during tryout check-in.
Practices, tournaments, fees, vary by team, and by program level. Click the link for your specific level for more detail. Teams typically have two-to three 2-hour practices each week. Younger teams, 13U to 16U, usually practice between 6-9pm, while the older groups typically practice from 8-10pm on weeknights. Some teams practice on Sundays. (Practice days and locations will be announced during tryouts.)
OTHER OPTIONS
We encourage remaining athletes to sign up for our Recreational Youth or Teen Leagues (which also have a training component but no out-of-town travel).

Les programmes de compétition Maverick sont conçus pour les athlètes qui souhaitent pratiquer le sport à un haut niveau entre 12U et 18U (voir les divisions d'âges ci-dessous).

CAMPS DE SÉLECTION COMPÉTITIF
La sélection pour les équipes compétitives et de haute performance aura lieu en septembre. Vérifiez l'horaire pour de plus amples renseignements. Si vous êtes dans l’impossibilité d’assister aux camps de sélection, communiquez avec nous et nous tenterons de céduler une session d'évaluation à l'avance.
LES SESSIONS D'ENTRAÎNEMENT
La saison commence en septembre et se poursuit jusqu'au championnat provincial au mois de mai. Les équipes les plus jeunes (13U-16U) s'entraineront plus tôt (18h00 – 20h00) durant la semaine tandis que les plus âgés s'entraineront plus tard de 20h00 – 22h00. Il se peut qu’une des sessions aura lieu le dimanche pendant la journée. L'horaire et l'attribution des gymnases pour les entraînements seront finalisés vers la mi-septembre, durant les camps de selection.
LES TOURNOIS
Chaque équipe participe en moyenne à 4 tournois OVA d'une journée durant l'année, y compris le championnat provincial (une compétition de deux jours). Les équipes ont également l'option de jouer dans d'autres tournois en Ontario et au Québec. Les équipes sont encouragés à participer au championnat de l'Est du Canada ou au Championnat National. Dans la plupart des cas, les équipes sont obligées de voyager dans l'ensemble de la province afin de se rendre aux diverses compétitions. Voici l'horaire des tournois OVA (en anglais seulement). NB le lieu de chaque tournoi est généralement annoncé 2 à 3 semaines avant chaque événement.
LES ENTRAÎNEURS
Chaque joueur/joueuse dans le programme compétitif reçoit gratuitement deux gilets d'entraînement, une paire de shorts, deux gilets de joute, des genouillères, un petit sac à soulier ainsi que des bas. Les joueurs peuvent acheter de l'équipement et des vêtements supplémentaire tout au long de la saison.
LE COÛT
L'information sur les frais d'inscription sera disponible aussitôt que le nombre d’équipes est établi.
Implication pour les athlètes des équipes compétitives.
Les athlètes qui font partie des équipes compétitives sont invités à s'impliquer dans les activités Jeunes-O-Volley offerts par Maverick Volley-ball. Ces athlètes joueront le rôle d'entraîneurs-assistants et/ou d'arbitres. Ils seront compensés financièrement pour leur travail ou les heures de bénévolat pourront être tabulés pour le programme de 40 heures d'implication communautaire du ministère de l'éducation.
