Who can try out, and what skill level is needed?
Skyline club teams are competitive, and players earn their spots at tryouts. For 2027, tryouts are open to U13/U14, U15 and U16/U17 girls and U16 boys. We do not run a beginner club team. Newer players can start with our Summer Day Camps, a fun first step into volleyball.
2027 tryout divisionsPrograms and camps
When are the 2027 Calgary tryouts, and how are players chosen?
Tryouts take place on Sunday, November 29, Saturday, December 5 and Sunday, December 6, and players attend all three sessions for their division. Coaches rate everyone with the same system: athleticism, technical skill, movement, game awareness, competitive habits and coachability.
Tryout times, venues and registration
Does my child need a Volleyball Alberta membership?
Yes. Before the first session, register your athlete with Volleyball Alberta and pick the 2027 Youth Development Player – Tryout membership. Players without it cannot step on the court. If your child earns a spot on a team, we will explain how to upgrade to a Competitive Player membership.

What happens if my child is not picked?
Skyline camps are a good way to keep improving before the next tryouts. Families see the team placement in their family account, and tryouts do not include a written assessment.
What does club volleyball cost in Calgary?
Tryouts cost $50 for all three sessions. Season fees depend on the team and are announced to athletes once they are selected. They include coaching, gym time, uniforms and equipment, tournament entries and administration, and you can pay in instalments.
What team fees cover
How often do teams practise, and is there travel?
All teams practise three times a week. U13/U14 and U15 girls practise for 2 hours, and U16/U17 girls and U16 boys for 2 to 3 hours. All practices are in Calgary-area gyms, and schedules are set after teams are picked. Travel depends on each team’s tournaments, so ask us about your child’s team.
What does Skyline do to keep athletes safe?
Every coach and staff member meets the screening and certification rules set by Volleyball Canada and Volleyball Alberta. Every team follows Safe Sport rules, including the Rule of Two, so an athlete is never alone with a single adult. Contact us anytime about supervision or to share a concern.

Can I get a refund, and is help with fees available?
Tryout fees cannot be refunded. Season fees also become non-refundable once your athlete commits to a team, although unpaid instalments are cancelled if an injury ends the season. Families who need financial help can apply to the Athlete Access Fund.
