DIVISION DESCRIPTIONS |
Division
|
Description |
Recreational |
This
division will feature teams that may have some
skilled players, but also many inexperienced players
and the team as a whole is just in it for the
fun. If several of the players are hard hitting
and quite competitive in nature then the team
should move up to a higher level. An average game
will feature some bumping, passing and hitting,
but the focus is often on just getting the ball
over the net rather than executing 3 hits. Hard
hitting is not allowed. Teams in this division
must have a “fun first” approach to
every game.
Note: Teams that register for Recreational but
have had good success in this level will likely
be moved up to a higher division before the season
starts.
|
| Intermediate |
This
division is for teams that are looking for more
challenge than the Recreational (starter) level.
Most players on the team have some experience
playing Volleyball and are solid in the fundamentals,
or a few players on the team are above average
and can help carry the play. An average game will
feature some good blocks and 3 hits on most plays,
but the hitting is not usually very hard and the
passes are not always crisp and accurate. Harder
hitting is allowed, but most teams do not have
organized attacks.
Note: Teams that register for Intermediate but
have had good past success with the SSC in this
level may be moved up to a higher division before
the season starts. |
| Intermediate
Plus |
This
division is for teams that have more experience
or past success than an average team in Intermediate
6’s. Intermediate Plus teams are looking
for a good challenge each night and don’t
want to play weaker teams that will result in
a blow out. All players on the team have experience
playing Volleyball and are solid in the fundamentals,
and 1-2 players on the team are quite skilled.
An average game will feature some good blocks,
fairly crisp passing, some organized attacks and
harder hitting. Games in this division look and
feel like decent volleyball, but Varsity or College
level players would be too good to play full force
at this level. |
Competitive |
This
division is for teams that consistently play at
a high level and would like to face strong competition
each week. Other leagues in the city will feature
more competitive teams, but this is SSC’s
highest level. Games in this division will be characterized
by the following:
- The majority of players are experienced and play
at least one position very effectively
- Harder hitting and solid blocking
- Good digs and crisp passing
- Female players are comfortable in a game with
hard hitting
- Organized attacks |

DIVISION NOTES |
(1)
SSC division offerings are based on the experience and
skill level of the teams - not on their competitive
behaviour. All SSC players are expected to play with
a ‘fun-first, winning second’ attitude regardless
of their division.
(2) The SSC may move your team up or down a division
based on past results or the quality of other teams
that have registered this season. Seeding for 2-3 weeks
is another option the Club uses to re-align teams into
the appropriate level after registering.
(3)
Because the SSC does not host try-outs, teams/individuals/groups
are expected to read the division descriptions and place
themselves in the most appropriate division. If players
are unsure of which division to register for, they are
welcome to contact the office anytime for advice. |
