What is the time commitment to be an athlete on an OVC Eagles club team?
Typically teams practice 2-3 times per week from December to May. The OVC season schedule is tournament based and will be set by the team at the beginning of the season. Typically teams will compete in 6-8 tournaments on and off the Island. Most teams end their season with the Provincials on the lower Mainland.
How much does the club season cost?
OVC is a non-profit organization and in no way profit off your fees. Our Directors and coaches are volunteers who dedicate countless hours to the athletes. Depending on how many tournaments teams decide to attend will determine the cost.

No, OVC welcomes athletes from all neighboring communities such as Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Comox Valley to come and tryout for our Club teams.
