Many clubs use the term ELITE, here is what we can offer at Defensa for a definition:
- In 3 years, the team has been in EVERY Tier 1 Provincial Championship match
- 7 of 10 Athletes on Provincial team
- 3 of 10 signed to full scholarships (so far)
- 5 of 10 athletes within 2″ or above 10′ spike touch
U16 Tryouts
Cost to tryout will be $25.
The tryouts will be:
Wednesday September 1st at Tansley Woods from 7:9:30 pm

Wednesday September 8th at John Calvin Christian School from 6-8:15 pm
and Friday September 10th at John Calvin Christian School from 7:30-9:30pm.
Tryouts for the U16 team will be open to all athletes interested. This sheet must be signed by both the athlete and parents prior to trying out. (if you are having issues downloading, please email Rob for the form, this must be signed before entering gym) We will have a registration table from 6:30-6:50 at Tansley on the first night, warm up will go from 6:50-7:00 outside. Missing a tryout will not eliminate an athlete from making the team, but it will make it that much harder.

Welcome to DEFENSA
Defensa is here to develop skills and attitudes which will prepare the athlete for post secondary competition and beyond. It is great to win in the youth division but it is better to be prepared going into the CIS, NCAA and National teams. Defensa works to get the athletes noticed by scouts and each athlete understands that their goals are attainable with the right attitude. Defensa is team first, so selfish athletes need not apply!
