2025 COMPETITIVE GIRLS DEVELOPMENT TEAMS
We are excited to announce that we are adding a 16U age group in 2025!
This year we will have six teams at 13U,14U and 15U and four teams at 16U. Teams will practice once a week. Practice locations are Osborne Center UBC, Vancouver Christian School, Ecole Anne Hebert, and possibly Magee Secondary. Each team will have 10-12 practices and 4-5 playdays. At least 70% of participants at our development team tryouts will make a team! Compared that to about 10% at other ‘club’ tryouts making a team. We started this program to keep more girls playing this great sport and the response has been overwhelming! Even those not selected to a team will have a chance to register for one of our winter weekly programs.
13U/14U/15U Tryout Dates (season runs early January – mid April):
Sunday Dec 1 at Magee Secondary School 6360 Maple St, Vancouver REGISTER

2025 Fees and Dates:
The fee for the 2025 season will be $775.00 including GST and includes all local tournaments, a Smash uniform to use for the season, and a practice/warmup shirt to keep. Tryout fees will be refunded if your daughter is selected for a Thunder or Apex team before her Smash tryout session and then chooses not to attend.

15U: Birth Months Sept 2009- December 2010

2025 Selections:
For 2025, all players returning from 2024 teams will be offered a returning player spot but must register for a tryout session.
Please only register for one tryout. It doesn’t matter which location your child tries out at, and we will ask for your friend requests, practice time, and location preferences. We will equally select players from both tryouts. Please register your child for their preferred age group. On the tryout registration form you will have the opportunity to select alternate age groups. (ex: Child has a birthday October 2011 and could play for either U13 or U14. Child is skilled/experienced player and would like to play with older age group)
