Why We’re Not Holding Tryouts This Season

This season, all of our London Sharks competitive teams are already full — and we couldn’t be more excited about it!

There are two big reasons why:

1. Our players love being Sharks. Over 82% of last year’s athletes have re-signed for another season. That tells us that our players and families value the experience, environment, and growth they find here.
2. Our developmental programs are thriving. More than 75% of our competitive athletes come through our own programs, which means we’re able to grow and prepare our players from the ground up. This makes us self-sustainable as a club, and we never need to recruit players away from other programs.

We’re very proud of this model because it shows that our focus on development is working. At the Sharks, our priority has always been to create a family-oriented, fun, and safe space where athletes can fall in love with the game, push themselves competitively, and enjoy volleyball for many years to come at the highest level possible.

We also believe in supporting every athlete who commits to our program. That means we don’t cut players just because their progress isn’t happening overnight. If a player is willing to put in the time and effort, it’s our coaches’ responsibility to guide, encourage, and help them grow so they can fully enjoy their spot on the team.

That’s the Sharks way — building players, building people, and building a community where everyone belongs.
