PHASE 1: PERSONALITY & COMMITMENT EVALUATION - PART 1/2

This is the first step in CVC’s 2026 selection process - and the gateway to a high-performance environment that demands more, inspired by and built on world-class standards. At CVC, we want more than skill or talent. We want athletes who live and breathe our values, embrace challenge and honest feedback, and thrive in a culture built on discipline, accountability, and relentless improvement.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Wearing CVC colours means embracing a culture that is committed fully to the pursuit of excellence. It means embracing excellence as the minimum standard. It’s not about being good sometimes - it’s about consistency, discipline, and showing up every day, for yourself and for your teammates, with the same intensity on the days you feel like it and the days you don’t.

Our best athletes are not just skilled players. They are students of the game, competitors with an unshakable passion who embrace hard work, and leaders who hold themselves accountable even when no one is watching.

This evaluation helps us understand more than just how you play. It shows us how you think, how you respond to challenges, how you lead under pressure, and whether you can thrive in a culture of honesty, feedback, and constant improvement.

It gives us a deeper look and understanding into who you are beyond skill – the teammate, the competitor, and the person behind the jersey.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We want athletes who live the DNA of a CVC Player: A Relentless Pursuer of Excellence.

At CVC, progress belongs to those who demand the most from themselves - and hold themselves accountable to that standard. Every. Single. Day.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

This is an express registration form.

Please allow 20 minutes in a quiet environment to complete both Part 1 & Part 2 of this evaluation in one sitting, including the linked personality test.

Be open, honest and authentic in your responses. There are no “right” or “wrong” answers.

Completing this evaluation is mandatory to progress to Phase 2 (Fitness Evaluation) - View the Fitness Requirements here.

All responses will be reviewed, and successful athletes will be notified within 1–7 days of submissions closing.

OUR STANDARD. YOUR STANDARD. 

Representing CVC is not for everyone.

If you want a club that challenges you, invests in you, and demands the best version of you, this is where your journey begins.

CVC PROTOCOL: POSITIONAL ASSIGNMENT & SQUAD DYNAMICS

Creadaptic Volleyball Club (CVC) operates on a Merit-First basis. Selection is a continuous assessment of team balance, tactical evolution, and individual performance.

No Guaranteed Placement: While athlete preference is considered during the evaluation, final positional assignment is at the sole discretion of the CVC Selections Team. No athlete is guaranteed a specific position or squad level.

Operational Adaptability: Contingent upon an initial period of working with the athlete and improving their performance via a formal Performance Improvement Plan (PIP), CVC reserves the right to move athletes between squads or adjust divisions at any time throughout the season. These decisions are driven by behavioural expectations, player development, and our ongoing pursuit of competitive excellence.

The Commitment: You acknowledge that the interests of the team supersede individual preference. You agree to accept coaching assessments as final and to demonstrate the adaptability required of a high-performance athlete.

STATUS: By proceeding, you confirm your understanding and acceptance of these operational principles.

CVC PROTOCOL: OPERATIONAL READINESS & AVAILABILITY

Attendance is the baseline of high performance.

At CVC, we do not "expect" commitment; we require it.

The Standard: Upon selection, athletes enter a binding commitment to attend 100% of training sessions and competitive fixtures. Absence is only permitted for critical emergencies or pre-approved reasons.

Weekly Training Load:

Technical/Tactical: 2 x 120-minute sessions.

Mobility & Conditioning: 1 x 60-minute session (led by Fitness Cartel).

Advanced Recovery Protocol (TH7 Body Labs): To survive the weekly high-intensity technical blocks, physical recovery must be as disciplined as your on-court training. CVC provides access to advanced recovery infrastructure at TH7 Body Labs.

The Benefit: CVC athletes receive a 15% discount across the entire TH7 service suite.

Junior (Recommended Timing - Saturday): Highly recommended after the Tuesday–Friday high-intensity block to reset the central nervous system and repair tissue.

Adult (Recommended Timing - Saturday): Highly recommended as a "Pre-Activation" protocol to ensure peak physical readiness for Sunday competitive fixtures.

While Saturday is strategically optimal, athletes can utilise their 15% discount at TH7 facilities at any time throughout the week for supplemental recovery.

Operational Flexibility: Schedules, although unlikely, may change throughout the season. CVC reserves the right to adjust schedules or competition times at short notice to meet strategic needs. We will provide notice in advance of any changes.

Match Day Schedules:

• Junior Squads: Friday evenings.
• Adult Squads: Sundays (Full-day availability required).

STATUS: By proceeding, you affirm that you possess the discipline and schedule control required to fulfill these operational duties.

Volleyball can be inherently dangerous. Serious accidents can and often do happen which may result in me being injured or even killed.
