The Club Approval Application is mandatory for all clubs to complete annually prior to the start of club activities. On October 1st, the "Youth Club's Page" will be reset and updated with information provided during the Club Approval Application.

New for the 2024-25 season. Clubs located in the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) will only be permitted to offer teams for which they had a feeder team during the preceding year. VNS will provide each approcved HRM club with a specific list of teams they are eligible to offer for the upcoming season. The aim of this approach is to strengthen the club system by emphasizing the development of young players and providing more opportunities for them to engage in the sport.
 
HRM Club team offering requirements:

• No requirement for clubs offering teams at 13U and 14U age categories.
• To offer a 15U team, a club must have had a 13U or 14U team in that gender participate in the indoor NS Championships the prior season.
