The 2010
High Performance Championships will be held in eastern Tennessee.
The Arizona Region will not be fielding any teams this year as the
cost for the training and travel is prohibitive for our program.
However the HP Championships return to Tucson for 2011 and you can
bet the Arizona Region will have a presence.
Registration for the
2010 tryout sessions are underway. Click
here to sign up online. The cost is $65 for a pre-registered
USAV member. There is an additional cost of $5 if not a USAV member.
Walk up registration is $100.
