GAME DAY ATTENDANCE: PLEASE!!! Let the Arizona Region Office know if you will not be at the tournament no later than Thursday before noon of the tournament week. Late withdrawals and "No-Show" teams may be assessed a fine which is payable prior to the next tournament. Teams that do not show up for tournaments create a big scheduling problem at the site location.
Attendance at the Coaches Meeting is mandatory for each team coach even if the team is off or reffing the first match of the pool. The Coaches Meetings are held 1/2 hour prior to the first match start of the wave.
Check in is required PRIOR TO the Coaches meetings. At check in: a coach must provide a current season AES or SportsEngine roster with verified USAV #s on it, a photo id (please don't expect every site director to know who you are) and a copy of the medical release forms for each player on the roster. A roster that does not have verified USAV #s is not a valid roster; a roster that is from another organization event is not a valid roster; a roster without all the appropriate players and coaches is not a valid roster.
Teams that are not checked in will be considered late and may be assessed an 8 point penalty on their first match OR they may be formatted out of the tournament to allow for an on-time start of the wave. It is important for the flow of the tournament for all teams to be checked in and ready to play the first match of the wave.
Teams traveling to out-of-state qualifiers: A coach or other rostered and certified adult is required to ref as an R2 for every match when assigned as the "work team" at National Qualifier tournaments. It is strongly recommended, (although not required), that a rostered adult be the R2 at least one match at every AZ Region tournament to remain proficient for qualifiers.
Keep your coffee, food and coolers outside.
NO COOKING OF ANY KIND This includes crock pots, hotplates, Sterno heated chafing dishes, barbeques, and anything which produces heat, etc., on the premises
Pick up all the trash around your bench area and your "camp" area
NO ALCOHOL on site
Please leave your televisions at home.
PACK IT IN - PACK IT OUT!
Due to the amount of trash accumulated and left at tournament locations, the AZ Region has enacted a pack it in/pack it out policy.
Whatever is brought to a tournament should be packed up and taken home to recycle, reuse, or dispose of at their own residence.
Site directors are spending more and more time cleaning up, facilities are spending more money for additional trash pickup following our events. This policy will help to reduce waste and trash at AZ Region events. In this day and age of "green", let's all do our part!
Food and beverages in the gym policy enforcement.
Any participant and/or spectator found with food/beverages (except for water in closed containers) in the gym will incur a 13 point penalty for their team in their next match.
A report will be filed with the AZ Region Office.
Further violations by the same team will result in a $200 fine for each occurrence. The fine must be paid before the team will be allowed to continue participating.
Please pack up your trash and take it home for disposal.
Please recycle your plastic water bottles and remember your water bottles.
City police departments enforce parking restrictions at many of the playing sites.
Please park legally each day - especially on Mondays - as many businesses in the surrounding areas are open for business.
Q: What's the difference between Club, Championship, and Open divisions?
A: The Arizona Region offers three levels of volleyball for girls. The purpose is to provide volleyball opportunities for players at a variety of levels and ages.
The “Club” division is for athletes with little to no volleyball experience. It is for the 12 and under (12U) age groups as well as new/developmental athletes in the 13-16 and under (13U-16U) age groups. It is not expected that Club division teams will travel out of state. Since Club division is the only option for 12U teams, the higher level teams may travel to out of state tournaments. On tournament days, club level teams play in a morning pool or an afternoon pool. The Club teams play within their age groups only - 11s/12s, 13/14s, 15/16s. Club Division tournaments are scheduled on Saturdays. For the Region Championships, only the 11s and 12s will break into their own divisions for championship play. Ther 13s/14s and 15s/16s remain combined for the championships.
“Championship” is the AZ Region’s “mid-level” competitive division. Many Championship teams travel, but not all do. These teams want to challenge themselves to play at a higher level of play than the introductory club level. Championship division tourneys play in morning or afternoon pool waves. The Championship Division has blended ages - 13s-16s and 17s-18s. The 13s & 14s in Championship will play by the same rules as the 15s and older teams. Mostly this means that there is no second toss for service. Championship Division tournaments are scheduled on Saturdays. For the Region Championships, each specific age group will break out for their own championships event.
“Open” division is the highest level of club volleyball the Region. Open has fewer scheduled tournaments, by design, so the elite teams can travel to more National Qualifiers held out of state. Except for the Seeding Tournament and the Region Championships tournament, the Open teams will play 3 matches in pool play followed by a cross pool match in all day format. Open tournaments are played on Sundays. For the Region Championships, each specific age group will break out for their own championships event.
Follow the region on social media for tournament alerts as soon as they are released.
