TRYOUT MEMBERSHIP (new for 2020-2021 season)
New for this season, the region will allow an athlete to  purchase a TRYOUT MEMBERSHIP that only cost $10 and is good until November 29, 2020. If the player decides to participate for a club  they will need to register for a regular membership to be posted to a team roster--and the $10 tryout membership fee will go towards the price of the regular season membership which is $52.

REGULAR SEASON MEMBERSHIP

New membership and club selection process

When a membership is purchased, you will NOT HAVE the option of associating yourself with a club. This is different than past seasons. 

When a volleyball club invites members to join and play for their Club, members may receive two emails.  If you are not already in the club's directory the first email is an invitation to join a Club's directory, and the second is an official USA Volleyball club association assignment request.

HOW TO ACCEPT AN INVITATION TO JOIN A CLUB'S DIRECTORY:    

(This is not accepting team assignment.  Only providing information for the club's directory so they can communicate with you.)

  1. Confirm you, the Parent/Guardian, have a SportsEngine Account. 

  2. A Club will send your player an invitation to join their club to your (parent/guardian) email.

HOW TO ACCEPT AN OFFICIAL USAV ASSOCIATION CLUB ASSIGNMENT

If a club wants a player to play for their Club, they will receive a second message. 

Important Note: Players can only accept an assignment from ONE club.

If a player receives multiple offers, do not click "Accept Assignment" unless it is the club they wish to play for. Whichever club you click "Accept Assignment" for, you will officially become part of that club.

DELTA REGION REFUND POLICY

As a rule, the Delta Region will not refund membership purchases. Special cases of hardship and injury prior to using a full membership will be examined on a case-by-case basis. If a refund is approved, credit card service fees will be applied. Any membership refunds will be pro rated based on the length of utilization. 

REFUNDS WILL NOT BE ISSUED, EITHER IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DUE TO THE COVID-19 SEASON CANCELLATION.

It is recommended that athletes purchase the Tryout Membership while participating in club tryouts. If you are new to Junior Volleyball or you are not sure you want to play this season, the Delta Region now offers a $10 tryout fee which is cost-effective. If you are chosen for a team the $10 will be taken off the total cost of a ‘Regular Junior Membership’.

delta region PLAYER TRANSFER POLICY

 

Once a player commits to the club, the club will then be able to put that player on the roster of a team. The player is then officially committed to that club. Any financial commitments made to a club are between the individual and the club (not the Delta Region) ~ Clubs are private enterprises.

Once he/she accept's a Club's Invitation that player is committed to a club for the entire USA Volleyball season which concludes at the end of the Junior National Championships in July. 

NOTE:  Only a change in geographical location of the family due to a change in job, military, scholastic or inner-collegiate status may receive special consideration. Application for a waiver to the Transfer Policy must be made by the parent of the player to the Delta Region Commissioner using the same said form below. 

What if the team has disbanded and no longer intends to participate? A player can be reassigned to a different club in the Delta Region if the team the player is currently affiliated with has disbanded and no longer intends to participate in any USA Volleyball sanctioned event, whether in or outside the Delta Region. This must be confirmed by the Club Director before any contact can be made with the player. Players from a disbanded team may request a transfer using the same said form below. A disbanded team may withhold such authorization if the player(s) is/are not in good standing with the club. Any financial commitments to a club are between the individual and the club~ Clubs are private enterprises.

If a player on a disbanded team transfers without filing the proper written authorizations, then the player and the new team/club may be sanctioned.
