What are club tournaments?
Club tournaments are where teams from different areas get together and play the best out of 3 games to 25 in pool play. The top teams advance to finals. There is a minimum of 3 matches played per tourney and up to 9 matches can be played in one day. Some tournaments award medals/plaques for the top finshes while others just give you bragging rights. Tournaments are held in different areas across the Central Indiana region and teams will participate in at least one out of town (overnight) tournament in Louisville, KY in April. Our region is the USAV Hoosier Region.
Where are the tournaments held?
The tournaments that we expect to play in this season will be held at Team Indiana (N. Shadeland Ave), IVA/Sports of All Sorts (Sunnyside & Pendleton Pike), Circle City (Plainfield) and Munciana (Muncie). We will play in some out of town tournaments but will make the decision after teams are formed. Please expect the season to run through June.
How many events do the teams play in?
The 11/12 Club teams will play in 5-8 tournaments that are usually held on Saturdays; however, there will be some Sunday tournaments. Our 13/14's teams will play in as many as 11 depending on the team. It is important to stay flexible and realize our playing season can go from January to June. Changes in the tournament schedules are always discussed with the team before final selections are made and it is not uncommon to have changes made the week of the tournament by the hosting site. The younger teams may play 2 tournaments a month in February, March and April with the a final tournament held the first weekend in May. There are opportunities to continue play through July if teams qualify to attend the USAV Nationals, or the AAU Junior National Championships which are held in June and July. That decision will be made if qualifications are met and through approval by the board, coach and parents. Additional fees WILL apply.
How long do tournaments last?
Players need to plan on being at the tournaments from 8am to 8pm.
Even though most tournaments begin play at 9am and finish by 6 pm, there are always exceptions!!! If we have an 8am match, players will arrive by 7am. That means you may have to be up by 6am.
