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.

Uniform Information

USAV requires that there be a 6" number on the front of a jersey and an 8" number on the back of the jersey.  There are other requirements that can be located in the USAV rule book or by going to the USAV website.

Carmel Dads’ Club is a non-profit organization and CLPVC is affiliated with the USAV, AVCA, and the Positive Coaching Alliance.  All of our fundraising dollars raised for CDC recreational program have been used to purchase equipment and administrative supplies needed to run the operation.  Therefore, CLPVC will have additional fees beyond the registration fees for use of the CDC/CHS facilities.

You will need to register online for your USAV membership. (Instructions to follow). Please make a copy of your membership card for yourself as well as your coach.  These cards must be available for verification at practices and events.

To sign up for your USAV membership you will need to make an account with the online membership that Hoosier Region is using.  This account will also give you the opportunity to view tournament information posted by USAV regions.  Click on the USAV membership link to begin .  You will need to print a copy of the USAV form and bring to your coach.

Junior Club Fees vary greatly in our area.
