REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT DEADLINE

Registration for 2013 is now open. The Early Registration and Payment deadline is March 1, 2013. After that date, the Team entry fee is $1,295. Registrations are accepted on AES through June 14, 2013. All payments are non-refundable, non-transferable.

REQUIRED FORMS

All registered teams must submit via email or fax the FESTIVAL WAIVER FORM for all registered Players, Coaches and Chaperones to the Volleyball Festival by May 10, 2013. If registering after this date, the form is due upon registration.

For each Team, submit the FESTIVAL WAIVER FORMS via email (volleyball.festival.forms@gmail.com) or fax (877-628-2804). Please limit submissions to only one Team per email or fax. If sending via email, scan all required forms to your PC and make sure to rename the file(s) so that it starts with the Team Name you registered with on AES. For example, a good naming convention is: Phoenix Elite 14-1 Waiver Forms.jpg. Preferred file formats are .jpg, .tif, or .pdf.

Players must also have a completed and signed USAV MEDICAL RELEASE FORM to participate. Hard copies of both the FESTIVAL WAIVER FORM and USAV MEDICAL RELEASE FORM must be presented at onsite team registration.

The Team Coach or Chaperone must keep a copy of all paperwork in their possession at all times while at the Volleyball Festival.

NON-USAV REGISTERED TEAMS

The Volleyball Festival is a USAV sanctioned event. It is a true "All-Comers" event that welcomes all teams from around the world, no matter their sanctioning body. No one goes home early and everyone who starts the tournament has a chance to win the Championship. If your team is not already registered with USAV, a discounted USAV "One Event" membership is available by emailing lisa@azregionvolleyball.org.
