NORTHWEST VOLLEYBALL

2009 JUNIOR BEACH SERIES

AN INNOVATIVE SERIES EXCLUSIVELY FOR JUNIOR BEACH PLAYERS

WHAT IS IT?

A multiple-event series that allows junior (U20) players the opportunity to play beach doubles, collect prizes, earn points, and gain free entry to the Northwest Championships at the end of the season. Beach volleyball is growing in the Northwest! Players and their parents are discovering that by playing doubles -- even without coaches :) -- they are showing significant improvement over the summer because of increased touches. The side effects (a great tan) are pretty nice also!

WHEN IS IT?

All Summer! There are FOUR events in the series and one Championship Tournament at the end of the summer. There are also some great qualifying events offered by AAU and USA Volleyball.

POINTS & RAFFLE?

Points will be awarded to all participants based on the place they take and the number of teams that are in their age group or division each event. For the Junior Series, the individual that has accumulated the most points over the four event series will receive an outdoor volleyball net system!

Every Junior Beach Series participant will receive at least one raffle ticket for the drawing to be held at the Northwest Championship Tournament, Saturday, August 30th. The more teams in your division and the higher you place, the more points and raffle tickets you get (details). At the Northwest Championship Event, we will raffle off a ton of prizes and gifts. The more raffle tickets you won over the summer, the more possibilities you have of winning prizes, there is not limit to the prizes you can win at the Raffle.

FREE ENTRY TO THE AUGUST 29th CHAMPIONSHIP?

All participants that accumulate at least 40 points in the series will gain free entry into the August 29th Northwest Beach Doubles Championship.

BEACH RULES These are the rules that will be in effect at every Jr. beach event.

POINTS AND RAFFLE DETAILS:

Teams: This is the number of teams that are in your age group that day.

Place: This is what place you take that day.

Points: This is how many points you get that day based on your finish. Remember, the individual with the most points after the 4 series events will get the Net System, and everyone who earns 40 points or more will get free entry to the Northwest
Championships. This system rewards the individuals playing in the largest divisions (and most often)!

Raffle: This is how many tickets you will get into the raffle to be held at the Northwest Championships. Every participant at every event will get at least one raffle ticket. Before you leave the event, you will be issued the appropriate number of tickets and you will fill them out and place them into the raffle bin. We will raffle off many prizes at the Northwest Championships, so it will be well worth your time to participate!

USAV MEMBERSHIP/AAU Membership:

All JUNIOR participants in Northwest Volleyball outdoor events (tournaments) must be USAV Members. If you are not already a member (junior indoors) get your $15 Outdoor Membership

For those playing in the AAU event, USA Volleyball membership is acceptable for participation, however, if they qualify and plan on playing in the National Events, an AAU Membership will be required at those events.

The following documents are required at check-in:

PROOF OF MEMBERSHIP: How do you get it? Go to the USAV Membership Login Page and enter your personal Username and Password. Once you are on your personal page, look to the left column, and click "Print Membership Card" and print that page. That is your USAV Card. Keep it with you for USAV events...
MEDICAL HISTORY AND RELEASE FORM: Yes, the same one you gave to your club or coach at the beginning of the season. This is information the tournament director must collect in case you get injured at a tournament. It helps the Tournament Director know what procedures your parents want used to treat your injuries. It is also medical history for the doctors at the hospital... very important in case you have any allergies. We will keep them on file throughout the summer, so you only need to turn it in once for NW Volleyball events.
