There are a lot of changes happening on the beach this summer and we will be directly involved in hosting events on multiple platforms.

Our final schedule reflects a mix of AVP First, USA Beach, and Inter-Club Beach Events. 

We want to make it clear that while many of the events carry a "qualifier" nature to them, they are all open to anyone at any skill level. There is usually room for at least 12 teams at any age group (and up to 36 in some) so that brings a wide range of skill levels and goals. If you are just getting started on the beach, don't let the "qualifier" nature keep you from entering. Every tournament is it's own opportunity for you (and your partner) to improve on the beach. Play in as many as your schedule allows!

Tournament Cancellation and Changes Policy:  A full refund less $10 admin fee will be refunded without question if the request is made 7 days prior to the event after that no refund will be issued. Requests for refunds for medical reasons must be accompanied by a signed excuse from your physician. No exceptions.

A $10 change fee will be required to change from one event to another.  Change requests must be made 7 days prior to the event.  If a player is asked to leave due to disciplinary reasons, fees are not refundable.

Rarely do we cancel tournaments, but in the event we do cancel due to weather a full refund will be issued.

All cancellations or changes must be put in writing and e-mailed to entry@volleyballnw.com

We have had a few people ask us about the tournament format for the May 14-15 Beach National Qualifier. This is an excerpt from the tournament handbook. 

Age groups are the same as indoors.

The Puget Sound Region has been awarded one of 12 National Beach Qualifiers. Bottega will serve as a host site May 12-13. We will host the U14 and the U16's Divisions. More information on number of bids, registration, and the schedule will be posted below. [MORE INFORMATION]

Under the JBNC, there will be several divisions offered:

•    National Open [bid won at Beach National Qualifier.  Like the one May 12-13, hosted by PSR]
•    Regional Open [bid won at Beach Regional Qualifier, like the one hosted by NW Juniors July 7 & 8]
•    Patriot [non-bid division, anyone can enter, space might be limited]

If you DID NOT play club with NWJRS Elite VBC in 2018 then you will need to complete the following registration items. 

The following documents are required at check-in.  We will keep them on file throughout the summer, so you only need to turn them in once for NW Volleyball events.  

• PROOF OF USAV MEMBERSHIP (Individual Membership Card): How do you get it? All participants in Northwest Volleyball outdoor events must be USAV Members.  Please be sure to bring proof of USAV membership for check-in the day of the event.

• • If you are not already a member (junior indoors) here is information on how to get your Outdoor USAV Membership HERE.  

  • If you are a member: 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.  Print out an extra copy for yourself and keep it with you... just in case.

• Medical Release: If you played club this year, this is 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. 

• SCA Signature   SCA Info Sheet

• Concussion Signature

In order to speed up the check-in process, please e-mail the completed and signed paperwork to billing@volleyballnw.com or fax it to (425) 671-5020 at least 3 days prior to the event.
