VIDEO: Purchase the Membership

Purchasing a membership is a must to play in your region. In this step, we will walk you through how to ensure the process goes smoothly.

Ideally, your club will send you a link to purchase your membership and add your club assignment. If you are ready to commit to your club for the season, click on the club assignment link they’ve sent you and click “get membership.” If you did not get an invite from the club, accepting the invite is an additional step you will need to do after purchase.

If you already have a SportsEngine account, log in to your account. To make sure you don’t create a duplicate account, it’s best practice to log in using your unique cell number.

If you do not already have a SportsEngine account, you will be prompted to create one. It’s a critical step to set up the account in your own name as the parent. You will add a sub-profile in your account for your child later in the process. Setting up an account in your child’s name will create multiple issues later in your membership process.

1. Once logged into your account, you will be prompted to select the correct person you are trying to purchase a membership for.
   • For example, if you are purchasing for your child, please be sure to click a sub-profile with their name.
   • If your child isn’t listed as an option, click “add a child” to create their profile. Do NOT click your own profile to purchase a membership for your child.

VIDEO: Eligibility Requirements

USA Volleyball recommends accessing your eligibility requirements by logging into your SportsEngine account

USAV POLICIES

USAV National rules state that once a player has registered (paid dues to USAV RVA) they may only represent that one club for the entire season. Also, the rule is that once a junior player has participated in a JOVC qualifying event, he/she may not participate in another JOVC qualifying or championship event with a different club unless a waiver is granted by the Arbitrator and the regions involved.
