2026-2027 Season
Update 9/3/2026
Northeast Women's Volleyball Club League
1. The annual league membership payment ($400 per team/per school) is due October 24, 2026. The registration form can be found on our website at https://www.nwvcl.org/pdf/nwvcl_league_registration.pdf
Unless you were previously approved for B team, you are NOT allowed to add second team as a league member. The list of approved members can be found at https://www.nwvcl.org/members.asp
If you are getting a Purchase Order request, be sure to follow up and make sure that actual payment (check) is processed and sent out (after it's approved by your administration/system).
I will confirm your team's status only when the payment is actually received through a check or direct deposit.
2. Hosting a league tournament. "HELP!"
We still need to add more tournaments (about 12-15 more). If your team is interested in hosting, please let me know.
The individual tournament will be $200 per team per tournament. Note that this is separate from the league membership dues.
If you are interested in hosting, please take a look at the information below:
- To host a fall semester tournament, pick any Sat or Sun starting on October 11th (Sun). The last fall semester day to host would be December 12th (Sat). Open dates (and areas) as of today are:
October 17 (Sat) West, Central, South
October 18 (Sun) Central, South
October 24 (Sat) Central, East
October 25 (Sun) Central
October 31 (Sat) ALL
November 1 (Sun) West, Central, South
November 7 (Sat) West, East
November 8 (Sun) West, South, East
November 14 (Sat) East, Central
November 15 (Sun) West, South
November 21 (Sat) West, South, East
November 22 (Sun) ALL
December 5 (Sat) ALL
December 6 (Sun) ALL
December 12 (Sat) West, East, Central
- You will need two courts (minimum) for at least 10 hours, more courts would be great if you can get them. A typical tournament goes from 8 am to 6 pm (or 9 am to 7 pm). If you are able to have 3 or more courts, you will most likely need 10.5 hours ideally.
- Hosting team is responsible for court set-up, things like facility rental fees and any cost involved with having athletics trainers available (when required by your school). NWVCL does not require athletic trainers at its events but they are highly recommended. Hosting team must follow their school policy regarding hosting an athletic event.
- NWVCL will coordinate tournament registration, schedule, assigning and paying certified officials, posting on-line results, game balls, prizes (typically volleyballs), etc.
- The hosting team (one team) will be automatically registered into the tournament they are hosting for free.
- Please remember you requesting to host does not guarantee that your home tournament will be approved. Many factors go in including the past history, your location in relations to other schools in surrounding areas, other tournaments near your area, etc. Obviously sooner you can get a confirmation from your school about availability, better chance you will have to host.
3. I know many of you are anxious to get the paperwork going for the tournament payments. If your school is insisting that your get your budget proposal or tournament payment request in now, here's what I would suggest. Figure out how many tournaments and your team wants to play in. Let's say you plan on playing in two tournaments this fall semester. Download the tournament registration/invoice form, and you can fill it out with TBD1 or TBD2 for locations/dates. We will figure out together once the league schedule is finalized as to which tournaments the money will actually be used for. As always, any money not used (maybe a tournament you wanted to sign up is full) will be fully refunded or be used as credit for future events.
4. Here is the tentative fall schedule as of today (Again this is not FINAL!) All fall tournaments will be designated as" OPEN" meaning you can sign up for any tournament.

5. The tournament registration is now open but I really encourage you to wait until the end of next week when we hope to finalize the league schedule. The tournament registration/invoice form is attached on this e-mail. The form will also be available on our league website.
6. Please be sure to review league rules posted on our league website, www.nwvcl.org Pay special attention to individual/team eligibility and uniform requirements.
7. Member In Good Standing: All Divisions (East, Central, West, South): teams must play in at least three REGULAR SEASON league tournaments (one in the fall semester, two in the spring semester). Remember this is the MINIMUM requirement. Teams are encouraged to play in as many league tournaments as possible to earn points towards qualifying for the league championships. It is highly recommended that teams planning to participate in the NCVF Club Nationals play in at least three tournaments during spring semester.
Please let me know if you have any questions. The best e-mail to reach me is NWVCL@comcast.net
I look forward to working with everyone this season.
