We are locked in for the first two weekends, October 17/18 and October 24/25 so those two weekends are set. We still need to add a few more tournaments during October 31st thru December 12th. If you are interested in hosting in November or December, please see below.
4. Hosting a league tournament. "HELP!"
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 31st (Sat). The last fall semester day to host would be December 12th (Sat). Open dates (and areas) as of today are:
October 31 (Sat) West, Central, East
November 1 (Sun) West, Central, South
November 7 (Sat) West, East
November 8 (Sun) West, South,
November 14 (Sat) East, Central
November 15 (Sun) West, South
November 21 (Sat) West, South
November 22 (Sun) ALL
December 5 (Sat) West, South, Central
December 6 (Sun) East, Central
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.
5. I am now dealing with 110 teams (four divisions/areas) in our league. When you e-mail me, please specify which team you are representing. This will cut down on time I sometimes have to spend trying to figure out who you represent.. If you are one of the SUNY schools of UMASS system schools, give me the full school name.
6. TOURNAMENT REGISTRATION - as usual some tournaments are a lot more popular than others and they fill up quick. If you see that a tournament you originally requested is full, you can simply e-mail me to change to a different location/site. if your team doesn't get into a tournament you wanted and you can't find a suitable replacement, the money will be fully refunded. If you suspect that it's going to take a little while (aka LATE) for the physical check to be sent out, please have a full time staff from Club Sports Office, Recreation Department Office, or Finance Office to e-mail me verifying that the money (must specify the amount) was approved and the payment is being processed. I will take that as a promise to pay note and get your spot(s) confirmed.
7. 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
8. 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).
9. I will confirm your team's status for tournaments (or league membership) only when the payment is actually received through a check or direct deposit. please also read #6.
10. The tournament registration is now open. Registration and invoice form can be downloaded from our league website, www.nwvcl.org. Be sure to fill out the form and send it in with a payment.
11. 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.
OK. That's it for now.
Please let me know if you have any questions. The best e-mail to reach me is NWVCL@comcast.net
