TIPS FOR CHOOSING A CLUB
Selecting a club is a family decision and takes some research. Although clubs must abide by general Alaska Region and USA Volleyball rules, each club is different in the way they run their organization and train their athletes. This is a big decision, commitment, and contract to an entire season! We highly recommend athletes and parents do their club research well in advance to tryouts. Check out club websites, talk to classmates and friends, call the club directors and coaches, etc. Club volleyball requires an investment of both time and money. It’s a good idea to find out as much as you can about your different options before making any decisions. Remember to avoid assumptions as you start this process. Don’t assume a big club is better than a small club. Don’t assume the right fit for your friend is the right fit for you. Talk to several different clubs as you start to gather information.
Tips for selecting a Club:
· What is the club philosophy? To win? To improve? To have fun?
· How many teams do you have at each age level?
· Who are the coaches at my age level?
· What is their background in coaching?
· How is playing time allocated?
· What are your club dues? Is there a payment schedule?
· What is covered/not covered in that fee?
· Are there any other financial obligations? Travel? Fundraising? Uniforms?
· Where, when and how often do you practice?
· Are practices mandatory? What if my child misses a practice? Misses a tournament?
· Are players allowed to play other sports during the club volleyball season?
· How long is your season?
· How far and how often will the team be traveling?
· What does my child want to get out of the club experience?
· Can we afford the program we choose? Spending time researching your options will help you have the best season possible.
Upon official commitment to a club that is registered with the Alaska Volleyball Region / USA Volleyball, the athlete must remain with that club / team for the remainder of the Junior Volleyball season.

Refund Policy
When purchasing an individual membership, there are two components – the portion of membership dues that go to ALASKA VOLLEYBALL, and the portion that goes to USA Volleyball. When a membership is purchased, this refund policy is acknowledged and agreed to by the member and/or their parent/guardian. This policy only applies to the membership purchased with ALASKA VOLLEYBALL/USAV and does not apply to any financial obligations between a family and their club.
The portion of a membership cost that comes to ALASKA VOLLEYBALL is non-refundable. If you purchased a membership in error or feel you were overcharged, please immediately email hello@alaskavolleyball.org
A player who purchases a membership, but does not make a team during tryouts, is not eligible to have their membership refunded. ALASKA VOLLEYBALL strongly recommends the purchase of a tryout membership until the athlete is assured of a place on a team (at which point they must upgrade to a full-season membership).
Regardless of the situation surrounding a refund, credit card processing fees are always non-refundable.
The portion of a membership that goes to USAV is governed by USAV’s refund policy, outlined below:
· Full memberships may be eligible to receive a refund of national registration fees. Cancellation requests must be received within 45 days of purchase.
· Limited memberships are not eligible to receive a refund of national registration fees, insurance or processing fees.
USA Volleyball will only consider its refund if the region provided the individual a full refund on region membership fees.
The following guidelines will be used in the calculation of a refund amount:
· If the member participated in a USAV sanctioned program or event, then national registration fees are refunded, less insurance and credit card processing fees.
· If the member did NOT participate in any USAV sanctioned program or event, then member is entitled to a full refund of all fees.
No refunds will be issued when an entire USA Volleyball membership season and/or any portion thereof is canceled or interrupted for any reason.
Other ALASKA VOLLEYBALL and/or USA Volleyball sanctioned programs and events may utilize different cancellation policies. Please read individual event information thoroughly.
ALASKA VOLLEYBALL and USA Volleyball reserve the right to make exceptions to this policy at their sole discretion

COMMIT TO A TEAM
COMMIT TO A TEAM
If selected, your child may be required to sign a Letter of Commitment and/or a club contract. Once signed, this agreement represents a season-long commitment. Players may not transfer to another club during the season unless they are officially released from their obligations by their current club.
Please note that formal signing dates are established, and commitments made before these dates are not considered binding. While clubs may request a verbal commitment prior to the official signing date to assist coaches and directors in roster planning, players and parents are not obligated to honor any commitment made before the designated signing date.
