Volume 4 Issue 5 -- November 14, 2021
Dear Members, 

From Commissioner:

The majority of you should have finished tryouts. If you did not make a team, we encourage you to check out other clubs near you, they may still be looking for players. If you need help, let us know.


Reminder once you have committed to a specific club, you must upgrade your USAV Palmetto Tryout membership to a full regular membership.

We will begin to provide specific information on tournaments in our next issue. All tournaments spectators will need gate tickets. We have a staff person who is assisting teams pre-order these, but must be ordered by team. Individual tickets will be available at events also.

Palmetto Region CEO

POST-TRYOUT INFORMATION
Tryouts should be wrapping up. If you are still looking for a team, please contact the region at palmettovolleyball@gmail.com with your name, age, city, and (if applicable) your position. We will notify you if we hear of anybody looking for players.

Those of you who have committed to a club, you should have received or will soon be receiving an invitation to join the club via SportsEngine. Please accept that invitation ASAP, so the clubs can create rosters. Along with this acceptance, you will be required to upgrade your tryout membership to a full membership (additional $35). Contact your club if you do not get an invitation.
