All Players MUST BE REGISTERED with USA Volleyball prior to participation in any Aspire USAV sanctioned practice - this includes Open Gyms, Team Selections, and practices.  Because we are at the end of the 2018 season and the start of the 2019 season, there are some special considerations in regards to USAV Membership.

RETURNING PLAYERS:  Any player that participated in club volleyball during the 2018-19 season or during the summer competition is considered current and may participate under their current 2018 membership.  We cannot renew membership until September 1, 2019.

NEW CLUB PLAYERS:  Any player that did not participate in club volleyball during the 2018-19 season will need to apply for a USAV membership with the Arizona Region - use the Summer Fee ($15) for the partial membership.

ALL PLAYERS (AFTER TEAM SELECTIONS):  The new club season (2019) begins September 1, 2019 - this is when players can apply for a new 2019 USAV membership ($55).  Once Team Selections have concluded and players commit to Aspire, all players must renew/apply before September 10, 2019.
