TOURNAMENT AMOUNTS AND LOCATIONS


  • The amount of tournaments vary from team to team but each team will play in a approximately 6-7 tournaments throughout the season which will be a mixture of single day and multi-day tournaments. There is a lot of great competition in the area so we tend to apply for tournaments in the Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania areas. 


SCOREKEEPER AND REFEREE TRAINING

  • At tournaments each team will be required to be a Work Team throughout the day. This means that the team will need to supply a Down Referee (sometimes even an Up Ref), a Score Book Keeper, A Libero Tracker, A Score Flipper, and Two Line Judges.  To be fair to all players so that the same players are not doing the same job the entire season, ALL players will be required to complete Scorer and Referee trainings
