By
now you should be aware that USA Volleyball has launched two
new electronic newsletters geared toward junior boys and
girls. In order to make these newsletters as timely and
as interesting as possible, we need your help. Please
let us know about stories in your region that feature your
junior players, coaches, and programs. We want to know
about accomplishments on and off the court. Do you have
any photos to share? Are there any budding poets or
authors in your junior ranks? Please
help us recognize the talents and accomplishments that we know
flourish at the high school and club levels. Feel free
to submit photos and story ideas at any time to Bill Kauffman
(girls) (bill.kauffman@usav.org) and BJ Evans (boys) (bj.evans@usav.org).
Background
Screening-Any adult
involved with a junior team must have a background screen and
be a member. The screen is good for two seasons. If
your name is NOT on the list you will need to be
screened this season. Current Season list will be posted at the end of the
season. More information
here.
Refund
Policy-Once registrations have been received and checked in,
there is NO membership refund.
Membership cards
are no longer required for teams traveling outside of the
region. NCR will no longer send them out.
All teams and players can view the scorekeeping
PowerPoint presentation online. If you do not have PowerPoint, you may

Dear NCR Member,
I am writing you as
a reminder that our new travel website has launched. This awesome
new site is powered by Travelocity search engines. By using this website for
your travel needs you will be supporting North Country Region USA
Volleyball.
Every time you book a trip, whether it is for
business or leisure, a portion of the travel commission generated is
donated back to us. The cost for the trip will be exactly the same
as if done directly through Travelocity itself. However, by using
our new travel website, proceeds will help North Country Region USA
Volleyball promote volleyball to all people in our region
(Minnesota, North Dakota, South
Dakota and the upper peninsula of Michigan).
As always, I am here for any questions you may have. Please
take a look at our new site and sign-up to be a member if you have
not already.
http://www.donationstravel.com/681303
It is only through your continual
support that we continue to grow the sport of volleyball in North
Country Region USA Volleyball.
Thanks in advance for your
help and have fun on your next trip!!
