What Are Club Assignments

Clubs must send a club assignment request to individuals in order for a membership to be connected to their club.  Once a participant's NCR-USAV membership is affiliated with a club and SAFETY REQUIREMENTS met the participant will show as APPROVED on  the USAV/SE Season Management roster and therefore be eligible to compete in Region sanctioned and USA Volleyball sanctioned events.

CLUB ADMINS - MAKE SURE TO ASSIGN YOUR OWN NCR-USA VOLLEYBALL MEMBERSHIP TO YOUR CLUB. 

  • Club assignment is the process of assigning the NCR - USA Volleyball membership to a specific USA Volleyball affiliated club.
  • Whether a coach purchased his/her own USA Volleyball membership or the club purchased the coach's USA Volleyball membership, the club assignment process is necessary to have participation fully recognized and team rosters to be approved.
  • Club admins can choose to use  public or direct club assignments.

Should My Club Use Public or Direct Club Assignments?

  • For ease of use, the public club assignment option is the most straightforward and streamlined approach, as it does not require the participant to be in the club directory.
  • Note - Any person with the link is able to purchase a membership and be assigned to that specific club.
  • Admins wanting to narrow control over who receives a club assignment link should utilize the direct club assignment option. 
  • It is possible to use both public (open) or direct (closed) club assignments.
  • As a reminder, club assignment is only one step in being eligible to participate - participants may still need to be rostered to teams as well.

More Insight on Public and Direct Club Assignments -->

Club Administrators have many tools which can be used to affiliate a coach or a player to the club. Since it is possible to use both public and direct assignment processes, determine how your club wants to proceed forward.

SEND DIRECT CLUB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST

Make sure that the members are in your directory. If not, the participants must be added to the club's directory. See step #3, under 'Add Administrator to Directory'

SEND PUBLIC CLUB ASSIGNMENT REQUEST

  1. From the left navigation menu in your SE HQ, click Members > Memberships.
  2. On the Memberships page, click Public Club Assignment
  • A link is generated that can be copied and shared to participants either through email or on your website, etc.
  • The system determines the appropriate membership based on their profile and the data provided.
  • This involves no individual or group input of coaches (or players) into your directory. Once they receive the Public Club Assignment, they are prompted to purchase their membership and are automatically connected to your club's directory

ACCEPTING DIRECT CLUB ASSIGNMENTS

In order to be approved on a Region-USA Volleyball roster, staff and participants, the player and/or staff member will need to be affiliated/attached to a Region-USA Volleyball club.

  • After the administrator sends the invitation for the participant to attach his/her Region-USA Volleyball membership to affiliate with the club, acceptance of the club invite must occur for the participant to be recognized as affiliated with the club
  • Once the invite is sent AND the participant has accepted the invite, the participant will be attached to the club for the 2023-2024 season
