What Are Club Assignments?

  • Club assignment is the process of assigning a participants (player or staff) USA Volleyball membership to the club he/she plays or works for.
  • Even though players/staff may purchase a membership directly  (i.e., NGB or Region), the club assignment process is necessary to have participation fully recognized.
  • Club admins can choose to use public or direct club assignments.

Should I 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 open/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.

Steps for Public Club Assignments

  1. From the left navigation menu, click USA Volleyball > 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.

If you shared a link using Public Club Assignments, you are not able to track who received the link. You can manage Club Assignments once the request has been accepted.
