A USAV membership is a membership with USA Volleyball (USAV), the national governing body for volleyball in the United States. It is required for athletes, coaches, officials, and club staff who want to participate in sanctioned events, such as:
Club practices and tryouts
Regional and national tournaments
USAV High Performance programs
Coaching and referee certification courses
Key Points:
It ensures participants are covered by sports accident and liability insurance during USAV-sanctioned activities.
Memberships are typically purchased annually through a regional volleyball association (RVA) affiliated with USAV.
Athletes often need to select the correct region based on where their club is located (e.g., GEVA for the New York area).
