Rule Change: Under the Net

Here's a new rule change for under the net play that we are adopting:

USAV 11.2.2: “Encroachment into the opponent’s court with any part(s) of the body is permitted, provided some part of the body remains either in contact with or directly above the center line, and there is no interference with opponents. In addition, completely crossing the center line with the foot, feet or hands, or encroachment with other body parts must not present a safety hazard to opponents"

Fall 2013 Managers Meeting Notes

Thank you managers for a very successful fall managers meeting! We were very happy with discussions that resulted from the Fall 2013 managers meeting. Here is a review of what was discussed at the Fall 2013 meeting:

• Subs- After much discussion the managers voted on a sub rule that PVA will follow for the regular season. Subbing will be allowed only one level down (AA to A, for example) but a player could sub up to any level.

• Refs- PVA’s referees always try to get to a match on time, but sometimes they get stuck in traffic. If a referee does not show up we ask that you please start the game on time and then report the scores to Michelle. You can also email Michelle for a credit for the missing referee.

• Rosters- Rosters are required for all teams.

• Waiveres- Please see above for additional information.

Please make sure you only park in lot 12 for free at PCC. If there are no spots open in lot 12 players will have to pay the $5 fee or risk getting a ticket. PVA will not be responsible for tickets issued if anyone parks in other lots besides 12. Tickets have been issued so don't risk it, they are $20.
