Mike Vixie Memorial Service
Mike's memorial service has been set for Friday, June 20 at 11am at St Luke Church at 6835 SW 46th Portland, OR. If you go to this web page you can view photos and share stories of Mike.
Mike Vixie
It is with a heavy heart that we share sad news with our PVA community. Mike Vixie, a PVA player and 18-year PVA board member, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday. He devoted much of his time to PVA, acting as President, Treasurer, Referee, player and team manager over the years for the PVA league. He also worked with the State Games of Oregon and kept the outdoor State Games Summer Tournament going year after year. Our deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends. We welcome anyone who would like to share remembrances of Mike to do so on the PVA Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/PortlandVolleyballAssociation]. We will share information regarding the memorial service for Mike when details become available, and will send flowers for the service on behalf of the PVA community.
PCC Parking
Dear Managers, Starting May 5, 2014 players will need to purchase a parking pass to park in *any* PCC parking lot. Passes can be purchased at the kiosk located in lot 11. The cost is $2 per pass and the pass is good for two hours ($3 for 3 hours). If you do not have a pass on your dashboard, you may be assessed a $20 ticket. PVA is not responsible for any tickets issued. PVA was not made aware of this change until after spring season had been scheduled and was unable to find an alternate gym in that time. Negotiations with the PCC parking department have led to no success. We are currently looking into other gym options for the fall season. We encourage you to carpool whenever possible to save on the parking fee and apologize for this unforeseen cost. Thanks, PVA Board

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.
