Tournament Information

All NAGVA rules and regulations will take precedent for the Labor of Love Volleyball Classic 16.  Absolutely NO TEAMS allowed to play their first game until registration is complete; including signed waiver by each player, tournament and NAGVA fees.  FINAL REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED PRIOR TO 8:00 A.M. ON SATURDAY or before you play your first match. All players must compete during Saturday’s pool play to be eligible for tournament play on Sunday.

Our facility this year is the Sports Barn which is located in the Easton area (east side) of town.  Easton includes numerous shops and restaurants from Nordstrom to the Cheesecake Factory.  It is only 5-10 minutes from the Ramada Plaza and will be easy to get to and there is also plenty of free parking!  For more info on Easton Towne Center, please click HERE.

The Sports Barn will have concessions available both days and there are also plenty of fast food restaurants in Easton.  If you do bring a cooler, you will need to leave it in your car or on the grass outside of the facility.  NO COOLERS are permitted inside of the Sports Barn.  

We plan to have massage therapists on hand both days again this year and will be working for tips so please tip graciously! More info and confirmation will be available soon!

Referees

Each team is responsible for the full officiating crew for pool play matches on Saturday.  If you do not have a NAGVA Certified Ref, your team will pay $40 (cash) per match for one to fill in as the 1st Referee.  There will be an attempt to supply USAV officials for all tournament games on Sunday. For those of you seeking to renew or take the test for the first time, it is now available online to take. Please email Jonathan at officials@nagva.org to take your test! There will be no clinic at the tournament!

Scorekeepers

You may not know that NAGVA now requires each team to provide a certified scorekeeper.  If you do not have a NAGVA Certified Scorekeeper, your team will pay $40 (cash) per match including Sunday. For those of you seeking to renew or take the test for the first time, it is now available online to take. Please email Jonathan at officials@nagva.org to take your test! There will be no clinic at the tournament!

Awards

Teams awards and individual awards will be given out for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places. Five all-star awards and one MVP award will be handed out for each division.  All awards will be handed out at the banquet on Sunday night at the Ramada Plaza (host hotel).
