During cold weather, it is permissible for teams to wear identical training suits provided they are numbered in accordance with the specifications of #3 above and are of the same color, style, cut, and trim. 5. Uniform regulations will be strictly enforced. The Tournament Director will be responsible for determining infractions and may make exceptions to this rule if circumstances warrant. 3

15 SCVA JUNIOR GIRLS MANUAL 205 F. Officiating Each team must provide a complete officiating team when scheduled. If the officiating team is late for their assignment, that team will be responsible for officiating the remainder of that match and the next non-pre-assigned match in that pool. Failure to officiate for an entire assigned match will result in the forfeit of a game win from that team's overall record. A game win will become a game loss. If a team is late for the last match of the day or misses the assignment, the penalty as described above will carry over to the next tournament. The officiating team will consist of SIX people. 2 nd Official 2. 2 Linepersons 3. Official Scorekeeper 4. Official Libero Scorekeeper 5. Visible Scoreboard Keeper A team that fails to have a complete officiating crew available for an officiating assignment - including a rostered adult (preferably a team coach) for that team - at the time the court official is ready to proceed can be penalized by losing points in the first set of its next match. For every minute an officiating team is late to fulfill its assignment, one point will be awarded to that team s next opponent in the first set of the next match, up to a maximum of 25 points. Penalty points begin to accumulate at the start of the receiving team s warm-up. An adult listed on the event roster must be present at the scorer s table and easily identifiable while any members of the team are officiating. Performing duties as the R2 on the match the team is assigned to officiate fulfills this requirement. A team may forfeit its entire next match for failing, a second time, to have an officiating crew available on time for an officiating assignment. Guidelines for scoring, performing as an R2, tracking the Libero control sheet and serving as a Lines judge can be found at the following link httpwww.volleyballreftraining.comtraining_materials_junior.php Enclosed in the Supplements please find a USA Volleyball score sheet. Make sure your team members are familiar with the score sheet and can use it correctly. If you have any problems with an official or need a rule clarification, please call the office at G. Supervision A registered member of USA Volleyball is REQUIRED to supervise ALL team members during any SCVA competition. This person, or another registered adult, is required to remain on site until all team members have left the campus. This pertains to ALL age levels. Failure to follow this requirement will result in a $50.00 penalty fee, due before any future participation by the entire club. If the designated supervisor is someone other than a coach, the Tournament Director must be notified. H. Warm-ups A 0-minute warm-up (including ball-handling, hitting, and serving) will be allowed before your first match of the day ONLY--2 minutes shared ball handling and 4 minutes per team for hitting and serving. A 4-minute per team warm-up will be enforced throughout the remainder of pool play. I. Line-up Sheets 4

16 SCVA JUNIOR GIRLS MANUAL 205 Enclosed in the Supplements please find a copy of a rosterline-up sheet. Prior to your first match of the day you will need to complete and turn in this form to the official on your court. This must be done at EACH TOURNAMENT. List only the players (First and Last Names) that will be participating on that given day. You will also need to provide the official with a separate line-up sheet for each game played during the tournament. The line-up sheet has on the reverse side the appropriate number of line-up forms for use during the entire day. No verbal line-ups will be accepted. J. Protest Procedure A protest must be filed at the time of the incident no later. Only the floor captain may file the protest (the coach may intervene in 4,3, and 2 and under competition). The protest must be written on the score sheet by the scorer or official and must be signed by both the floor captain and the referee. The protested game will be completed but before the next game begins the protest must be ruled upon by the site director. A protest cannot be filed after the completion of the match. JUDGEMENT CALLS MAY NOT BE PROTESTED. VII. FACILITY REGULATIONS This season ALL facilities will follow the same rules. Please note that these are facility rules. A facility encompasses the entire building hallways, foyers, gym proper, and any rooms (unless otherwise specified). The Tournament Director will make exceptions in case of inclement weather. The SCVA asks your help in informing all parents, your players, and interested parties regarding these facility rules. If these rules are not adhered to, we will lose the use of the gyms. (Please emphasize that NO food, drink, or beach chairs are allowed.) A. Chairs NO chairs of any kind will be allowed INSIDE any facility. They may not be placed on blankets, towels, or newspapers. The use of beach chairs is prohibited by campus administration. B. Coolers NO coolers will be allowed inside any facility unless the Site Director sets a specific area aside. C. Plastic squeeze water bottles Plastic squeeze bottles with pushpull tops filled only with water will be allowed courtside. Glass Containers of any kind are strictly prohibited. D. Food and drink NO food or drink will be allowed inside any facility unless the Site Director sets a specified area aside. Any athlete SEEN with food or drink will not be allowed to participate in the next game. If any person associated with a club (i.e., parent, coach, andor other interested party) is SEEN with food or drink in the gym all team andor club members will remain until the conclusion of the tournament on the same day of the infraction to thoroughly clean the facility. If a team, their members, or supporters introduces andor consumes alcoholic beverages in or about the playing site, the penalty will be immediate disqualification. E. Animals No animals are allowed in any facility or any school campus, with the exception of service dogs. F. Skateboards and Rollerblades There is NO skateboarding or rollerblading in any facility or on any school campus, including parking lots. G. Barbecues NO barbecues that use briquettes, gas, or propane will be allowed on any campus. ** All water bottles must be removed from the court at the conclusion of your match. Water bottles left after a match may be cause for your team s loss of privilege to have water courtside. The gym and outside eating and lounging areas must remain clean and picked up throughout the tournament. Trash bags will be provided if necessary. Failure to comply with this will result in your teams cleaning the facility. 5

42 SPORT ACCIDENT EXCESS MEDICAL INSURANCE COVERAGE The Sport Accident Excess Medical insurance program provides participant coverage for loss resulting directly from members competing in an approved or sanctioned event. Coverage does not include loss from pre-existing conditions or competing in non-sanctioned events. The coverage extends from the start, through the completion of the event, including direct designated group travel to and from the event. The Medical policy provides up to $25,000 of excess accidental medical coverage for expenses incurred within one year of the date of the accident. Written proof of loss by the Insured is required within 90 days or as soon as is reasonably possible. Proof must, however, be furnished no later than 2 months from the time it is otherwise required, except in the absence of legal capacity. The policy provides coverage against loss in excess of coverage provided under other valid and collectible medical insurance and is subject to a $250 per claim deductible. If no other collectible medical insurance is available, the loss is subject to a $,000 deductible. If injury to the member athlete requires treatment by a legally qualified physician or confinement in a legally constituted hospital, or employment of a trained nurse, x-ray, or ambulance services, and if the first expense of such treatment is incurred within 90 days of the date of the accident, the insurance company will pay the usual and customary expense incurred up to $25,000, subject to the appropriate deductible and any other collectible insurance. DEFINITION OF PARTICIPANT Athletes, coaches, trainers, volunteers, committee members, officials and any other persons who are functioning on behalf of andor while participating in any event sanctioned or approved by USA Volleyball. DEFINITION OF PARTICIPATING Participating includes pre-event and post event activities which are officially approved or sanctioned events. Pre-event activities can include but are not limited to clinics, event dinners and pre-event practicing. Post event activities can include but are not limited to award banquets, award ceremonies and clinics that occur within one day after the event. Coverage is also included for non-sanctioned volleyball related activities for certified officials who meet extended coverage criteria. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WAIVER AND RELEASE FROM LIABILITY As with most sports activities, a signed Acknowledgement Waiver and Release from Liability (AWRL) form is required from all participants and from parents or guardians in the case of minors. This requirement exists in virtually every sport. It serves to document that the participants or parents of participating minors have acknowledged the inherent risk and danger associated with participating in sporting events. It is intended to serve as appreciable warning of these risks and the participants by signing the waiver, are giving their informed consent to the acceptance of those risks. It is important to remember that a signed waiver DOES NOT reduce the need for insurance or effective safety practices. A signed waiver is USAV s first line of defense against a cause of action for negligence and is a very effective risk management tool. The Regional Commissioner and others working under the direction of the Region must make every effort to conduct an event with safety as the number one concern. Page 5 of
