Tournament Attendance
Tournament attendance is what teams train for and is a mandatory part of Club Volleyball. Great work, expense, and efforts are taken by the Club, coaches, teams, and player families in committing to tournaments, so attendance is taken seriously. For this reason, missing a tournament for any reason other than injury/illness will result in a penalty to the player's family, as outlined in the financial agreement.
