August 2016: WEVA is pleased to announce the addition of Lisa Siragusa as it's corporate attorney. Please click HERE for her bio.

From September 29th to October 3rd, the 2016 USA Volleyball Fantasy Camp will provide participants with the ultimate opportunity for up close and personal interactions with an All-Star lineup of USAV Olympic team athletes and coaches. Not only will you get to live out the lifestyle of the most elite level athletes through your stay at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center, you’ll also be surrounded by some of the most knowledgeable and talented names in the sport. This Fantasy Camp allows you to create memories and fellowships with these greats as more than just a fan, but as common volleyball enthusiasts.

We are very excited to have our sign-ups arrive to the Olympic Training Center, but please note that travel arrangements should not be made prior to the confirmation date of August 29th. As you can imagine, the Olympic games has been such a huge focus for USA Volleyball and it has made event scheduling difficult throughout the year. We are working to solidify all of the training, venues, and logistics, to ensure the best possible quality for all participants.

USA Volleyball can’t wait to receive your registration notice, and we thank you for your patience with transportation booking.

WEVA Board

USA Volleyball passed a major rule change regarding the Libero and fast-tracked its implementation to immediate status during its Rules Commission Meeting on Feb. 25 in Denver.

A motion was made and passed to change the wording of USAV Rule 19.2 to read as: “The Libero(s) must wear a uniform which clearly contrasts with the rest of the team.” A second motion was passed that made the implementation of the new rule immediate. The new rule replaces the "Solid Color Jersey" rule. Pati Rolf, chair of the USAV Rules Commission, stated that the new rule was approved in response to the concerns of the membership. "We strongly believe this rule change, which was strongly supported by the membership, will be less restrictive and more flexible,” Rolf said.

One key point in the discussions was to ensure that any team that currently had legal uniforms would still be able to use those uniforms. Paul Albright, USAV indoor rules interpreter, emphasized that training will start as soon as possible to get that message out to the membership. "Obviously we have a challenge to get the word out, but we already have people working to update our training materials, including the new jersey gallery on https://VolleyballRefTraining.com to explain the rule change,” Albright said.

USA Volleyball will also work to widely distribute the new rule to the clubs and tournament directors as the season is in progress. Any questions regarding the rules change can be directed to your local region referee chair, Fred Chase (fchase@rochester.rr.com) or to the USAV Rules Interpreter at vbinterp@usav.org.
