Dear Club Directors,

 

I first want to thank you all for your patience with IVA as we are budgeting for the 07-08 season.  We have been negotiating for several months with our landlord as our lease on the IVA Center expires Nov 1.  Negotiations have been a struggle as the lease payment will be nearly doubling from last year.  This therefore affects our budgeting for the next season.

Having said that, there are some items that we want to update you on:

 

Court Rental of IVA
We have finalized our new court rental pricing. That will be posted on our website by the end of the week under the facility section of the webpage.  If you have a club that has interest in renting the facility please contact us for discussion.  Pricing ranges from $26-$40/hour per court.

 

Tournament Schedule and Pricing
We have been working on a new tournament format and pricing structure. That proposal from IVA Staff is currently with the Board of Directors for approval. We hope to have this approved and posted by the middle of next week.  Once that is decided, a detailed document will be posted along with the schedule on the structure of the new format and rules.

 

Online Registration System
We have been working with a new online registration system to take the place of www.signuptoplay.com.  We are in the final stages of making this go live.  I had a meeting this morning with the company and it is very close and we are shooting for an October 1 release date.  I ask that you please hold off on sending any registrations to IVA until this release date, with the exception of the club application.  I encourage you to get your club applications in as soon as possible.  Once received and accepted and approved, your tryouts will be posted on the IVA website.  The new online registration system will allow for online payments.  I think you will be pleased with the efforts this company has gone through in creating a registration system specifically to fit our needs.

IMPACT and Coaches Clinics
If you know of coaches who will be coaching for you this year and will need IMPACT certification, we currently have one coaches on the schedule.  This clinic is an advanced coaches clinic for all to attend and will also count as credit towards IMPACT.  You can find more information on this clinic at http://www.imvolleyball.org/index.php/Coaches-Education/Section-Coaches-Education/

 

Hosting Tournaments

We will be asking for a lot of help this year with clubs and cities to host IVA tournaments and to host your own tournaments.  If you are interested in hosting a tournament or running your own tournament, please contact Scooter at the IVA office right away….no matter where you are in the region.
