????????? Attendees taking advantage of these early Webinars will enjoy a lower fee; as we approach the 2008 Junior Championships, prices will go up, so register to attend NOW!?

IMPACT students will have 2 weeks following?the Webinar to take and pass the IMPACT test online.? At the end of the 2 week period, USAV will issue IMPACT certificates via email?to coaches with passing test scores - and will copy that coach's home Region Office as well.?A further schedule for additional IMPACT Webinar dates for the remainder of 2007 and into 2008 will be released following the November Webinars.Contact USAV Coaching Education Office with any questions (cap@usav.org)

USAV HP [girls] tryouts at Schenectady Posted 2007-02-07
IREVA will host USAV HP tryouts for girls on Sunday 3/18/07, 4-8 PM, at Union College in Schenectady. See the USAV website for more information and applications. The following information is copied from there for convenience. High Performance Tryouts Entry into all HP teams and camps is based upon selection by our cadre of HP coaching staff at one of many USA HP Tryouts. These tryouts are held across the country from January through April. Boys HP Tryouts are held from mid-January through the first weekend in March at approximately ten sites. Girls HP Tryouts are held during March and April at approximately twenty sites. 2007 FIVB/High Performance Program Age Groups Men/Boys' Age Groups Boys' USA Select (BSEL) - Boys born in 1991, 1992 and after Boys' Youth National Team (BYNT) - Boys born in 1989 and 1990 Men's Junior National Team (MJNT) - Men born in 1987 and 1988 Women/Girls' Age Groups Girls' USA Select (GSEL) - Girls born in 1992, 1993 and after Girls' Youth National Team (GYNT) - Girls born in 1990 and 1991 Women's Junior National Team (WJNT) - Women born in 1988 and 1989 Registration is required for participation at High Performance tryouts, and there is a tryout fee. To register, click on the Indoor Tryouts link off of the High Performance banner to the left of this page. Evaluation and Selection from HP Tryouts Through the HP Tryouts (which include three hours of court time), athletes are striving to be selected for the National-level Team or Camp in their age group. In the youngest age group (USA Select), athletes selected to the National-level Program will participate in a training camp for five-six days with the other top nineteen athletes selected from tryouts. That group will then be broken into two teams that compete in a four-day competition at the USA High Performance Championships. This will all take place in mid-late July, after the USA Junior Nationals Tournament. In the Youth and Junior Age groups, eighteen athletes selected to the National-level Program will join their respective Youth or Junior National Team for an extended training block, prior to a final squad of twelve athletes traveling to and participating in an international competition. In an even year (e.g. 2006) that competition is a NORCECA Qualifying Tournament for participation in World Championships the following year. Below the National-level program in each gender and age group (depending on year and participant numbers) there are one to four levels of camps that athletes can be selected to participate in from HP tryouts. These include A2 programs, A3 programs, Development Camps and A2 Development Camps.

Albany Area Adult Scorekeeping Clinic Posted 2007-01-31

There will be an Adult Scorekeeping Clinic at RPI from 3:00 to 5:00 in the Student Union Room 3602 (Top Floor).

IMPACT clinic scheduled Posted 2007-01-23
ATTENTION COACHES! [And prospective coaches!] IREVA will be hosting an IMPACT clinic for all interested volleyball coaches Friday night, 03/16/07, 6 to 10 pm, in Saratoga Springs, NY. Mark this date on your calendar NOW! The location is the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The cost will be $50 per person. Reservations are required. Contact Mike Wingard [Mlwingard@cs.com] to hold your spot. This is an opportunity for head coaches, assistant coaches, and potential coaches to learn current thoughts and ideas about the philosophy of coaching volleyball, as well as organization and technical skills development from a highly qualified USAV-certified instructor. Additional information about IMPACT and CAP [Coaching Accreditation Program] are available at the USAV website under education. If you already have IMPACT certification, perhaps it’s time to consider a refresher. Coaches should be aware that the course is regularly updated by USAV. IREVA requires JO teams to have IMPACT-certified coaches. USAV requires teams participating in JO national events to have IMPACT-certified coaches. IMPACT or equivalent is a prerequisite for CAP certification. It is anticipated that additional requirements for CAP certification and/or IMPACT renewal will be established by USAV and IREVA in the near future, so this is an opportunity to get a head start on meeting those new standards, as well as for personal development and increasing the integrity of our JO programs. IMPACT is not limited to JO coaches. Coaches for high school, college, and adult teams can benefit equally from this training, and their participation is strongly encouraged. All non-IREVA and non-USAV coaches are also welcome.

TIVA in use for IREVA JO tournaments Posted 2006-12-23
At the Junior Club Directors’ meeting 10/08/06, the JO reps approved the use of TIVA for ALL IREVA-sanctioned JO tournaments in 2006-07. All JO Tournament Directors will use TIVA to accept entries and post results; all teams will use TIVA to enter JO tournaments. This system will be available at NO COST to Tournament Directors or teams! IREVA has negotiated a contract with the service providers for a significant savings in both cost and convenience. This approach to managing tournaments will simplify the entry process for everyone. It will also simplify results reporting! The use of this system was a big help with Regionals last year, and many teams already use it for other tournaments. The attendees at the meeting believed that the shift to this system would be a positive for the Region. Tournament Directors will continue to apply for their event sanction on-line and work with Betsy Marsh (the Tournament Coordinator for the Region). She will give approval for events, grant access to the system and help get things set up. Once an event is set up, teams will be able to enter on-line via TIVA. TDs will be able to post the receipt of a check and confirm entry. In addition, teams can print rosters from the system -- and everyone will be using their USAV/IREVA Team code to enter. Club Directors and team reps must ensure that they have their teams set up properly in the member registration system. At the end of the event, TDs can upload all the results into TIVA. Club directors will see results automatically posted to their teams! For those clubs / teams who have never used TIVA -- you can go to www.tivaonline.com to register your club and to enter your players’ information. Once the information is there, it is simple to enter any event listed in the system. Questions and comments can be referred to: Robin Sparks - Juniors Director; Betsy Marsh - Tournament Coordinator; Cameron Erickson – Registrar; or other IREVA officers as needed.

FELLOWSHIP EVENTS SCHEDULED Posted 2006-12-23
