2010 OVR High Performance Program
The Boys' and Girls' HP Championship tournament will be held in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, not Sevierville, Tennessee, as originally announced by USA Volleyball. The teams will leave Ohio by bus on Sunday, July 25th. The competition runs from Monday the 26th through Friday the 30th. We will return to Ohio on Friday evening, July 30th.
The OVR Board of Directors has approved funding for the 2010 OVR HP Program.

The 2010 HP Championships will be held in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Competition dates will be July 26-30. The event will be held at Chula Vista. Chula Vista will not only be the site of competition, but it will also be able to house and feed every team on site.
The format of the championship is 3-4 days of pool play followed by a single elimination tournament bracket. Teams will play High Performance Teams from other USAV regions as well as USAV HP Teams.
Players selected for the team will train together prior to the championship. We are currently working on the training location and coaching staff and expect to announce those no later than February 1, 2010. We will continue with our plan to utilize college coaches and club coaches for the coaching staff.
We will select 20-24 players in each age group to participate in a HP Training Camp. The 10 person travel teams will be selected from the Training Camp participants.
Camp Participation is expected to be around $250.00. Players selected for the travel team will pay an additional $350-$450.00. Camp fees cover training, accommodations and meals and Kaepa training clothes. Travel team fees include coaching fees, travel to and from the playing site in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, Accommodations at the playing site (the site is an all inclusive resort-so we are determining whether food will also be included this year) and a complete uniform package from Kaepa. Player Fees are supplemented by the OVR board to cover the expenses. Last year, the OVR covered approximately 60% of the cost, with the player covering the remaining 40%.
Tryout dates/times and location will be announced shortly.
In order to tryout for an OVR HP team, you must be a member of the OVR and USA Volleyball.

The OVR High Performance Teams will compete against other regional HP teams as well as USAV High Performance Teams. The program offers our elite athletes another opportunity to train and compete at the highest level while also building life-long friendships with other HP athletes.
