Welcome to the online registration system for the Ohio Valley Region of USA Volleyball. Using this system, clubs, teams, and individuals can register for the 2007-2008 season. Our simple, secure registration process lets us provide you with a far greater array of services and will save you significant amounts of time throughout the season.

Before registering:

• Do not register until you are ready with your registration fee(s) and all required forms! Payments are to be mailed immediately after supplying your information. Registrations are not complete until fees and forms are received and recorded.

• It is absolutely imperative that correct addresses be provided for all members. Rule books and the USA Volleyball magazine cannot reach you and the members you represent if the addresses you provide are incomplete or incorrect.

• Register members of your club or team only after you have firm commitments. (Juniors' club directors: the Athletes' Bill of Rights protects you from players "changing their minds" after committing.) We transmit membership data to USA Volleyball as soon as possible to begin members' benefits. Once a member's data is transmitted, it is impossible to revoke that member's memberhip. Do not ask for a refund for any membership.

• It is absolutely imperative that correct addresses be provided for all members. Rule books and the USA Volleyball magazine cannot reach you and the members you represent if the addresses you provide are incomplete or incorrect.

• Juniors' Club Directors should read and understand the Juniors' Registration Packet prior to registering.

• Men's and Women's Team Reps should read and understand the Men's and Women's Registration Information prior to registering.

Registration fees for the 2007-2008 are as follows:

All individuals registering with the Ohio Valley Region, Inc. of USA Volleyball who will interact with juniors in any sanctioned activity must agree to background screening. Background screens are valid for 2 calendar years, and background screens which would expire during the season must be renewed now. Coaches who turn 18 during the season must be screened immediately on turning 18. Complete details are available at www.ovr.org/background/.

To register:

1. First, proceed through the following screens, entering the information needed to register you with the Ohio Valley Region and with USA Volleyball.

   Please refrain from reloading or refreshing pages using your browser's refresh feature.

   After entering your information, you will receive confirmation on-screen and also by e-mail that includes a tracking number. If applicable, that confirmation will also include member and team numbers.

2. Immediately complete your registration by mailing the following:

   1. a check for your registration fees, payable to "Ohio Valley Region"

   2. a signed Waiver and Release for each individual being registered

   3. for each juniors' coach and club director being registered, a signed Junior Coaches' Code of Ethics

   4. for each non-junior who will interact with juniors, a completed and signed Consent Waiver and Release for Background Screening

   5. if you are submitting your club's background screening forms, a completed and signed Club Contact Information for Background Screening Reports form

   Direct those documents to:

   Stephen J. Donahue 5401 Rochelle Drive Stow, OH 44224-5512 donahue@ovr.org 330-342-3951 /fax

   Your registration is not complete until we receive and accept your signed documents and registration fees. It is critical that the OVR office receives your information promptly, and individuals who wish to interact with juniors cannot do so until their background screening is complete. If not received within 10 calendar days of your registration, the player and team numbers issued will be voided and the registration canceled.

   A $25 fee will be charged for all checks that fail to clear.

   To keep everyone's fees as low as possible, at this time the OVR does not accept credit card payments.
