 Instructions on what to do to join a team:

 

The first thing you need to do is register with NERVA online. The instructions are as follows:
 

Any player trying out for the Mass Patriots or Mass Juniors teams needs to register with USA Volleyball prior to trying out. The directions are sketchy so please follow these directions. If you have any questions you can email Prendi at c.prendi@verizon.net .

 

 

~ Click here if you have never played club ball before. Enter all the information for the player as requested.
Do not bother with the 'renewing' directions. Please choose Mass Juniors as your club team. Continue with directions below at the ***.

 

   

~ Click here to renew your membership (You did play club ball before, does not matter for which club).If you are renewing and do not remember your password, please click "Request a Login". It's sent immediately. 

Check your info. Add to bottom right area of the screen as necessary and then hit 'continue'.

***Go to the drop down menu on the right and select "Mass Juniors" You MUST select a club or we won't show you as being registered.

On the left where it asks for Membership Type, you should select "Juniors Girls".

Hit 'Submit'. Do not worry about money. Your NERVA fee is part of the club dues once you make a team. We will submit the money to NERVA on your behalf.

Click on all the Waivers and Codes. A parent or guardian must submit a drivers license number to finalize the process.

You no longer have to present signed forms at check in. The electronic signature is acceptable.

Any problems or questions, please email Prendi.

IMPORTANT: You must check your age group!!!

 

2009-2010 Age Definitions:

For eligibility purposes, a player who has just completed a grade in the Spring of 2010
will be considered in that grade just completed. Players need not be currently enrolled
in high school except as noted below.

Once a player participated in a club or varsity program for any university, college, community college,
or junior college, he/she is ineligible to play in any regional or national JOVC qualifying and championship events.

  • 18 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1991 or Players who were born
    on or after September 1, 1989 and a high school student during some part of the current academic year.
  • 17 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1992
  • 16 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1993
  • 15 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1994
  • 14 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1995
  • 13 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1996
  • 12 & Under Division: Players who were born on or after September 1, 1997 
     

 

 

 

 

Program fees cover the cost of coaching, USAV membership, gym fees, uniforms, tournament entrance fees,
and program expenses. Please note that the Mass Patriots and Mass Juniors Volleyball programs are not-for-profit organizations.

Exceptions will be made only on a space available basis, as it would be unfair to "bump" a player out of
the program for a player playing out of her age group. Moves up from 16’s to 17’s will not be done due
to the fewer number of teams at the older age level.

Please direct questions to: Chris Prendiville, Director, at c.prendi@verizon.net.
