The NCVA promotes participation in a quality program that provides a positive and safe athletic environment through a variety of developmental and competitive opportunities for all ages, skills levels, and diverse groups. It is important to us to maintain our professional demeanor and serve our customers with the highest level of service.
We offer numerous clinics and camps for coaches and referees to experience and learn all sorts of new volleyball training. The NCVA requires background screenings for all NCVA member adult affiliates with our Junior Teams, Referees and Tournament Staff. These backgrounds are very strict to ensure that everyone is around safe and upstanding role models. The NCVA also provides each team with the opportunity to play in the highest level tournaments (USA Adult Opens) and a variety of league tournaments for all teams no matter how diverse in age, or skill level. We have staff that is in the office from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday to help you with all your questions and needs. We also have on-call staff members on the weekends to help any tournament director with their questions. These are the items that will keep the quality of your playing experience at the highest possible level.
