Registration Questions:
USA Volleyball has issued the following statement in answer to similar questions such as this:
“This is to confirm that only USA Volleyball background screenings are accepted for USAV and/or Region sanctioned events. Other organizations may choose to accept the USA Volleyball background screening as valid because they know that we hold to a high standard of safety. However, USA Volleyball and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) have a unique set of flags and disqualifiers that are monitored, and the USAV strategic priority of “Safety First” leads us to the conclusion that we need direct access to screening information in order to make the best decisions about the safety of our participants.”
For this reason, all applicants that are required to submit a background screen as a condition of their membership will need to go through the USA Volleyball Background Screen application portal.
With the change to the new Member Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, members will no longer have a standard “membership card” that can be easily printed. We have transitioned to a “Digital” membership card. Members will be able to save their “card” to a Digital Wallet, like Apple Wallet or Google Pay. When their “card” is accessed from this source, members can show a QR code where a Club or Tournament Director can pull up the member’s verified status and information “on-demand”. To access – log in to your SportsEngine account; go to the “Household” section. Click the user profile of the member. The “Carolina Regional Volleyball” box for that person has an icon at top right that the member can click to add it to either Apple Wallet or Google Pay. See the image below for a sample picture of what this looks like inside the SE Household account:
See this SE Help article for more information on viewing memberships and adding to a digital wallet.
The one-event membership is commonly used as an “emergency” player at a tournament or for sanctioned clinics and camps. The one-event membership is good for five consecutive days from the start date the applicant enters during the registration process (it is important to put the correct start date for the event during the registration process). A member is limited to TWO one-event memberships per indoor season (if used for a tournament). If the player wishes to join as a member for the rest of the season, then the applicant should go to the registration page and go through the Quizzard again (or contact their indoor club for that club’s unique Public Club Assignment link). They will be offered applicable membership choices based on their answers. If they choose a full membership option, the system will give partial credit for ONE one-event membership fee already paid.
YES! With the move to a new Member Management System, hosted by SportsEngine, families will have the ability to have one account (one login) for one adult and all minor individuals of their Household. The Master account MUST be held by an adult/parent/guardian 18 or over. Once that account is created, when a membership link is selected from the Region’s Registration page, it will ask who the membership is for. At that point, the master account can choose either for the master account or someone else. If the Household account had not been created yet, you’ll be able to create a new person in the Household at that point. NOTE – the Master Account does not have to purchase a membership in order for other members of the household to have memberships. For more information on the Family Accounts, go here. If two or more adults 18 or older are needing to purchase a membership, then each adult will need their own separate SE account.
Yes! We have a one-event membership category. The one-event fee is $10 ($5 Region; $5 to USAV) and the membership will be valid for five consecutive days beginning on the start date the applicant enters during the registration process. The registration requirements for one-event are the same as for regular memberships. Register online, answer the quizzard questions indicating you will be playing for a limited time to be shown the one-event option, enter the start date for the event (IMPORTANT), and submit the payment. Registration is due at least one-week before the event as will all membership categories. You can also register one-event as late as Thursday before the event with a $5 late fee (invoiced through the MMS by the Region office). Individuals may only participate as a one-event member TWICE during the indoor season. If that individual wants to continue to participate in sanctioned events, they may go through the quizzard again and choose another member category. They will receive partial credit for the prior one-event membership purchase.
The Region will maintain a list of Unaffiliated Adult members on our website (full members only). Adult players can register with the Region (at regular fees) as unaffiliated. Adult teams in need of a player for a specific tournament can consult the list and contact players to pick up for that specific tournament. Unaffiliated players may play in THREE tournaments (with three different teams if it works out that way) while they are on the unaffiliated player list. After the THIRD tournament played, the player may choose which team they wish to register for the remainder of the season. Players must be listed on the roster of the team at the tournament as UNAFFILIATED PLAYER LIST. If interested in being on this list, register with the region (membership form and fee) and write “unaffiliated list” in the team name box. Contact the Region Office if you have more questions.
With the move to the USAV Membership Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, your Carolina Region/USA Volleyball membership number will look different than in the past. USAV is only using the Contact ID number as the Membership number. This number was the 7 digit number inside the old USAV membership number. The Contact ID for renewing members have been brought over to the new system as long as the member used the same name and birthdate that was in the old system. An example of what your Information will look like in your SE account profile is shown below (the member number is “111111” below):
The process of selecting a club in the USAV database has improved from previous seasons. CLUBS will send out a URL link to affiliate with their club for the next USA Volleyball season (called the Public Club Assignment link). The club only needs to send the Public Club Assignment link to a prospective player and this will add the player/coach to their Directory, allow them to buy a current season membership (if needed) and affiliate the player/coach with their club for the USAV indoor season so they may be added to a roster (this is binding and should only be accepted if you are sure you want to be with this club the entire USAV indoor season). You may receive invitations from multiple clubs (especially if trying out for more than one club). That is normal and you would just ignore the invitations from the clubs you do not want to affiliate with, and accept the invite of the one you will participate with. In addition to the Club invite from the MMS, clubs will also have the player sign a Carolina Region Letter of Commitment (LOC). This form is the only approved method for committing to a club for the USAV indoor season. Players should not sign the LOC or accept an online Invite in the MMS until they are sure they want to be with that club for the entire indoor season. For more on the MMS invite process, go here.

The club only needs to send the Public Club Assignment link to a prospective player and this will add the player/coach to their Directory, allow them to buy a current season membership (if needed) and affiliate the player/coach with their club for the USAV indoor season so they may be added to a roster (this is binding and should only be accepted if you are sure you want to be with this club the entire USAV indoor season). You may receive invitations from multiple clubs (especially if trying out for more than one club). That is normal and you would just ignore the invitations from the clubs you do not want to affiliate with, and accept the invite of the one you will participate with. In addition to the Club invite from the MMS, clubs will also have the player sign a Carolina Region Letter of Commitment (LOC). This form is the only approved method for committing to a club for the USAV indoor season. Players should not sign the LOC or accept an online Invite in the MMS until they are sure they want to be with that club for the entire indoor season. For more on the MMS invite process, go here.
Adults:
USA Volleyball has issued the following statement in answer to similar questions such as this:
“This is to confirm that only USA Volleyball background screenings are accepted for USAV and/or Region sanctioned events. Other organizations may choose to accept the USA Volleyball background screening as valid because they know that we hold to a high standard of safety. However, USA Volleyball and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) have a unique set of flags and disqualifiers that are monitored, and the USAV strategic priority of “Safety First” leads us to the conclusion that we need direct access to screening information in order to make the best decisions about the safety of our participants.”
For this reason, all applicants that are required to submit a background screen as a condition of their membership will need to go through the USA Volleyball Background Screen application portal.
With the change to the new Member Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, members will no longer have a standard “membership card” that can be easily printed. We have transitioned to a “Digital” membership card. Members will be able to save their “card” to a Digital Wallet, like Apple Wallet or Google Pay. When their “card” is accessed from this source, members can show a QR code where a Club or Tournament Director can pull up the member’s verified status and information “on-demand”. To access – log in to your SportsEngine account; go to the “Household” section. Click the user profile of the member. The “Carolina Regional Volleyball” box for that person has an icon at top right that the member can click to add it to either Apple Wallet or Google Pay. See the image below for a sample picture of what this looks like inside the SE Household account:
See this SE Help article for more information on viewing memberships and adding to a digital wallet.
The one-event membership is commonly used as an “emergency” player at a tournament or for sanctioned clinics and camps. The one-event membership is good for five consecutive days from the start date the applicant enters during the registration process (it is important to put the correct start date for the event during the registration process). A member is limited to TWO one-event memberships per indoor season (if used for a tournament). If the player wishes to join as a member for the rest of the season, then the applicant should go to the registration page and go through the Quizzard again (or contact their indoor club for that club’s unique Public Club Assignment link). They will be offered applicable membership choices based on their answers. If they choose a full membership option, the system will give partial credit for ONE one-event membership fee already paid.
YES! With the move to a new Member Management System, hosted by SportsEngine, families will have the ability to have one account (one login) for one adult and all minor individuals of their Household. The Master account MUST be held by an adult/parent/guardian 18 or over. Once that account is created, when a membership link is selected from the Region’s Registration page, it will ask who the membership is for. At that point, the master account can choose either for the master account or someone else. If the Household account had not been created yet, you’ll be able to create a new person in the Household at that point. NOTE – the Master Account does not have to purchase a membership in order for other members of the household to have memberships. For more information on the Family Accounts, go here. If two or more adults 18 or older are needing to purchase a membership, then each adult will need their own separate SE account.
Yes! We have a one-event membership category. The one-event fee is $10 ($5 Region; $5 to USAV) and the membership will be valid for five consecutive days beginning on the start date the applicant enters during the registration process. The registration requirements for one-event are the same as for regular memberships. Register online, answer the quizzard questions indicating you will be playing for a limited time to be shown the one-event option, enter the start date for the event (IMPORTANT), and submit the payment. Registration is due at least one-week before the event as will all membership categories. You can also register one-event as late as Thursday before the event with a $5 late fee (invoiced through the MMS by the Region office). Individuals may only participate as a one-event member TWICE during the indoor season. If that individual wants to continue to participate in sanctioned events, they may go through the quizzard again and choose another member category. They will receive partial credit for the prior one-event membership purchase.
The Region will maintain a list of Unaffiliated Adult members on our website (full members only). Adult players can register with the Region (at regular fees) as unaffiliated. Adult teams in need of a player for a specific tournament can consult the list and contact players to pick up for that specific tournament. Unaffiliated players may play in THREE tournaments (with three different teams if it works out that way) while they are on the unaffiliated player list. After the THIRD tournament played, the player may choose which team they wish to register for the remainder of the season. Players must be listed on the roster of the team at the tournament as UNAFFILIATED PLAYER LIST. If interested in being on this list, register with the region (membership form and fee) and write “unaffiliated list” in the team name box. Contact the Region Office if you have more questions.
With the move to the USAV Membership Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, your Carolina Region/USA Volleyball membership number will look different than in the past. USAV is only using the Contact ID number as the Membership number. This number was the 7 digit number inside the old USAV membership number. The Contact ID for renewing members have been brought over to the new system as long as the member used the same name and birthdate that was in the old system. An example of what your Information will look like in your SE account profile is shown below (the member number is “111111” below):
The process of selecting a club in the USAV database has improved from previous seasons. CLUBS will send out a URL link to affiliate with their club for the next USA Volleyball season (called the Public Club Assignment link).

An example of what your Information will look like in your SE account profile is shown below (the member number is “111111” below):
The process of selecting a club in the USAV database has improved from previous seasons. CLUBS will send out a URL link to affiliate with their club for the next USA Volleyball season (called the Public Club Assignment link). The club only needs to send the Public Club Assignment link to a prospective player and this will add the player/coach to their Directory, allow them to buy a current season membership (if needed) and affiliate the player/coach with their club for the USAV indoor season so they may be added to a roster (this is binding and should only be accepted if you are sure you want to be with this club the entire USAV indoor season). You may receive invitations from multiple clubs (especially if trying out for more than one club). That is normal and you would just ignore the invitations from the clubs you do not want to affiliate with, and accept the invite of the one you will participate with. In addition to the Club invite from the MMS, clubs will also have the player sign a Carolina Region Letter of Commitment (LOC). This form is the only approved method for committing to a club for the USAV indoor season. Players should not sign the LOC or accept an online Invite in the MMS until they are sure they want to be with that club for the entire indoor season. For more on the MMS invite process, go here.
- Regional Championship Event Questions:
USA Volleyball has issued the following statement in answer to similar questions such as this:
“This is to confirm that only USA Volleyball background screenings are accepted for USAV and/or Region sanctioned events. Other organizations may choose to accept the USA Volleyball background screening as valid because they know that we hold to a high standard of safety. However, USA Volleyball and the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) have a unique set of flags and disqualifiers that are monitored, and the USAV strategic priority of “Safety First” leads us to the conclusion that we need direct access to screening information in order to make the best decisions about the safety of our participants.”
For this reason, all applicants that are required to submit a background screen as a condition of their membership will need to go through the USA Volleyball Background Screen application portal.
With the change to the new Member Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, members will no longer have a standard “membership card” that can be easily printed. We have transitioned to a “Digital” membership card. Members will be able to save their “card” to a Digital Wallet, like Apple Wallet or Google Pay. When their “card” is accessed from this source, members can show a QR code where a Club or Tournament Director can pull up the member’s verified status and information “on-demand”. To access – log in to your SportsEngine account; go to the “Household” section. Click the user profile of the member. The “Carolina Regional Volleyball” box for that person has an icon at top right that the member can click to add it to either Apple Wallet or Google Pay. See the image below for a sample picture of what this looks like inside the SE Household account:
See this SE Help article for more information on viewing memberships and adding to a digital wallet.
The one-event membership is commonly used as an “emergency” player at a tournament or for sanctioned clinics and camps. The one-event membership is good for five consecutive days from the start date the applicant enters during the registration process (it is important to put the correct start date for the event during the registration process). A member is limited to TWO one-event memberships per indoor season (if used for a tournament). If the player wishes to join as a member for the rest of the season, then the applicant should go to the registration page and go through the Quizzard again (or contact their indoor club for that club’s unique Public Club Assignment link). They will be offered applicable membership choices based on their answers. If they choose a full membership option, the system will give partial credit for ONE one-event membership fee already paid.
YES! With the move to a new Member Management System, hosted by SportsEngine, families will have the ability to have one account (one login) for one adult and all minor individuals of their Household. The Master account MUST be held by an adult/parent/guardian 18 or over. Once that account is created, when a membership link is selected from the Region’s Registration page, it will ask who the membership is for. At that point, the master account can choose either for the master account or someone else. If the Household account had not been created yet, you’ll be able to create a new person in the Household at that point. NOTE – the Master Account does not have to purchase a membership in order for other members of the household to have memberships. For more information on the Family Accounts, go here. If two or more adults 18 or older are needing to purchase a membership, then each adult will need their own separate SE account.
Yes! We have a one-event membership category. The one-event fee is $10 ($5 Region; $5 to USAV) and the membership will be valid for five consecutive days beginning on the start date the applicant enters during the registration process. The registration requirements for one-event are the same as for regular memberships. Register online, answer the quizzard questions indicating you will be playing for a limited time to be shown the one-event option, enter the start date for the event (IMPORTANT), and submit the payment. Registration is due at least one-week before the event as will all membership categories. You can also register one-event as late as Thursday before the event with a $5 late fee (invoiced through the MMS by the Region office). Individuals may only participate as a one-event member TWICE during the indoor season. If that individual wants to continue to participate in sanctioned events, they may go through the quizzard again and choose another member category. They will receive partial credit for the prior one-event membership purchase.
The Region will maintain a list of Unaffiliated Adult members on our website (full members only). Adult players can register with the Region (at regular fees) as unaffiliated. Adult teams in need of a player for a specific tournament can consult the list and contact players to pick up for that specific tournament. Unaffiliated players may play in THREE tournaments (with three different teams if it works out that way) while they are on the unaffiliated player list. After the THIRD tournament played, the player may choose which team they wish to register for the remainder of the season. Players must be listed on the roster of the team at the tournament as UNAFFILIATED PLAYER LIST. If interested in being on this list, register with the region (membership form and fee) and write “unaffiliated list” in the team name box. Contact the Region Office if you have more questions.
With the move to the USAV Membership Management System (MMS) hosted by SportsEngine, your Carolina Region/USA Volleyball membership number will look different than in the past.
