Volleyball Players Wanted for Spalding Junior Tour
Volley America has put together a great program for junior beach volleyball players in Florida. Currently, there are nine volleyball organizations in Florida that are running beach volleyball events as part of the Volley America Junior Program. 
The Florida Region will host a Regional Championship that will award bids to the Volley America Junior Nationals, held on Aug 1-2 in Pt. Pleasant, NJ. Bid winners will be able to submit traveling expenses incurred for nationals to Volley America for reimbursement. Exact amounts for travel reimbursement will be announced in March. Local Florida organizations will award bids to the Florida Regionals at their regularly schedule events. The groups awarding bids include First Coast Volleyball Association (FCVA) in Jacksonville, Sandbox VB in Cocoa Beach, Ocala Beach Volleyball, Rockstar Promotions in St. Petersburg, and VB Beach/Steve Grotowski Camps in Southern Florida.
The Volley America Junior Grand Prix awards the top 15 players of each junior division (Boys & Girls 18U, 16U, 14U, 12U) a prize at the end of the calendar year. Players have the opportunity to win Grand Prix points throughout the year at your local Volley America tournaments. Points are based on a player’s tournament results. Every tournament awards points, and they are cumulative. The more events you play in, the more points you earn! Details are online at www.volleyamerica.com/custom.aspx?id=2.
All tournaments will be played with the Spalding Beach Volleyball. Players compete for a chance to win merchandise prizes from tournament sponsors 4C Totally Light 2Go, Spalding, Rider Sandals, Reflekt Polarized, Sprout Watches, ZEMgear, Sports Authority, Park & Sun net systems, Dig Magazine, Horry County, Spike Key Beach, Red Roof Inns and South Shore Outdoors.
Volley America would also like to announce a new partnership with CORA Health Services. CORA is a rehabilitation and sports medicine company with multiple locations throughout Florida. CORA has provided sports medicine coverage for several volleyball organizations and events, including the AVP tournament in St. Petersburg in 2013 and 2014. Their team of highly trained staff will be present at Volley America tournaments to assist athletes with both acute injuries and chronic issues to ensure that players are able to compete at top performance.
Volley America and all of our Florida organizations are working together to bring players the best, coordinated program available. With a national ranking system, local tournaments feeding into Junior Regionals, feeding into Junior Nationals, with travel reimbursements for bid winners, with better prizes and a Grand Prix program, Volley America sanctioned events will be the most popular events in Florida this coming 2015 summer season.
