Need to Update Club Affiliation?

If your child has completed the tryout process and you are now needing to update the club affiliation from Undecided to the club of your choice, you will first need to log in to your child’s account. If you click on the “Webpoint” graphic at the upper right hand corner of our website or the “Webpoint Login” link on the left navigation menu under “Links”, this will take you to a login page. After logging in to the account, please click on the “My Information” tab. The next screen will provide member info and on the right side, it says “Club” with a dropdown menu next to it. Select the appropriate club from the choices provided. Please make sure you’ve made the selection before scrolling, as sometimes you can mistakenly toggle between clubs. Once selected, click on “Edit Contact Info” at the bottom of the screen.

NOTE: Once you’ve picked a club in Webpoint, you will not be able to change the selection.  If a change is needed, the region office will have to make that change and only after verifying with the initial club that an offer and acceptance document was not executed.

Junior Club Director Meeting 9/18/11

The annual meeting of the junior club directors of the North Texas Region will meet on Sunday, September 18, 2011 at the Doubletree Hotel near the Galleria, 4099 Valley View Ln, Dallas, TX 75244. The meeting will take place at 2:30pm in the South Salon (room assignment subject to change).

The meeting will include Election of Board Members as part of its agenda. Four At-Large positions (two year terms), one At-Large position (one year term), and two Junior Representatives to the Region Board (two year terms) will be elected at this meeting. All clubs represented at the meeting will vote for these positions. Appointed positions will be selected by the Junior Coordinator and will be approved by a majority of the Juniors Board of Directors at the meeting that will follow. The term for appointed positions is one year.

To be considered for elected positions, interested parties should send a resume by 11:59pm, Sunday, September 11, 2011. Those nominated (can be self-nominated) must be members of the North Texas Region, in good standing with a junior club. A club can not have more than one representative filling the At-Large positions. Those failing to submit a resume will not be considered. Resumes should be emailed to elections@ntrvolleyball.us.

Clubs are required to send a representative to this meeting. If you can not attend, you may send a proxy, provided you send an email providing the proxy’s name (or have them bring something in writing to the meeting). The proxy can be someone from your club or another club. Failure to send a representative will result in a fine of $250.

What’s New?

With the new membership year starting, there are bound to be questions about any new changes or policies that may have been overlooked. Here’s a rundown of the most significant changes:

 

Membership Types
In May 2011, the USAV Board voted to approve a few new membership options, which will hopefully promote growth. The new membership options the North Texas Region will be implementing this season include:

  • Collegiate Player ($15) – this membership will be for the adult player who is a full-time student at a collge/university. To be eligible, the member must be able to show proof of enrollment. Proof of enrollment must show the school, student and term (in most cases, IDs will not work). Once a membership has gone through the system, our staff will communicate with the member, asking for proof of enrollment. For those who plan to coach, they must register as a full adult member. Collegiate Players are eligible for national and championship events.
  • Outdoor Only ($20) – this membership will be for the junior or adult who wishes to participate solely in outdoor programming. It is a full year membership. For outdoor members who decide at some point to play indoor, they must upgrade to a full membership.
  • Other Youth 11 and Under ($10) – this membership will be for the junior player, 11 years of age and younger, who wishes to participate in regional programming.   Players must be born after 9/1/2000.  These participants can not travel outside the North Texas Region and are not eligible for any National Qualifier or Championship event. For those who decide at a later date to participate with a travel team, they must upgrade their membership to a full member.
  • Other Youth 8 and Under (FREE) – this membership will be for the junior player, 8 years of age and younger, who wishes to participate in regional programming.  Players must be born after 9/1/2003.  These participants can not travel outside the North Texas Region and are not eligible for any National Qualifier or Championship event.  For those who decide at a later date to participate with a travel team, they must upgrade their membership to a full member.

All other membership options remain in place, with no changes in fee structure.

 

Registration/Webpoint Updates

From season to season,the developers of Webpoint, the registration system used by NTR, make changes that provide a better user experience.  Some of these updates include:

  • During the registration process, junior players will not be able to select a club. After the tryout dates have passed and the family has made a club choice, Webpoint may be accessed to update club affiliation. Adult members will still be able to use Undecided for players or specific clubs for coaches.
  • When a member needs to print their membership card, he/she will no longer be required to scroll through and print the electronically-signed documents. They will be able to print just the card.
  • For members needing to sign up for various events, we will be using Webpoint for some of these registrations. Right now, some of these clinics may include IMPACT, region run score and ref clinics and officials clinics. Registration will be managed through the Event Registration tab in Webpoint.
