2007 Adult National Entry Guidelines

 

For 2007, the USAV Adult National Championships will be held in Austin, TX.  If you have never been, talk to those teams and players that have been.  They will tell you that it is a great experience.

            It takes planning and commitment to attend and the entry deadline is early.  Failure to meet this deadline will mean that your entry will be put on a wait list for available room (there is a good chance that entries will be limited in the Club divisions this year).  The deadline is based upon the need for your application to be processed in the GEVA office and forwarded to the National office.
