Frequently Asked Questions
Please read these before you send a question,
most of the time, the answers below can answer your questions.
1. How much is a membership and
how long does it last?
This year, membership is $40 a year single
and $55 a year for a family. The year runs from 4/1 - 3/31.
This includes your outdoor and indoor memberships for VBA. You
can get a form at any of our tournaments or open play nights.
2. I used to play volleyball and haven't
for a while. What do you suggest I do to get involved again?
Try going out to some of our open play nights. There,
you can assess your abilities against everyone else's. Plus,
you can meet people to play with at your level and find out more
about where to play in the area. In summer, go to our
sand courts see the outdoor page for the schedule, in winter, head
over to our leagues and open play nights.
3. I need a schedule, how can
I get one?
Easy, go to our
outdoor page and click on our schedule. A link is provided.
If you need an indoor schedule, go to the Southern
Region Page.
4. Why should I pay $40 to play
volleyball?
VBA uses your membership to maintain the sand
courts in Virginia Highlands. We are working towards installing
a wall along Arcadia to improve the facility. We usually get
new sand every year, maintain the net systems and a place to store
them, ref stands and the area around the courts, we contribute to
the neighborhood watch. We also use your membership to run
leagues, clinics and open play in winter. Check out our news
page to see what we are doing for the membership this year.
5. I want to join a team.
Can you place me on a team?
VBA is a club. We do not have
teams with which we place members on upon joining. Alternately,
we offer open plays in which you can meet many of our members.
If you feel like forming a USAV (competitive) team at that point,
that is fine with us. You are also free to create your own
league team when we offer league play. We are affiliated with several
leagues around town and refer player to those league coordinators
to find a team or players. Jump to the Indoor page for more information
and links to leagues around Atlanta.
6. I or my child would like to
play juniors, how can I join?
Juniors season runs November through June. Juniors
is for girls and boys ages 12-18 who are enrolled in school. Tryouts
are during November or December each year by the many clubs in the
Altnata area. Check with your high school coach for information
on tryouts or check out our web page in November. Please read
our juniors page for the appropriate
contact persons.
