Competition Levels At a Glance

Division Placement Reminder

Teams should not register for both Kids Power/Developmental and Club levels during the same season.

Teams should avoid registering for both club and power divisions during the season. Power teams who register for a club division must play 2 age groups higher. There are no restrictions for club teams registering for power tournaments, but club teams who finish in the Gold or Silver bracket in multiple power divisions may be required to move to Power divisions.

Rule of Thumb: If your team held tryouts, it likely belongs in the Club division or higher.

Online check-in will open approximately 6 days prior to each tournament, and will close 2 days prior to the tournament. 

Through the online check-in process, teams will need to verify that they have met tournament requirements and read PVA tournament policies, as well as provide a verified roster that includes all participants for the tournament. 

Individual tournaments may have additional check-in requirements, contact the host if you are unsure.
