NO  DOUCHEBAGS  POLICY

One signature rule we enforce at our Elevate Tournaments is NO DOUCHEBAGS ALLOWED.  You can be competitive, talk trash, get hyped, etc.  But, don't be a dick about it.  Once the game is over, do not be aggressive or "deal" with the opponent.  You will be given a warning for the first offense of Douchey Behavior, and the second time, you will be asked to leave without refund.  Please immediately report all incidents to me and the Tournament Director.  Team Captains, please keep your players in check!

UNIFORMS  REQUIRED

We are excited to announce that All Volleyball will be providing a 15% DISCOUNT on their personalized Custom Fuze uniforms to all teams participating in our tournament!  You can customize your own jerseys, shorts, long sleeves, and hoodies with their amazing online customize software that's easy to use!  Here's how to order your uniforms:

1. Complete team registration
2. Create a personalized uniform with the Custom Fuze software
3. Email CoachDonny@elevateyourself.org with your team name to confirm registration with subject "Custom Fuze Jerseys"
4. There is a 14 day minimum turnaround time from the day you place your order.​

We strive to provide a professional and high level experience for all teams, so each team must have matching jerseys and shorts that meet standard uniform guidelines (color and design must match for non-libero players, visible numbers on the front and back, contrasting color for libero jersey).  We plan on hosting another Elevate Volleyball Tournament in the summer so, you can use the same jerseys for each tournament.    

LEVEL  DESCRIPTIONS

Please honestly rank your teams so we can accurately seed pools, so everyone can have the best experience possible.
