ues, there would be no offi cials and club coaches would be left to offi ciate their own matches all season.
The third trend is one that
many are aware of — the cost of club volleyball. While there is not a quick solution to this issue as club directors have clubs to run with facility costs, coaches’ pay etc., the CEVA as a region has similar fi nancial responsibilities. The CEVA Junior Girls’ Committee has requested addi- tional funds from CEVA to assist teams that qualify for the USA Volleyball Girls’ Junior National Championships (GJNC). This is an understandable request given the fact that 14 CEVA teams competed at USAV GJNC in 2016, up from a previous high of four.
region hopes that the “Blue Ribbon Club” program is another tool for its members to use to help with this change.

Along with this we are also aware that the majority of our CEVA clubs do not attend USAV GJNC so we want to assist those clubs as well. The three main issues of decreasing coaching
and offi cials’ numbers, and the high cost of club volleyball combined to work as the catalyst for
the CEVA “Blue Ribbon Club” program. The region examined these issues and put together a program that it believes will appeal to a broad range of clubs, that is incentive-based rather than punishment- based, and can have a positive impact for everyone while addressing some of the most pressing issues for the CEVA region. The
A list of Blue Ribbon Club criteria has been developed by the CEVA that are meant to help reverse the three negative trends impacting the region. Among the criteria are: a club handbook that includes USAV Spectator/Parent Code of Conduct and USAV Junior Club Personnel Code of Conduct; clubs having fi rst and second-year coaches offi ciate a scrimmage or match situation with a certi- fi ed CEVA head offi cial present for feedback; coaches attending coaches’ meeting prior to all CEVA friendship/power leagues; indi- vidual club coaches having zero red cards and players no more than two yellow cards; and more. Among the perks of being a
Blue Ribbon Club are cost savings back to the club, including entry fees to GJNCs waived up to $500 or eligibility for refunds to the CEVA Regional Championships if not attending GJNC. For more details on the CEVA blue Ribbon Club program, visit
