===============

For those listed above, your next steps are the following:

- if you choose not to participate, please email Ron at primetimevolleyball@gmail.com by noon on Wed Mar 23. We will cancel any scheduled payments and provide the refund (minus tryout fee) as communicated previously via email.

===============

PRACTICE GROUP:

- if you choose to participate, and you're noted as part of the PRACTICE GROUP, then you need to get your USAV membership.  Prime Time apparel is required at practices once apparel comes in so that's up to you whether you need to buy anything new or not.

USAV Registration (Practice Teams): 

https://memberships.sportsengine.com/buy/11ed242f-4afd-c546-8414-1eb7a7794beb/who

$14.50 for instruction.  If you have questions, please contact Ron, but he will likely need to connect you with the USAV Region office in Chicago if there's an issue or concern he can't assist with.

Apparel (Practice Teams):

See below for optional apparel for the girls as well as a fan store.

==============

TOURNAMENT TEAMS:

- if you choose to participate, and you're noted on the TOURNAMENT TEAMS, then you need to get your USAV membership below and apparel ordered as the next steps. 

**NOTE 1 -- there is one change to the tournament schedule where our teams continued to be on the *wait list* for the final tournament at Navy Pier June 9-11 so we replaced it with a different tournament in Aurora June 2-3 (see the tournament link here:  https://www.primetimevbc.org/page/show/1939872-tournament-schedules).

**NOTE 2 -- a few of our teams continue to be on a wait list for two tournaments -- we hope to get confirmation that they are all accepted soon, but if a modification is needed, we'll let you know as soon as possible.

USAV REGISTRATION (Tournament Teams):

https://memberships.sportsengine.com/buy/11ed242c-4693-a64a-b77b-f6dda18a22cd/who

The price says $60 but there is a $20 discount applied at the end of the registration for our Junior High players so you will only be charged $40. Keep in mind this is paying for your United States Volleyball Association membership so this is not a registration with Prime Time nor is the money coming to us.  If you have questions, please contact Ron, but he will likely need to connect you with the USAV Region office in Chicago if there's an issue or concern he can't assist with. You can reach them directly at greatlakesvolleyball@glrvb.com.

APPAREL:

https://bodynsolesports.printavo.com/merch/primetimejhuniform2023

The Apparel Store will close Thu Mar 23. If an order is placed after this time, Body N Sole can not guarantee jerseys will arrive in time for the first tournament.

Apparel requirements for tournaments are:
    - 1 white jersey
    - 1 navy jersey
    - solid navy spandex, shorts or leggings

When you order the jerseys, you must include 3 jersey # options.  Dri-Fit practice shirts, spandex and a car decal are provided as optional additional items.  We ask that after apparel is delivered that all players wear something with Prime Time on it to practice.  The Dri-Fit practice shirts, Park District or VolleyKids program shirts or the jerseys themselves are all acceptable.

If you have Prime Time JH/Youth jerseys from last season and do not need to purchase new ones, please email your child’s name, grade and number on jerseys (i.e. #14) to Ron at primetimevolleyball@gmail.com

If you have JH/Youth jerseys but plan to purchase new ones, please follow the same instructions as new players.  Please be mindful that the jerseys are not the same as the High School teams so if you've borrowed from a previous Prime Time family, please make sure they are the correct ones.

You will also find a link to the Fan Store page on the web site which will close on Mar 26.  Nothing is required, but you can get additional apparel for your child playing or for the family.  I will note that the bag and then something long sleeve to wear at tournaments are what I hear kids say they appreciate most.  The link is here as well:  https://bodynsolesports.printavo.com/merch/ptfanwear2023
