About Volleyball: Organizations
- GEVA is the key regional
governing body for volleyball in New Jersey and downstate New York. Its
website is a solid resource of information on activities and programs in the
area. GEVA is
particularly relevant to DIGS as it oversees clubs (officers, coaches,
chaperones, players) and referees. GEVA also sponsors many of the
tournaments DIGS and competing clubs participate in. Check out the
Juniors: Girls' Home page: changes are being made regarding
tournaments and special programs that reflect new ideas and ongoing improvements.
- USA Volleyball
(USAV) is the national governing body for volleyball in the United
States. GEVA is one of many regions in USAV. There is a dedicated section for
Juniors Indoor volleyball that is useful in regards to national and
qualifying tournaments and national volleyball training programs.
- USA Volleyball sponsors a high-profile program of camps and national
competition teams for particularly serious and talented players during
the late spring. This program is known as the
USAV High Performance Camps/Teams.
- The Federation
International Volleyball (FIVB) is the international governing body of
volleyball. It isn't particularly relevant to DIGS, but it is interesting
for those curious enough to look.
