How are these funds used?
Funds are used to defray the costs of providing benefits throughout the season. Most NCVF conferences for both men and women will be including this fee as part of its annual conference dues structure, eliminating the need for teams to make a separate payment. Conferences will then be responsible to forward yearly team fees on to the NCVF. Independent teams (including the majority of women’s teams) and teams who do not have the $50 payment included in their league dues will be responsible to make payment on line when registering on the NCVF web site.
Approximately half the funds collected will be used to pay for the creation and operation of the interactive web based team registration system that will benefit all registered teams, regardless of whether the team participates in the NCVF National Collegiate Club Tournament. The other half of the funds will be used to pay for the NCVF’s year-long operating and benefit costs. The NCVF yearly budget and a report detailing all yearly revenue and expenses will be available to all NCVF members and their respective school administrators.
All registration fees collected by the NCVF will ONLY be used to support collegiate club volleyball. The $50.00 registration fee amount was voted upon and approved by over 20 men’s and women’s club commissioners and player representatives at the June 2009 NCVF Annual Meeting (Chicago).
