Age Groups & Waiver Policy

Delta Region Age Waiver Policy 2011-2012

Age waivers will be granted to junior players within the Delta Region, to play in the next lower age group only.  For example, a 15 year old junior player that is in the 9^th grade and whose birthday is prior to Sept. 1 of the following year may apply for a waiver to play with her 9^th grade classmates for the upcoming season.  These waivers will be valid only within the Delta Region and will not be valid at the national level.   

Other regions MAY choose to allow the participation of age waived players. Contact the individual Tournament Director to check on the eligibility of waived players within the region you will be playing.  If an outside region does not accept waived players then said player may not participate in sanctioned tournaments within that region unless the player plays with her age appropriate team as directed by the USAV Age Definitions.

Age-waivered players may also not participate in the Delta Region Bid Qualifier, any National Qualifier or the Junior Olympic National Championships unless the player plays with her age-appropriate team.
