Rules

·        Many scheduling conflicts can arise in the spring. Conflicts known before the season must be submitted with the team registration. All requests for a re-schedule or TBA match must be submitted to the CYO office !

·        TBA's (To be announced) will be granted for school-related and parish-related functions only. TBA requests must be received by the registration deadline. Re-scheduling TBA matches are the responsibility of the coach who requested the TBA. CYO must be notified when TBA matches are re-scheduled.

·        Non-TBA games re-scheduled by both coaches will not be accepted and all games rescheduled without CYO authorization will result in forfeiture by both teams involved!

·        Requests to play a player up one grade division or more must be submitted with the team registration. Any request thereafter will not be considered.

·        It is strongly recommended that all uniform jerseys have numbers on the front and back. This will be required during tournament play.

·        Players on two separate teams represented by the same parish at the same grade level may be placed and participate on only one team roster all season, including playoffs!

·        All 7th and 8th grade girls will be divided by ability. The top sixteen teams will be divided into the AAA division with the remainder placed in the AA division. The teams in each division will be determined by the previous years' performance and will placed by the volleyball commission. There will be two separate playoff divisions and AAA and AA champions in both divisions. 5th and 6th grade divisions will be divided geographically and parishes/schools MUST divide teams equally when registering more than one team in these divisions.

·        In all divisions, six players will constitute a playing team.

·        4th graders are not allowed to play on a 5th grade team.
