Yankee Volleyball Association hosts scramble tournaments for new and existing members in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Scramble tournaments are full day events held to help grow Yankee's memberships and to give new members an opportunity to get a taste of how a tournament is run and what to expect. This session, Yankee will be holding scramble tournaments in Massachusetts and Connecticut for both Men and Women.
How it works?
Players sign up as an individual and are placed on a team with experienced and new players based on their position and Yankee ranking. All participants will receive a numbered T-shirt and a full day of play for $25/person. You have until Wednesday before the scramble to pull out with a refund. If you pull out after Wednesday, your will receive a refund only if your spot is filled.
All players need to be NERVA members and you can sign up at the scramble or any other Yankee tournament. If you don't have a Yankee rating, you can get one on the day of the tourney as well.
The format for scramble tournaments are similar to traditional tournaments with a 9:00 a.m. start time, pool play and playoffs. Everyonemust show up by 8:30 a.m. to register, pick up jerseys and to sign up for NERVA/USAV membership if you are new.

Greetings all,
I'm just back from a brief vacation and want to get to work filling our first Women's C+ tournament of the season. Of course it's at CT Sportscenter in Woodbridge CT. It will be on October 18th the cost is $160 per team.
My last email does look like I'm running a B-, C- and C+ tournament. Please be advised the level of the tournaments are Men's B, Men's C and Women's C+
Check out www.yankee.org there's lots of info. Basically they rate every player individually to make more playing opportunities for everyone.
Some examples- I'm a c due to my knowlege of the game and my general ability to play. Hurler is a c+ because he is a b- hitter/blocker at the net and a c in the backcourt. Most of the guys I've seen you play with would be in the c- to c+ range. That's perfectly acceptable for a c tournament. -J
