REFRESH YOUR BROWSER.  Be sure to refresh your browser when checking our practice schedule. Our practice schedule can change often, sometimes at the very last minute, so please always check it before leaving home. Because we use school facilities, if something comes up at the last minute and the school needs to cancel our practice, they may do so because their activities would take precedence over ours. No food or drinks, except water bottles, are allowed inside the gyms.

UPGRADE YOUR USAV MEMBERSHIP.  If you have not upgraded your USAV membership in Webpoint from the $5 tryout membership to the full junior membership, please do that now. The upgrade fee for most of our players (except our 10 and 11 year olds) is $67. Before we can enter any tournament, especially the important Power League, PNQ, and all the May multi-day tournaments which have entry deadlines in Dec, we must form teams and team rosters first. However, I cannot add a player to a team roster until that player has upgraded their USAV membership. This is a show stopper, please go into webpoint now and upgrade to the full junior membership and pay the $67 upgrade fee.

When you have successfully completed this important step, you will notice that your membership expiration date will change to August 31, 2018. To upgrade your USAV membership, click here, then enter your username and password. Also, when you upgrade, please select Spanaway VBC in the club field. Our club name is Spanaway VBC. You will not find Power Surge listed in the club field as Power Surge is our team name.

WORLD'S FINEST CANDY FUNDRAISER - DEC THRU APR 
Our candy fundraiser runs from Dec thru Apr, assuming there is at least 50 boxes of orders each month. This fundraiser is for all Power Surge players to raise money to help pay for their tuition/fees. For our Black teams, profits from this fundraiser will go directly toward their May tuition. For all other teams, profits from this fundraiser will go towards their base tuition.

In December only, everyone is required to sell 2 boxes of candy and so we will automatically order 2 boxes of candy for every player. If you don't want to sell them, you may find someone else on your team or in our club who is willing to sell them for you, in which case they will get all credit from the proceeds. However, all such transfers must be coordinated with and through your team's candy rep.

Starting in Jan, players may opt out of the candy fundraiser. If you wish to opt out, you must inform your candy team rep by the last practice in December (and every end of the month thereafter), when you turn-in your Dec candy monies.  If you don't, two boxes of candy will automatically be ordered for you the following month and you will be responsible for paying the full retail value of $120 for both boxes.

So for players on our Black teams who opt out, they must pay $60 each month they opt out, to cover their May tuition. For players on our gold teams who opt out, they do not pay the $60 because as a Regional team, their season ends in April and they will not be playing in May. However, gold players may continue to sell candies each month and proceeds will go towards their base tuition. For our 12s and practice only players who opt out, they must pay $60 each month as proceeds from this candy fundraiser goes toward their base tuition. All candy monies and opt out fees must be turned in to your candy team rep.

Team reps will issue the boxes of candies, collect monies, and keep track of candies/monies/opt out fees for their team each month. Each bar/box of World's Finest cost $2 each, there are 30 bars per box which comes to $60 full retail value per box. Players get 50% or $30 per box credited towards their tuition, the other $30 per box pays for the candy. Candy monies for 2 boxes total $120, and are due to your team reps on or before the last practice day in December, and each month thereafter. Players may also sell more than 2 boxes in a month, however, they must order additional boxes through their team rep.

When you turn in your monies each month, please also let your team rep know if you are opting out the next month or if you want to order additional boxes. Players may also order/sell 1 box, pay the $30 opt out fee to cover the 2nd box, and turn-in $90 ($60 for selling 1 box, $30 for opting out on the 2nd box) in a particular month. If any additional boxes of candies are sold, credit will go towards a players tuition.
