It is very important to know that Buckeyefire Volleyball holds 'FULLY SANCTIONED' tryouts as a member of the Ohio Valley Region and the USAV. The following steps are a requirement to providing our players with a fully certified, background checked, and educated staff with ample insurance from these large organizations. If a club is not requiring these steps and providing this information, those benefits are likely not being provided.
