3. SURVA Purple Card Policy-Click here
In order to promote good sportsmanship and as a complement to the Region Zero Tolerance Policy, the Board of Directors have added a proactive spectator control measure designed to curb borderline spector behavior before it escalates. Please have your club supporters read and follow the Purple Card Policy so they realize poor spectator behavior could ultimately penalize the team.
*Please refer to the Tournament Handbook & Region Handbook under the Handbooks and Manuals tabs for more information on other club, team and participant requirements.
**Consult the USAV/SURVA Policies page under the Club Directors tab for recent important USAV and SURVA policies.
