MidSouth Power League
On behalf of Fatchmo Volley, I would like to personally welcome you to the second year of the MidSouth Power League (MSPL). The MSPL has been created to allow teams another opportunity to play volleyball in a competitive atmosphere without the expense and time associated with traveling to more tournaments. This season, matches will take place at the Don Owens Sports Complex in Conway and also at the North Little Rock East Campus.
I'm open to your feedback on how to improve the MSPL. Let's cheer on all athletes as they participate!

Additional Info
The 2011-2012 MidSouth Power League will be divided into age groups typical of any tournament. We may combine two age groups into one division to complete a pool. For instance, 17's/18's may compete against each other.
Non-matching uniforms may be used at the first event if your club uniforms have not yet arrived. Otherwise, approved USAV uniforms are required.
The Fatchmo Volley MidSouth Power League is sanctioned by the Delta Region of USAV and open to all registered teams.
Format may be adjusted should the ideal number of teams not be reached per age group. Our goal is to have pools of 4 in order to play as much as possible!
ONLY WATER BOTTLES FOR PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED INSIDE THE FACILTY.
No special requests for participation in a specific Wave can be approved due to the nature of the schedule. The Libero is permitted to serve. All other Delta Region rules apply.
