All players that participate in SandYard events must have a current AVP Membership:

Club players need the $25 Silver membership

Juniors cannot get their own membership. In order for parents to be aware of their child’s volleyball activities, the AVP has instituted a system where a parent first gets a FREE Basic membership. The parent can then register the player and link the player’s account to their own page. Here are procedures for creating a new AVP account or renewing an old account:

Creating a New U18 Account

1. Create a Basic (free) membership for yourself (The parent) at:
