How to Start a Club
The Club Director is the individual on each club who is responsible for ALL aspects of club management, including:
- Being the contact person between the Club and the Intermountain Region
- Ensuring that all necessary information, registration, documentation, money, accuracy of rosters, identification and age qualifications are forwarded to the region accurately and in a timely manner
- Advising the region of corrections and/or errors
- Provide completed rosters to tournament hosts before deadlines
- Assure all coaches meet USAV and Intermountain Region coaching requirements, including age, Background Screening, SafeSport certification, IMPACT certification and professionalism
How do I start a club?
Thinking about starting your own club? It’s actually pretty easy. Shoot the Region Office an email at info@imvolleyball.org for details on how you can get your club started.
You can also follow this step-by-step process.
You will need to get your club set up to ensure you have all you need to run your club with USA Volleyball this coming year.
First, you will need to register your club with our Region as a sanctioned club. See link below.
Club Registration Link for 24-25 Season:
Club Registration Form: https://intermountain-region-volleyball.sportngin.com/register/form/989606890
After you get your club registration link completed, we will be able to approve your club, then issue a Region Club Code (which will be used to register your teams for competitions in various registration systems like; TM2Sign, Sports Wrench, AES and others). This normally takes 2-3 days or faster, just depends on Sports Engine and their timing.
From there, you can register for your membership, get your background screening completed, and complete your SafeSport Certification. As the Club Administrator, you will have all backend access to your club. Your players and coaches will then also need purchase their membership (Membership Links Here). Coaches will need to also have their Background Screenings completed, SafeSport Certification, Impact Certification completed to participate in any USAV sanctioned event or practice.
There are many capabilities as the Club Administrator that are included in a link to the Club Director’s Playbook:

What do I need to know as a Club Director?
What do I need to know about tryouts?
Holding tryouts is an important part of creating a team each year, though they are NOT required.
