Team Affiliations

Team affiliations track your player's club and team history across seasons. This progressive 4-step form guides you through selecting the season, finding or creating your club, choosing your team, and adding player-specific details. Watch for green checkmarks to track your progress through each section!

Pro Tip: Always search for existing clubs and teams before creating new ones. This connects your player with teammates already on the platform!

Start by choosing which season this team affiliation is for. The current season is marked for easy selection. You can add affiliations for past, current, and future seasons. This helps track your player's volleyball journey over time.

Season selection dropdown showing multiple years

Once you select a season, you'll see confirmation and move to the next step. The form reveals sections progressively with each section appearing only after completing the previous one keeping the process simple and organized.

Season selection confirmed, moving to club section

Search our database of 6,000+ clubs nationwide. Start typing your club name and matching results will appear. If your club exists, select it to connect with other players from your organization. If it doesn't exist, you can create a new club entry.

Club search interface
Important: Always search thoroughly before creating a new club. Duplicate clubs fragment the network and make it harder to find teammates.

When you search, matching clubs appear with their location. Review the results carefully and select your club if it's there. This connects your player to their club organization and enables discovery by teammates and recruiters.

Club search results showing matches

If your club isn't in our database, click 'Back to club search' and look for an option to create a new club. You'll enter the club name, city, state, and optionally a website URL. This adds your club to our growing network.

New club creation form
Pro Tip: Use the official club name (e.g., 'Skyline Volleyball Club' not 'Skyline VBC'). This makes it easier for others to find and prevents duplicates.
Important: Our platform will review the Club you add and will make sure it is a Club that is not currently on our platform. If we find a Club that is already on our platform we will merge them and join you into an already-existing Club.

Fill in all required club details. The club name should be the official name, and location should match where the club is based. The website is optional but helpful for researching your club's reputation.

Filled club creation form

After selecting your club, it's time to find your specific team. Teams are typically organized by age group and level (like '14U Black' or '16U National'). Search for your team, or create a new one if it's not listed. The form will only show teams from your selected club.

Choose your team from the search results. Teams show their age group, competitive level, and division. Select the correct team to ensure accurate stats tracking and teammate connections.

If your team doesn't exist yet, you can create it. Enter the team name (like '14U Black'), select the age group, competitive level, and division. This creates a new team entry that other teammates can join later.

New team creation form with team details
Pro Tip: Use consistent naming that matches your club's team names. This helps teammates find and join the same team entry.

Finally, add details specific to your player's role on this team. Enter their jersey number, position on this team, and indicate if they're a team captain. These details helps in understanding your player's role and leadership experience.
