As an adult, you need to acquire an Adult Player Membership to play in any affiliated adult tournaments with Excelsior Empire (XL) and USA Volleyball (USAV). The breakdown of the membership is $10 to XL and $25 to USAV totaling $35 per year. You must renew this membership annually and can be acquired here.

All memberships are purchased via SportsEngine, who is our platform to keep track of all our members. There are two membership packages available to choose from:

• Single Tournament Membership ($25 total)
  
  • Valid for one tournament
• Full Season Membership ($35 total)
  
  • Valid for the full indoor season (ends 8/31/25)
  • Payment gives you the ability to play in all XL tournaments 
    
    

FULL SEASON | SINGLE TOURNAMENT MEMBERSHIP

Nope! If you have already obtained a USAV membership, you only need to acquire an XL membership to play in affiliated tournaments. To do this, follow the same links above, being sure to uncheck the “USAV” membership cost before checkout.

• Yes, most Excelsior affiliated tournaments still require a registration fee. This money, just like with any other tournament, is put toward prizes or may be used for fundraising depending on the tournament hosts. 
• Although paying for a membership and individual tournament registrations may seem redundant, the upfront cost of a $35.00 membership for the full season pays for itself, especially for players who are looking to play tournaments regularly.

• Membership gives you access to play and host Excelsior Empire adult tournaments
• Included portion of USA Volleyball Membership can be paired with other adult regional memberships of our neighboring regions, like NERVA (Yankee Volleyball) and GEVA.
