2010 Mizuno Northern Lights Power League Schedule

Coaches are responsible for reading both the Schedule and the Special Information section for each league date. Please note that although the dates for all leagues are listed here, information about a specific date may not be available until the Wednesday prior to that event. Please note that during the first 4 weeks of the power league, we have to do a large amount of work to properly seed teams and thus the schedule will often not be available until the Wednesday prior to the event.

The schedule will be posted immediately upon completion. If it is not posted, it is not done.

To make the schedule print out easier and nicer, we use Adobe Acrobat PDF format. If you need the Adobe Acrobat Reader, you may get it free by clicking on the Adobe image at the bottom of this screen. (You do not need to download the Adode Acrobat Reader each week.)

Note to all coaches, per North Country Region Rules: The head coach, assistant coach or a registered adult must be either the FIRST or SECOND referee who is registered with North Country Region USA Volleyball and has been to an official's clinic. Standing next to the referee stand does not count as being a first or second official.

Curtains and beams: In Midwest Volleyball Warehouse, the divider curtains between courts, the beam supporting the curtains, and the walls are out of bounds. The remainder of the ceiling is in bounds per USAV rules.

Uniforms:Due to the large number of people trying to get uniforms at the start of the season we will allow non matching uniforms during the first three weekends of January.

Northern Lights Power League & May Events Modified Rules

  • New Rules for 12's Division, Pool 1 Effective immediately: for any team in Pool 1 of the 12's division, there will be no short service line. All servers must serve from behind the normal end line. Also for teams in Pool 1, the rule limiting one server to a maximum of 3 serves and then rotate is being removed. These changes are only for teams in Pool 1. All teams from other pools still have the original power league rules. For bracket play days, the top bracket will use the new rules for the first round and for all matches involving teams that win their first match of the day. All matches involving teams in the top bracket that lose their first match of the day, and all other matches in all the other brackets, will use the old rules.
  • In Midwest Volleyball Warehouse, the divider curtains between courts, the beam supporting the curtains, and the walls are out of bounds. The remainder of the ceiling is in bounds per USAV rules.
  • The Libero is permitted to serve in all age divisions of the Power League except the Open Division.
