BVA’s 17th Annual Jr. Hi Neighbor Tournament
- Asheville, North Carolina & Surrounding Areas
- 138 Teams in attendance last year
- Registration opens December 1, 2012
Welcome to beautiful Asheville, NC for the 17th Annual Jr Hi Neighbor Volleyball Tournament. The Jr. Hi Neighbor was started by the Asheville Parks & Recreation Department in 1997 as a spin off from the Adult Hi Neighbor. It is the first 2-day volleyball tournament in the Carolinas. The tournament is played in college, high school and recreation facilities in Buncombe and Henderson Counties. The tournament is held for girls’ ages 13-18 years old. Play begins each day promptly at 8:00 AM, with a coaches meeting on Saturday morning at 7:30 AM.
Tournament Format:
Competition will take place in six divisions- 12/13’s, 14’s, 15’s, 16’s, 17’s and 18’s. Each division is seeded according to team’s power ranking in their region. Then the divisions are set up in 4 team pools for Wave 1. Wave 1 will be complete after the 2:00 PM match on Saturday. Wave 2 pools will be established, and play will resume around 3:00 PM. Wave 2 play will continue through match 4 on Saturday evening. The final 2 matches of Wave 2 will be completed on Sunday morning. All teams are guaranteed 6 matches in Pool Play and 1 match in bracket play.
Once Pool Play is complete teams will be seeded based on their pool play rankings; play will then move into a single elimination play-off bracket around 11:00 AM Sunday.
Each division will have an Open Gold & Silver and Club Gold & Silver Playoff Brackets. You will be placed in the open or club playoff bracket based on how your team does in wave 1 & wave 2. By offering this it gives each team more chances to win a division (we give out 4 prizes in each division: winner of open gold, open silver, club gold & club silver) with the winner of each receiving championship t-shirts.
Tournament Traditions:
The Jr Hi Neighbor has a long standing tradition of exchanging gifts at the net. We do the gift exchange during each match of play in Wave 1 and 2. The gift exchange does not continue into the play-off bracket. We recommend each team bring approximately 70 gifts for the tournament. The spaghetti supper and dance, other longtime Jr Hi Neighbor traditions, have been discontinued due to cost.
