If you attended this year’s PVI in any capacity, we’d love to receive your feedback. You can send it in using this short form.
We have also begun exploring the idea of running a fall PVI sometime in early September or early October of this year at the Oxbow in Northampton, MA. This event would be in addition to PVI2026, which will be taking place on May 16th and 17th, 2026.
We’re in the very early planning stages and would like to hear from anyone who has any interest in attending a fall PVI. This event could have one and two day-long divisions, possible ranging from Middle School through High School. Female-Matching, Open, and Mixed divisions are all on the table.
Please fill out this short survey if you have any interest in attending a fall PVI.
Thanks once again for making the PVI2025 so magical! We absolutely loved hosting y’all!
We’re already at work planning for PVI2026 (May 16th and 18th, 2026!) and one of the ways you can help improve the event is by sending in your feedback using this form. We’d love feedback from anyone that attended the event in any capacity: players, coaches, support crew, parents, spectators… anyone that was there! Please share the link with your whole community!
VC’s online PVI merch store is online here and will close in a little less than 3 days! Make sure to get your order in before the deadline!
Thanks to Karin’s super hard work, all of the written spirit comments we received on spirit scoresheets were typed out. We just finished emailing those comments out to all teams. As always, you can check the complete spirit score standings here.
Here are photos of everything that was in lost and found. If you see something you’d really like to get back, please email Noel (noelraley@yahoo.com). Items not claimed by Monday, 5/26 will be donated.
As always, it’s hard even for us to fully understand all the awesome ways the PVI comes together. One of our favorite ways to make the attempt is to watch flyover footage:
Once again: Thank you, thank you, thank you!
See you in 2026!
