Find us all during the event and say hi! Call us with questions!
Some number for y’all:
55 Teams, 6 states, 2 provinces, 19 fields, 1,020 players, 161 games, 20 acres, just under 4 miles of painted lines.
The big thing: Know the tournament schedule and program! Know where your team needs to be at what time. Understand how the schedule works. Understand how the event works.
Some important items:
- Be careful on Island Road. Drive slow. Only park at the fields. Minimize trips to and from the fields.
- Please know the schedule.
- Please know the program.
- Some of these fields are being used for the first time today since the spring floods, so there could be debris or trash on the fields. Please have your teams line up on the back end zone line and walk the entire field to pick up anything that shouldn’t be there before you start your first game.
- Start and cap your games on time.
- No softcaps
- No horns
- Text in your scores to Karin at 617-797-5627.
- All games must be played except the Saturday crossover games. Crossover games can be skipped if BOTH teams agree AND they get permission from Josh.
- Please set alarms on your phones for hard cap.
- No dangerous plays, spiking, poor language, or bad behavior. At all. Just don’t. I will eject your entire team.
- Bring full water bottle each day. We’ll have water towers all over the place, but anything you can do to help would be appreciated.
- Weather: 5 horn blasts = get to your cars, wait for call/5 horn blasts. Text/@PVInvite/Email will be sent out with updates.
- Keep sidelines clear. Nothing, at all — even players! — within 3 feet of any sideline. All hard objects — tents, chairs, must be at least 7 yards from any sideline. That means most chairs and tents will need to be out the back of endzones.
- You’ll find water on the sidelines. If your jugs are empty please contact Michael Filas at (413) 320-8836.
- Gatorade and extra food is at tourney central.
- When you leave a sideline, please leave it cleaner than you found it.
- This year, we are banning all disposable plastic water bottles, Gatorade bottles, and single-serve cups. This is a BYOB (Bring Your Own Bottle) event.
- Opponent late? Assess a point for every 3 minutes they are late.
- A chaperone must be with your team at ALL times. You cannot leave your team unattended at any tournament location or event.
- Please, please, please return your completed spirit score sheet prompt at the end of your games on Saturday and Sunday.
- Please drive carefully on Island road! 15mph at the most!
- Thank you sponsors: VC, Henshaw Farms, Friction Gloves, Northampton HS Athletics, and most importantly the Oxbow Marina.
- Please make sure you promptly report your game and spirit scores after each round to Karin at 617-797-5627.
- We have AMAZING merch made by VC! Make sure to visit the tent!
- The next PVI will take place on May 13th and 14th, 2023!
Have an AWESOME WEEKEND!
