Order of strength: Open, USA, Liberty, American
All 18s divisions are full. To be added to the wait list, please email Briana Johnson at briana@southernvolleyball.com
17’s and Below Information (General)
SEQ is a two-day invitational tournament for 17’s and below open divisions. Invitations have been extended and we expect the field to fill by the end of summer. However, it is possible that a few registered teams may drop, so it is important to be on the wait list if you would like to come but are not currently registered. Contact briana@southernvolleyball.com in this event.
SEQ has traditionally been able to attract most of the best teams from throughout the Southeast–from Louisiana, Memphis, D.C., Raleigh, Miami and every significant market in between. And owing to its National Qualifier status, we now attract clubs from all over the U.S.
Cost per Team
18’s 3-day National Qualifier: $825 per team.
17’s and below 2-Day: $495 per team
Recruiting
Historically we have nearly 200 college coaches scouting 15’s and above on GICC’s 28 courts. We ask that coaches stop by the registration desk, where they will be given a (free) wristband in exchange for their registering with us. The tournament is University Athlete-friendly.
Live Streaming of Event-BallerTV
Yes! We are partnering with Baller TV to provide TV coverage of this event. That means grandma and grandpa (and college coaches!) can watch from the comfort of their living rooms. Baller TV can be accessed through ballertv.com
Coaches Meeting
There will be no coaches meeting at this tournament. Rather, we welcome you to review the tournament website: www.southeastqualifier.com.
Admissions
$15/day
Ages 3 and under will be admitted for free.
Tickets will be sold in-person, at each venue the weekend of the tournament. CREDIT CARDS ONLY!
Wrist Bands
Coach wristbands will be given to a Coach or Team Representative at check in.
Coach wristbands are the same as spectator adult wristbands. The only way to remove them once they are properly put on is to cut them off.
These wristbands must be worn all three days of the tournament and MUST BE WORN ON THE WRIST. Wristbands that are put on backpacks, purses, or bags will be rejected by security and may require you to purchase an additional wristband for entry. Lost wristbands are not replaced for free; a new wristband must be purchased in this situation.
Teams are given wristbands for up to three coaches on every roster. Staff members who are displayed on multiple rosters will only be issued one wristband for the tournament. Team Representatives and Chaperones are not given wristbands.
Venues
15 Open, 16 Open, 17 Open and all 18s qualifier divisions will be playing at the Georgia International Convention Center (“GICC”), located near Atlanta’s airport — NOT to be confused with Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. The GICC location will eliminate the need for college coaches or out-of-town teams to rent vans and cars, and will likewise knock an hour or more off each leg of the trip.
13 and 14 Open Divisions will be competing at Suwanee Sports Academy. The venues are almost 50 miles apart so please book hotel rooms closest to your venue.
12 Open and 16/17 Power will compete at Tsunami Volleyball Center.
13/14 Power and 15/16 Power will compete at TK Volleyball Center.
