AtlantaVolleyball.net Growth Strategies
AVN is working to build a strong resource and community to serve volleyball players, companies, and increase the sport's popularity. We intend to grow by providing valuable resources, tools, and valuable services to our site visitors and members. AVN has begun several strategic initiatives to reach these goals in Q4 2001:

• Member Management Application
  AVN is building an online member management system for players and clubs. Members will be able to create custom profiles to find teams and other players, easily register for tournaments, participate in AVN special programs, and receive (opt-in) special offers and news from AVN and key sponsors. Members will receive sponsor discounts and a welcome kit valued higher than membership fees.
• Tournament Management and Registration
  One of the hardest management issues volleyball clubs face is posting tournaments so that player can find and participate. AVN is the only comprehensive site for tournament postings for players to go to. To increase the timeliness, accuracy, and participation in tournament posting, AVN is building a dynamic application that will allow each registered club to post and manage tournaments online. Players will be able to quickly sort and search for tournaments, and register online. AVN plans on integrating special sponsor discounts into the tournament listing and registration. This includes referrals to the sponsor hotel, airline tickets, and rental cars with a discount offered through an AVN discount code.
• Email News and Special Offers
  AVN, clubs, and sponsors will have the ability to send periodic emails to AVN members. Members will choose the news and offers they wish to receive, and can be removed from mailings at any time. Direct mail and email campaigns will be available to sponsors following AVN privacy policies.

AtlantaVolleyball.net will work with you to determine the best arrangement for all groups. A strategic sponsor should be able to provide some or all of the following:

Team Sponsorship
AtlantaVolleyball.net will be sponsoring between 1 and 3 teams for the 2002 USAV season. The team travels regionally and nationally to tournaments. In the past, AVN sponsored Raz Ma Taz, one of the top AA Women's teams. Raz Ma Taz will not be playing this season, however some of the players will be forming a new team under AtlantaVolleyball.net, and will be the first team sponsored.
