HOWDY AGS!

We have been busy finalizing all of the details for the upcoming TAMVA Kickoff Weekend only a month away. We are still working on some final touches but we have the basics of the new Texas Aggie Men’s Volleyball Association (TAMVA) website and registration system up and running. We are excited to see that there has been lots of interest with former players from across the country already planning to attend. We are planning to make this a weekend to remember and socialize with your old teammates as well as meet former players from other years.

We would like all former players, whether you are able to attend or not, to join the TAMVA database so that we are able to maintain updated contact information for all our former players of Texas A&M Men’s Volleyball. Former players will be able to maintain their own member profile and update information as life changes occur. Member information will only be accessible by other former player members on the website and you are able to choose which information is accessible to other members. Please take 2-3 minutes and create your TAMVA player profile now by clicking the JOIN link below and then you can start registering for TAMVA Kickoff Weekend events.

Event Headquarters: Texas A&M Conference Center – BOOK ROOMS HERE >>> TAVMA Kick-Off / Alumni Weekend

We have a room block at the Texas A&M Conference Center located on campus across from Kyle field with very affordable room rates($129/night) for the weekend. If you have not already booked your rooms for the weekend make sure to do that ASAP as the room block expires on Tuesday and there were not many rooms left at last check.

Registration is OPEN: After you have created your former player profile, click on the Events tab to start registering for each of the events that you and your guests will be attending so that we have an accurate count and can prepare accordingly for each event.

Many players that we have talked to thus far are planning to bring spouses/girlfriends/significant others and using this as an opportunity for a weekend getaway without the kids. If you don’t have arrangements otherwise, bring them along and they can join in on the activities or we can try to line up sitters for Saturday night.

Other activities: The Aggie Baseball team is in town on Fri, Sat, and Sun vs Arkansas for anyone wanting to catch a game if it fits in your schedule. The pool at the Texas A&M Conference Center is nice to hangout and enjoy the sun between activities. We are also exploring Kyle Field tours and will communicate further if this becomes an option.

We are very excited for the upcoming TAMVA Kickoff Weekend and hope to see you all next month. Please forward this email to your immediate teammates that we may not have contact information to reach.

Regards,
TAMVA Board of Directors
