Parents can now sign up for official USA Volleyball action photos before the tournament.
We only photograph players by request. Sign up is free, but spots fill up quickly so sign up as soon as possible using this link:
Sign up early for action photos.
About an hour before your first match on the first day, you need to come to our Texas Star Booth to finalize your action request with court and time.
About an hour after your match, you can view your photos on the iPads at our booth, create your album of favorites, and then place your order. You will get prints, plaques, and digital photos at the tournament. Posters will be mailed afterwards.
You can still sign up at the tournament, but it’s easier and faster if you sign up before the tournament. Don’t miss this unique and fun opportunity.
See you at the Photo Booth!
TEAM PHOTOS
In addition to action photos, stop by our booth for your special team photo with the USAV background. Stop by and schedule it for a time that is good for your whole team. Once the team is present for the photos, it only takes a few minutes for your regular and silly photos. You can see them within seconds at the Team Preview monitors at our booth. You can purchase 5×7 and 8×10 prints as well as wood and sport court plaques to take home as a keep sake.
