Roster Updates!
Many teams entered Crossroads this year without entering a roster. If yours is one of these teams, you might want to get your roster information entered now.
You MUST have a complete, correct roster entered into Sign Up To Play BEFORE you print your roster for CHECK-IN at the tournament. NO HANDWRITTEN CORRECTIONS are permitted on the check-in roster. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this rule. You will have to find your own computer and printer to make corrections if you arrive in Denver without the corrected form - the tournament has NO extra equipment for teams to use to make corrections on site at check-in.
Instructions for entering roster information are on STP as well as on our Team Check In page.

Crossroads Fun Fact
Last week we promised more about our international team and here it is! Canada West VBC is coached by a Denver native who now lives and works in Calgary, Alberta.
Why bring her team all the way back to the city of her youth? "My best high school memories are of JNQ volleyball tournaments...My motivations for taking my team to Crossroads are two-fold: 1. I want the girls to know that there are many post-secondary opportunities for them to continue their volleyball career in the States. 2. I wanted them to experience the great atmosphere and sheer enormity of the Crossroads Tournament."
Her best high school memories? What does she remember about Crossroads? "I vividly remember laying sport court and setting up nets in the Colorado Convention Center as part of our Front Range VBC fundraising. (not so much fun, but I will never forget it!)"
