Power Leagues

Predictability and Quality Time Spent – The season schedule is set well in advance (by October) so parents, players and coaches can plan accordingly. Parents can plan their lives, PLUS participants are in the gym for 6 hours max and will normally play 9 games (mandatory 3 on most dates) during that time. This is better than spending an entire day in the gym playing a pool of 4 then doing playoffs which run another 2-4 hours. People want to be in and out in a short period of time.

Lower Cost of Participation – The JVA World Challenge and Power League entry fees are lower than qualifier entry fees; this typically trickles down to parents paying lower club dues.

Lower Cost of Travel – With the set schedule, airfare can be purchased and hotel reservations can be made well in advance to receive a much lower rate. Most tournament sites are within a 5-6 hour drive for all participating so travel time is lower and airfare is only purchased for Qualifiers and/or Nationals.

Collaboration of Clubs – Club Directors make the schedules so they have the flexibility to accommodate one another and their teams. This builds a positive relationship between club directors because by working together to create the Power League schedule, different clubs host each weekend, rather than one club hosting and reaping the benefits. By sharing the hosting responsibilities, clubs can put their profit right back into their programs and facility operations. It is a win-win for everyone.
