SYSTEM OVERLOADUSA Volleyball Academy can become
bogged down when many members
are utilizing the training courses at the
same time (Sundays or long holiday
breaks). It has been known to happen
that courses become frozen, the
system shuts down, or courses cannot
be added to your Academy. We know it
is frustrating. USA Volleyball Staff is
adding more space on its server to
accommodate this overload. Just know
ALL of us (USA Volleyball and Region
Staffs) work diligently to provide
solutions as quickly as we are able.
When we have a solution and the slow
down is fixed, we hustle to reload
courses and communicate to all those
HelpDesk tickets. Take a break. Enjoy
your day while waiting!
