Richmond Convention Center Rules
Typical Richmond Convention
Center Rules.
No outside food is allowed in the RCC......
but some years they have
allowed food inside. Odd.
Coolers are not permitted in the RCC at all......
but they let us to do
that some years also. Really odd.
Normally: Unattended coolers can
not be left outside the RCC
and we are normally told that folding chairs would not be allowed into the
facility......but yet they are sometimes.
Some Other Monument City rules that we must abide by:
-
NO COOLERS of any kind, of any size, or for any reason are permitted in the Greater Richmond Convention Center. Coolers left inside the building will be removed to the outside of the building. Coolers left outside the building are the sole responsibility of the owner, but may be confiscated if security deems them a hazard.
-
Neither the Richmond Volleyball Club nor the facility will assume any responsibility for coolers or providing a place for them.
-
This is a Greater Richmond Convention Center rule that we must enforce as a condition of our contract. This is not our rule. We understand people do not like this, and neither do we. But we are bound by the terms of the contract and cannot negotiate this away. We apologize for any inconvenience it causes.
-
Any individuals who ignore or verbally abuse the security staff will be asked to immediately leave the premises. Please abide by the rules and let the tournament be enjoyable for everyone.

OK, so I got this question from a coach at another club: "Why
do so many other teams go to Myrtle Beach and
you always take your team to Monument. And you play in the open
division? Aren't you crazy?"
My answer: "My team was promised competition vs. "big
girls". The girls on my team have big hopes and big dreams. I want to
help them with that. My coaching staff believes that attending the
Monument tournament will help them reach those goals better than any
other tournament we can attend. :)"
Coach answered: "Makes perfect sense. Never been to Myrtle
Beach. Just wondered the difference."
"Much different. There are SO many teams from S.C. to Penn with high expectations attending Monument, and they play at
the highest level they can possibly play at. Playing in the open
division at Monument will expose every weakness a team has! :)
