• With this change we have changed the headers to the calendars names to reflect their new locations; US-North East will contain all Volleyball related events i.e. Clinics, Tournaments, Leagues and Open Play, US-National will still contain similar information for the rest of the country. We will continue to divide regions and create new calendars. Tell us about all your local events.

Within the next 3 weeks VBLI is going though a major change and will be providing several new features

• Live Chat System – You will be able to chat with anyone one on one or in groups. This new chat system will allow you to pick up players for games or find out information on the spot.
• New Link System – VBLI.COM has listed over 1500 links to organizations, but we want your input on them. Are they really as good as they claim? This new system will allow you to comment.
• On-line Auction System – Do you have something volleyball related you want to sell? Well here’s the place, no more fees and a captive audience.
• Picture Albums – Do you have some great pictures of your event or team you want to post on-line? Now Volleyball pictures of Volleyball players.

Below are only some of the amazing features we are going to be bringing you in the next few weeks:

• New Portal System - As information is being imported into VBLI we are creating state by state portals. A portal is a book-markable page that you can see all the events in your state on one page.
• Thousands of new events and organizations will be added to our Calenders, Forums and Links sections.
• We are in the process of separating our 50 States as we have with the Forums and Link System so that searching and email notification is more isolated.

Some New Features Already Here:

• Fully Integrated Chat System - Now you can share your thoughts with other players any time anywhere.
• Enhanced Picture Gallery - Do you have a few hundred pictures or just one you want to share, well now you can....
