LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – The UNLV volleyball program is looking for children between the second and eighth grades to become "Rising Rebels" – a group that will assist the team beginning with Saturday's exhibition against Northern Arizona as well as all nine home matches. These individuals will help with ball shagging during warmups as well as in-match duties, such as ball rotation and wiping the floor.
Members of the "Rising Rebels" will have to arrive at the Cox Pavilion 45 minutes prior to each contest and stay throughout the match. In return, each individual will receive a UNLV T-shirt, a free ticket for a parent/guardian, a picture with the team, and the opportunity to be on the court when the 2019 Rebels take the court.
Training will take place Saturday (August 21), starting at 11:00 am in the Cox Pavilion.

2021 SEASON: The reigning Mountain West champions and NCAA Championship second-round participants will play a total of 29 regular-season matches over a four-month span that begins later this month and stretches into late November.
The first four weeks of competition will see the Rebels participate in four tournaments – three of which will be away from the friendly confines of the Cox Pavilion – and face 11-straight nonconference opponents before playing 18 consecutive matches against MW foes over a nine-week stretch. MW action will run Sept. 23 through Nov. 20, with the Rebels playing home-and-home series against eight conference foes and single affairs against both Wyoming (home on Oct. 21) and Colorado State (road on Oct. 23).
In a nod to the past, the MW has brought back the conference tournament after a 10-year absence, with UNLV hosting the three-day event (Nov. 24-26) on campus. The tourney originally ran for nine straight years, beginning with the conference's inaugural campaign in 1999 and concluding in the 2007 season – the last of three straight years it was held at UNLV. The tournament was brought back once in 2011, and it was contested in Albuquerque, N.M.
UNLV SEASON TICKETS: Season tickets for the fall campaign are now on sale and can be purchased through UNLVtickets.com or by calling 702-739-FANS (3267). The Scarlet & Gray will play 11 home matches at the Cox Pavilion with two vs. NCAA Tournament squads – Purdue and Washington State – in the Rebel Challenge as well as nine more in Mountain West play.
Season tickets are $50 for adults (13 and older), and $40 for active alumni, seniors, faculty and staff.
