Volley America was started by Great American Volleyball and East End Volleyball to give the game back to the players. It is an association of like -minded volleyball promoters that want to cross promote beach volleyball while providing a national ranking system and year end Grand Prix for all skill divisions. Our goal is to grow the game while maximizing the players’ experience and enjoyment of the sport, tournaments, and parties!
All players participating in the Spalding King of the Beach Tournament Summer Series must join Volley America with the exception of NCAA eligible student athletes. Also, all participants in the MO2′s, WO2′s and CO2′s divisions in the TVA Beach League Presented by Bud Lite Lime must be Volley America members.
Volley America memberships are $10 (online) or $15 at the beach. Please check out our on-line member registration to sign up.
$25,000 Volley America Grand Prix
The Grand Prix standings will be linked to the Volley America results and National Standings page to be announced shortly
-
All players must have an Volley America # in order to receive pts and end of season prize money (details about obtaining a membership will be sent out shortly)
-
All divisions will now receive bonus pts based on the # of teams in a division:
- 1st receive bonus pts equal to the # of teams in the division
- 2nd receives the same amount of bonus pts – 2
- 3rd receives the same amount as 2nd minus 3
- And so forth until you get to 0.
- This makes larger tournaments worth more than weaker tournaments yet still does not penalize teams that win smaller events
- Players earn points every time you play and make the playoffs:
| Place | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 5th | 7th | 9th |
| Points/Tournament | 40 | 25 | 15 | 10 | 8 | 5 |
- Prizes based on total points during season.
Additional Programs to be added:
- Double points at the following TVA “BIG MONEY” Tournaments: June 18/19th, July 9/10th, Aug 13/14th
