Mission:

The CBVA’s mission is to nurture, sponsor and promote beach volleyball. The CBVA promotes volleyball by conducting outdoor volleyball events while striving for the highest possible standards for players, tournament directors, members and sponsors.

About Us:

Founded in 1962 by a group of passionate beach volleyballers, the CBVA was created to bring together the local beach volleyball communities and maximize the opportunities to play through a unified schedule. As the sport grew, the official rulebook, skill divisions, and our rating system developed into the CBVA as it is today. In 2017, the schedule will have nearly 1000 tournaments, 11 skill or age divisions, 23 locations, and nearly 8000 active members.

The California Beach Volleyball Association is dedicated to fulfilling this mission and supporting the beach volleyball community via a unified schedule, rating system, and recordbase. The schedule is made up of organized, accessible tournaments for every skill level at many locations along the California coast.

Our rating system creates a clear path for measurable skill development and gives players the opportunity to play against appropriate competition. The recordbase promises preservation of the integrity of the game and rating system, as well as the history of our favorite sport.
