Our official tour ball is the Spalding King of the Beach. We do not provide court balls, but we do have them for sale at all of our events. Open divisions use the Wilson AVP ball. Please contact us if you would like a ball in between events.
What division do you fit in? Here is a description of each:
Open - The professional level athlete. This division is playing for cash prizes. You can find our open division finals on our YouTube page. Must be a Volley America member to participate. Open players must be AVP Next members for any AVP Next events (AA and BB players do not need this membership). Tournament director reserves the right to adjust seeding as they see fit based on past results and strength of other tournaments played.
AA - The advanced level athlete. This division is playing for merchandise prizes and the 1st place teams will receive their entry fee back. Must be a Volley America Member to participate.
BB - The beginner level athlete. This division is playing for merchandise prizes. Must be a Volley America Member to participate.
Juniors - The amateur level athlete. This division is for students that are still in grade school and are 18 years of age or younger. This division is sanctioned by USAV and Volley America, just check the schedule page for which ones go with which membership. All participants must be USAV or Volley America members to participate. This division is playing for 1st and 2nd place medals or trophies provided by Victory Awards and Trophies.
The Adult and Junior division will follow the current USAV Beach Volleyball rule book.
Juniors will register through the contact us tab or by sending an email to LTS6204@gmail.com. In this message or email please include both names, birth dates, age division they are wishing to play, USAV numbers, and the date you are wanting to register for. The registration for each event will open on the 1st of the month before the event takes place. So for instance, the April Juniors event will open for registration on March 1st. When you have sent us your information we will send you a Pay Pal invoice with the entry fee for both players. When this has been paid is when the team is accepted into the event, not when you send us the information. We had teams get turned away last year for not filling out the invoice in a timely manner. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this process, please feel free to message us at anytime.
Rain and bad weather policy? We play rain or shine.....Only thing that slows us down is lightning.
If a team leaves before finishing their refereeing duties, then their will be a $15 fee added to your entry fee the next time you play here!
A few rules to point out for our events:
All of our events are held at Capt'n Bill's Backyard Gill and Volleyball Facility. The address for your GPS is 4240 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28405. You will not find a location better anywhere in the United States. (This is coming from someone who has played in almost every volleyball location in the US). The tradition here comes with great food, a hard working and friendly staff, and some of the best volleyball players in the world have played in this great facility. We are lucky to have something like this in Wilmington!!
