Welcome to MAV
Background
Our intention 30 years ago was to play some ball and promote volleyball so that others would learn to love the sport as we did. The obvious way to do this was to teach volleyball and host tournaments, allowing new and veteran players to put their skills to practice. We enthusiastically keep at it today. Our goal is to bring volleyball to you for as long as our participants attend our tournaments and clinics.
We would like to expand our services to Junior, Senior and novice players by adding relevant divisions to our tournaments. Our instructional clinics already have sections for most skill levels.
Please use this site to keep informed about our events and offerings. We have simplified it so that information can be one or two clicks away. If registering for one of our events please look through our Tournaments page for details. Also, we recommend you take a look at the Rules & Regs and Policy sections. We encourage you to send us feedback (use the Contact form) and we will always try to provide a safe, sane and fun volleyball environment.

CHRVA-Sanctioned Event
click here for Juniors informationSenior Division - The Huntsman Senior Games which will be held beautiful St. George, Utah in October will be introducing doubles sand volleyball to their list of events. MAV will offer a senior's division (50 and over) for our last three tournaments as a warm-up for players wanting to participate in the Huntsman World games. Get ready for the games by playing in these MAV tournaments which will now offer a Seniors Division. You must be 50 years of age by December 31, 2012 to qualify. Games will use USAV court size (8 meters by 16 meters) and rules for scoring and play. i.e. let serve is good, rally score, block counts as a contact. For the grass tournaments we will use a short format to ensure more play in a day (4 team pools will play 2 games to 21; 5 team pools will play 1 game to 30). Our next grass tournament is August 4 and 5, the Laurel Open followed on 9/1 by the Labor Day Classic. Finally a beach tournament in the sand in Rehoboth Beach, DE on September 15 and 16. Even if you are not planning on attending the Huntsman games this is a wonderful opportunity to participate and have fun in the sun.
