What is SABVS?
Unlike indoor Volleyball competitions which are played weekly, the Derrimut SABVS is played on one full day every 1-2 weekends throughout the summer over 12 Rounds followed by a Final Championship. Derrimut SABVS enables you to pick and choose which dates and competitions you would like to nominate in. You do not have to commit to a full season.
There are two options to play in the Derrimut SA Beach Volleyball Series.
- Elite8 & Challenger Sundays or Saturdays unless stated otherwise, matches commence at 8am
- Futures Saturdays or Sundays unless stated otherwise, minimum 3 matches guaranteed with matches commence at a time to be confirmed
Elite8 / Challenger and Futures offer different divisions or age groups:
Elite8 Rounds offer $600 price pool per gender !
Derrimut SABVS Final Championship is upgraded to 4 STAR with $1200 price pool per gender !
Elite8 & Challenger | Futures Threes |
Elite8 3 star = Performance | Under 15, 3aside = Competetive |
Challenger 3 star = Performance Challenger 2 star = Competetive | Under 15, 3aside = Beginners |
