What is SABVS?
Unlike indoor Volleyball competitions which are played weekly, the SABVS is played on one full day every 1-2 weekends throughout the summer over 11 Rounds followed by a Final Championship. 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 SA Beach Volleyball Series.
- Elite & Challenger (Sundays & Saturdays unless stated otherwise) matches commence at 8am)
- Futures (Saturday unless stated otherwise, minimum 3 matches guaranteed with matches commence at a time to be confirmed)
Elite / Challenger and Futures offer different divisions or age groups:
Rounds with prefix ''+'' offer $600 price pool per gender !
SABVS Final Championship is upgraded to 4 STAR with $1200 price pool per gender !
| Elite & Challenger | Futures Pairs & Threes |
| Elite 3 star | Pairs Division 1 = Advanced Under 18, pairs |
| Challenger 2 star = Competetive | Pairs Division 2 = Intermediate Under 18, pairs |
| Challenger 1 star = Intermediate | Threes = Beginners Under 15, 3aside |
