​
Take a look at our coed 4’s social league rules before you hit the sand! You will have a referee supervising your match each week, but the social league has some significant differences from standard AVP beach rules, indoor rules, and tournament rules.
These rules are designed to ensure players of all levels are comfortable and safe. Our rules also cover important aspects related to team expectations to make sure our matches start on time and are fair for all!
