NCVA Gears Up for June 21 Beach Volleyball Tournament

The Northern California Volleyball Association (NCVA) continues its remarkable 2024–2025 season by hosting its upcoming and much-anticipated beach volleyball summer series. Following a record-setting indoor season that saw 875 teams compete across the Boys Power, Girls Power, and Girls Premier Leagues, NCVA is now turning its attention to its summer beach tournaments.

Beach Volleyball Begins June 21 at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

The NCVA beach season kicks off on June 21 at the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, marking the first of three high-energy tournaments this summer. The scenic beachfront setting is expected to draw a wide range of talent from across the region, as athletes showcase their skills in the sand.

Teaming up with USA Volleyball (USAV), these tournaments are part of NCVA’s Sand Programs that service as a “pipeline” for young athletes who want to one day reach the elite level of the sport.

The summer series continues with additional tournaments scheduled for July 5 and August 30, offering multiple opportunities for players to compete, develop, and enjoy the vibrant volleyball community that NCVA is known for.
