Wait... is AVP Grass Nationals still happening?
The 8th Annual AVP Grass Nationals is on as scheduled on October 23rd - 25th!
AVP Grass Nationals is a marquee event in the grass volleyball community and will be so for the foreseeable future! AVP Grass Nationals and the USAV Grass National Championship are independently operated events, hosted by different organizations, and are not affiliated with one another.
AVP has passionately grown its major grass volleyball events for nearly a decade, and it’s fantastic to see new involvement in the space for growth.
Each event will have its own unique formats, divisions, and atmosphere. We’re proud to continue our traditions at AVP Grass Nationals in Gainesville in 2026 and would love to see you there!
