The Untold History of AVP Grass Nationals

When volleyball players talk about iconic events, AVP Grass Nationals makes the list as the unofficial finale of the traditional grass volleyball season.

Why Grass Nationals Stands Out In Volleyball 

Known as one of the largest and most competitive grass volleyball tournaments in the country, with an impressive payout, its history is rich in energy, community, and growth that many players may not be aware of.

The idea behind AVP Grass Nationals is simple: bring together the best players from across the United States for a weekend of high-level volleyball played on the most accessible surface—grass. Grass Nationals is a proving ground for everyone from up-and-coming juniors to seasoned adult athletes and pros.

What sets the AVP Grass Nationals apart is how it blends competition and community. Players return to Gainesville again this year not only for the chance to win, but for the friendships, late-night hangouts, and unforgettable atmosphere. Florida and the Southeast have become the heart of this tradition, drawing hundreds of teams for the ultimate weekend of volleyball.

What’s New for AVP Grass Nationals in 2025

This year, every division’s finals will be played on a stadium court all weekend long. It’s about giving every player—from open to BB—the chance to shine under the spotlight. This upgrade reflects how far the Gainesville Volleyball has come: from humble fields to a professional-style stage where the crowd, lights, and energy elevate the game.

Whether you’ve played before or are joining for the first time, AVP Grass Nationals is more than just another tournament. It’s part of a living history—one where every serve, block, and dive adds to the story of the game we all love.
