2023 Max Volley Outdoor Summer League 2's, 3's and 4's

Updated Nov 25, 2022 

The 2023 Summer season will run from the week of May 22nd through to Aug 17th. Playoffs (all teams qualify for playoffs) will follow and will run for 2 weeks. The league will run up to 15 weeks including playoffs depending on the weather. The first 2 weeks of the Shefford leagues will have the new teams play in separate tiers for ranking purposes.  (we will no longer run a ranking tournament) All teams will be merged after 2 weeks.

The start time is 6:30 sharp on a nightly basis; it is suggested that teams show up at least 15 minutes ahead of time in order to give themselves sufficient time to warm-up.

The west leagues play at the Bell Sensplex, the east leagues will play at the Shefford courts.

There are no age limits for the adult leagues but we suggest players be over 16 years old.

Youth Leagues

The youth leagues will run Wednesdays for 10 weeks at the Shefford courts starting June 7th. The league will be tiered (like the main league) and the initial rankings will be by age. U14, U15, U16 or U17

Free Agents

If you are a single player looking to play, register as a Free Agent and we will do our best to match you with other players.  It is recommended that you also access the free agent list to find team-mates yourself.

Returning Teams Ranking Procedure

Returning teams will be ranked according to the 2022 summer final ranking, before playoffs.  Returning teams (teams that have one player returning are considered returning teams) must indicate the overall spot you finished in the league last year, before playoffs. (not where you finished in playoffs nor within your division) This will be available via the playoff schedules link on the register page and have the rankings (1 through 90..) posted next to your team name. 

New Teams Ranking

For new teams, the categories are as follows:

AA- Intended for teams that have high level beach volleyball experience

A- Competitive

B- Intermediate

C- Recreational  

If you are not sure what category to choose please choose the lower one. 

New teams will play in separate tiers for the first 2 weeks to rank teams more appropriately.  They will then be merged into the main league. Max Volley reserves the right to shift teams up or down a few tiers based on their results over the first few weeks of the season.

League Tiering

Once the season starts and teams have been placed in tiers based on the above, the tiering system will work as follows: Most tiers will be composed of three teams. These teams will play 2 sets to 21 against the other two teams in their tier. The team with the best results will move up one tier the following week, the second place team will remain in that tier, and the losing team will go down one tier for the following week. Captains will be asked to update their results on the website weekly as scheduling will be automated.

Weather Policy

The league will be run rain or shine (unless there are persisting thunderstorms or flooding). Please consult the court status boxes that are available on the first page of the schedule website (rankings.maxvolley.com) to see if the league is cancelled for the night when there is inclement weather. If a league is cancelled we will also email/text players. There are usually no make-up nights as the league is intended to be 11 weeks in a 13 week period. (plus playoffs)
