The League

We believe an athletes youth volleyball experience should be an exciting one; filled with engaging play, community building and joy.

Launching in January 2027, the Surf Cities League is a brand-new 14 & Under (14U) volleyball league designed to give players, parents, coaches, and club directors the high-quality competition & community, without compromise.

The Vision: More Volleyball with Families Paying Less

We love the competitive spirit of regional travel leagues, but at the middle school level we can do better for our athletes and families. We are partnering with the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA), to form a league that offers a tournament experience tailored for middle school athletes and families.
