2017 Max Volley Summer League
The 2017 Summer season will run from the week of May 15th through to August 11th. Playoffs (all teams qualify for playoffs) will follow and will run for 2 weeks. (no games Aug 1st) The league will run 14 weeks including playoffs depending on the weather.
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. Every location is a separate league. We will not be using the Leitrim Rd courts for Max Volley Leagues this year.
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 May 31st. The league will be tiered (like the main league) and the initial rankings will be by age. U14-U16-U18
Referral Program:
Refer a player to a Max Volley league (that has not played previously) and you will be entered in a draw for beach volleyballs or the Grand Prize of one week accomodations in Florida (flight not included). You must register online prior to the referred player and enter their name in the appropriate box during registration.
Playing in more than one league:
If you register to play in two or more leagues, (substitutes or free agents not including) you will also be entered in a draw for beach volleyballs or the Grand Prize of one week accomodations in Florida (flight not included).
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. You can also access the free agent list to find team-mates yourself.
Returning Teams Ranking Procedure
Returning teams will be ranked according to the 2016 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 120..) 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
New teams in the East doubles leagues (Shefford court doubles leagues) will be required to play in a ranking tournament on May 13th (Men's 2's at 9am, Women's 2s at 9am, coed 2s at 2pm) All other new teams will be placed in the league based on the category they have selected during registration. If you are not sure what category to choose please choose the lower one. If you cannot make this tournament, please contact us. Max Volley reserves the right to shift teams up or down a few tiers based on their results over the first 3 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 severe 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.
