BRADFORD BEACH WINTER 2011-12 Volleyball Tournaments, Leagues and open play
Are you already bummed by the weather? That’s fine; we have something for you to keep to keep your beach volleyball game sharp, have some fun and make winter fly by. The 2011/12 Bradford Beach Volleyball Series will feature more tournaments, more leagues and more open play opportunities than ever before.

Let’s start with what is new. G1 and Horny Goat Brewing Company have partnered to christen the opening of Horny Goat’s new indoor sand volleyball facility (complete with heated courts – literally, there are heating coils below the sand) with a series of tournaments and live entertainment. The BRADFORD BEACH WINTER PRO BEACH VOLLEYBALL SERIES presented by HORNY GOAT BREWING will kick-off on November 19th with a five-event winter series featuring many of the top male and female beach volleyball players from across the Midwest.
In addition, we will launch the BRADFORD BEACH WINTER 4’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL SERIES presented by HORNY GOAT BREWING with divisions for co-ed 4’s, men’s 4’s, women’s 4’s and a new “Calcutta” Men’s 4’s format combining players of varying skill levels on the same team through a blind draw process. More on the Calcutta to come. The first 4’s event is November 26th for Co-ed 4’s.
But that’s not all. Our former winter home, Sussex Place, is under new ownership and has a new name – DIVE BAR. The new ownership group is in the process of renovating the facility and will once again be home to several tournaments, leagues and open play opportunities. DIVE BAR will be the host of the BRADFORD BEACH WINTER 2’S BEACH VOLLEYBALL SERIES presented by DIVE BAR for men’s and women’s A and B level doubles. The fist event is November 5th and will feature cash and prizes for 1st and 2nd place finishers for what has become a very popular division.
DIVE BAR will also host two new VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES for Men’s A 2’s and Co-ed A/B 4’s. The leagues will start on January 8th and run through March 26th. Each league is limited to 16 teams, so don’t wait to register as space is limited. Teams will play two matches per league night followed by a single elimination playoff on March 26th.
G1 has also negotiated an OPEN PLAY program at both HORNY GOAT and DIVE BAR for players looking to play on weekends during non-league, tournament or special event dates. The OPEN PLAY details are listed below by facility. There is a player charge to participate during the OPEN PLAY hours, and OPEN PLAY is limited to Saturday’s and Sunday’s.
Complete tournament, league and open play details are listed below. Registration for all tournaments and leagues will open on November 1st at bradfordbeachjam.com. Players competing in tournaments and leagues need to be current members of Volley America. Volley America membership provides player insurance, national ranking system and a grand prix pool. For more information on Volley America, please visit volleyamerica.com. Additional winter series promotions and sponsors to be released by November 1st.
