2022 AVP Tour Schedule Released

The AVP Tour will have three Gold Series events, five Pro Series events and seven Tour Series events as part of its 2022 beach volleyball schedule, culminating with the AVP Championships in Phoenix.

The new tiered system increases money for athletes breaking into the beach volleyball world. The Championship event in Phoenix, scheduled for September 23–24, will have six teams per gender decided by the team’s best two finishes in Gold Series events, plus two wild card teams.
