This league is all about competition, connection, and camaraderie—a chance for couples, friends, and fierce competitors to battle it out while making new friendships along the way. Some of our rules may differ from what you're used to, as HDVA is bringing widely accepted grass volleyball rules to Bend.

Divisions
A Division (Upper)
Upper division qualifies as individuals BB+. This division will be a competitive league for experienced players who have played a time or two. Typical expectations for these players are to make almost 100% of serves, reasonably and accurately control the ball, run an organized team composition, and rally on most volleys.
B Division (Lower)
Lower division qualifies as individuals who may be newer to the game or returning from a hiatus. This division will be more social and slightly more relaxed on the rules of volleyball or team setup in order to promote learning and exposure to organized play.
