Sand Sports Beach Volleyball

05/04/2026

36 teams. 32 companies. One full Saturday of competition, chaos, and a lot of great volleyball out in the desert on May 2nd.

Big congrats to SmithGroup – SmithGroup B for taking the championship this year 🏆
a.23studios – Block Parti battled their way to 2nd place, and Facings of America – Hot Bouys walked away with Best Dressed (well earned)

This event keeps getting better every year—and that’s because of the people behind it.
Huge thank you to our sponsors, to AIA Phoenix Metro for the continued support, and to every single player and team that showed up and made the day what it was.

Already looking forward to next year.

What are your thoughts 💭 on the new ball?

The pros got their first taste of the new Wilson Volleyball this past weekend. Emily Day says, "The new Wilson ball was fun to play with! It still has all the great qualities of the old ball but then its new design made it easier for tracking, even on some of the toughest jump serves Betsi Flint and I see."
