AZ AAU POWER VOLLEYBALL LEAGUE

For many years, there was only one option to play club volleyball in Arizona. We’ve listened to many club directors, parents, referees and athletes and have developed a new league that we think will be a great option for everyone.

Our goals:

• A league that responds quickly in a rapidly changing world
• Embrace technology to help engagement, efficiencies and overall experience
• Provide a less expensive, yet highly recruitable pathway for all our athletes
• Inclusive league for all clubs, but opportunities for high-level competition

New volleyball formats with those goals in mind we’ve developed the power league with the following:

• New Format: 3 team pools, 3 hour weekend commitments. In the past, tournaments either lasted all day or were 6 hours. We’ve developed a league that only supports 3 teams pools – 3 hours total. No team camps, no sitting around. Just play twice and ref once! This format is a GREAT way to adjust to our current pandemic. Same number of matches as USAV’s power league – 18 Matches + Championships.
• 2 Separate Divisions:
  • Elite Division will require teams at a high level of play (similar to Open). These are teams of athletes that are looking to be recruited for post HS play.
  • Club Division will be divided into 2 different divisions: both competitive, yet gives us the ability to keep similar teams together.
  • All divisions will have the ability for teams to move up and down in rank as well as into upper or lower divisions. The bottom 3 Elite teams will move into Club with a chance to move back up into Elite.
