Charleston Beach Volleyball & Social Club’s most popular event is our 4-on-4 Coed beach volleyball league. This league is for players 18 years and older at A, BB, and B skill levels.
Adult leagues are played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 6PM – 7:30PM or 7:30PM to 9PM. Games are played for 7 weeks with 1 week for the playoff tournament for a total of 8 week season. Each team plays a total of 4 games (2 games against 2 different teams) as long as each division is full.
Divisions are set by skill level from A (Expert- Highest level), BB (High-Intermediate) to B players (fairly new, but understand the rules). If in doubt which league division your team should sign up for? Choose the lower division to be safe, or talk with our manager(s) on staff to help you decide.
Most importantly, we want all of your games to be fun and competitive for all teams. Please sign up for the right division. Otherwise, we will remove your team from the league, and your team will have to wait for the next season to register.
We offer FOUR Seasons of Adult League Beach Volleyball (Spring, Summer, Fall, and Late Fall). Leagues run from March through November. Watch our website for more updates coming soon!

Division Skill Levels
“A” Level is Expert/ Most Competitive
Players at this level are considered expert players. They understand beach volleyball rules completely, are adept at the three core bump/set/spike skills extremely well. They are well versed in court position and know how to communicate and execute strategic plays.
Players signing up for A league play should call their own fouls including bad sets or lifts and carries, understand player positions and guidelines for playing those positions. Executing strategy on both offense and defense is a routine part of the game play.
“BB” Level is High-Intermediate
Advanced players at the BB level have a solid understanding of beach volleyball rules. They know where to be on the court at all times to bump, set spike consistently and are where to be on the court at all times. They communicate clearly with their teammates. BB players have a minimum of 2 to 5 years of beach volleyball experience.
Players signing up for BB league play also call their own fouls including bad sets and carries. They know how to bump pass the ball and either bump set or hand set cleanly. They fully understand players positions and roles. They know some strategies for beach volleyball and can execute those strategies on a regular basis.
“B” Level is Intermediate
B players are fairly new to the sport and still learning the game. They know that the “setter gets the second ball” and know basic rules such as hand-sets over the net are not allowed. They know what a clean hand and bump set are but cannot always execute. Thus, games at this level are more lenient on both side of the net.
C is Beginner
Players at the C level are “brand new to the game” and understand the basics of beach volleyball. They often have not played on a league before or have played a single season. Players at the C-level may make mistakes from time-to-time but call their own fouls when they make them. Understanding general game play and strategy is part of their game, but execution is not always there. Games at this level are more lenient on both side of the net.
Come on out to one of our pickup events. We often play on Friday evenings as well as Sunday afternoons. The best place to start is on a 4-on-4 pickup team and start to learn the basics. We have lots of good people out there that will help you learn more about the game. After a couple months on the courts you’ll be ready to jump into league play with your own team before you know it!
