Overview

• AVP shipped 300 tons of pre-washed sand in 16 Palm Springs dump-truck loads into the Intuit Dome and assembled it within an 18-inch wooden frame over a six- to eight-hour build.
• Week 5 matches are underway on the temporary indoor sand court, with the undefeated L.A. Launch and other teams vying for top positions in the league standings.
• Eight city-backed franchises each field two men’s and two women’s pairs whose combined results determine team rankings throughout the season.
• Olympians Phil Dalhausser and Kelly Cheng and former NBA player Chase Budinger are among the elite athletes drawing crowds to the arena.
• After Inglewood, AVP will replicate its indoor format in New York’s Central Park, underscoring a push for year-round beach volleyball engagement in unconventional venues.
