The Central Arkansas Volleyball Association holds several indoor and outdoor volleyball tournaments throughout the year. These tournaments are usually "luck of the draw", which means that players are not required to bring their own team to the tournament. Each player is assigned to a team on the day of the tournament. We find that this is a good opportunity to meet new people and it usually results in very fair and competitive teams.

CAVBA Tournaments usually follow the following format:

Format: 3/4's or 5/6's depending on the number of entrants
Fee: $15 members/$20 non-members for indoor tourneys and $10 members/$15 non-members for outdoor tourneys
Location: Murray Park (outdoor) or Jacksonville Community Center (indoor) Click here for an interactive map.
Time: Sign-up 8-8:30; Draw 9:00; Play 9:15

Tournaments last from 9-6, we want everyone to play, but if you cannot stay for the entire tournament, we request that you refrain from entering into the tournament since leaving early is not fair to the other members of your team.

The Jacksonville Community Center requires players to carry their shoes into the facility.
