What Is the Dig the Beach Volleyball Series and How Do Its Events Work?

Updated

The Dig the Beach Volleyball Series is a beach volleyball event series that runs summer and winter seasons, with a junior division and a championship finale. Its own tagline frames the distinction: "We don't do tournaments...We do events!" If you want to compete, the practical starting points are the upcoming events list, the junior age requirements for the current season, and the registration system — which requires a unique email address for each player.

How the Series Is Structured

The site organizes the series around two seasonal tracks — summer and winter — plus a juniors program. Rather than presenting itself as a single tournament, it positions each stop as an event within a larger series, and the season builds toward a championship finale.

The clearest example of that structure in the site's own material is the Dig the Beach AVP Gold Championships, described as concluding the summer series at Fort Lauderdale Beach. The site links to coverage of that event, which highlights the Men's Open Championship — a reminder that the series includes an open-level competitive tier alongside its other divisions.

What you can find on the site

The navigation and content areas cover:

  • Upcoming Events — the current event calendar
  • Juniors — the youth division, including Rox Bid Info
  • Results — archived results going back year by year (2013 through 2019 are listed)
  • Hotels — travel information for event weekends
  • Sponsors — series sponsors
  • About and Contact — background and direct contact
  • News — announcements and articles

Junior Division and Age Requirements

The juniors program has its own age requirements, published by season — the site references "JUNIOR AGE REQUIREMENTS - 2022 SEASON" with a link to the details. Because eligibility is defined per season, check the requirements for the season you're entering rather than assuming a fixed cutoff carries over.

The juniors area also includes Rox Bid Info, which suggests a pathway or bid process connected to junior play. If you're a junior player or a parent, those two items — the season's age requirements and the bid information — are the first things to read before registering.

Registration: The Unique Email Rule

The series uses a registration system with one rule that causes problems if you miss it:

You must use a unique email address for each player. The email address is linked to player information for future registrations. If you re-use an email address for a different player, you will over-write the original player information.

In practice, this means:

  1. Create or assign a separate email address for every player you register — including siblings.
  2. Keep that address consistent across future registrations, since it's the link to that player's record.
  3. Don't share an address between players, even temporarily, or one player's information will overwrite the other's.

If you have questions about registration, the site directs you to contact Diogo at [email protected].

Getting Involved: A Practical Sequence

  • Check the upcoming events list to find a date and location that works for you.
  • If you're entering as a junior, read the current season's age requirements and the Rox Bid Info before anything else.
  • Register with a unique email per player, following the rule above.
  • Review past results (2013–2019 are archived) to gauge the level of competition in your division.
  • Book travel early using the hotels page if you're attending an event away from home.
  • Contact the series directly at [email protected] for anything the site doesn't answer.

What the Series Is Not

It's worth being precise about what the available information does and doesn't tell you. The site describes the series as events with summer and winter seasons, a juniors division, and a Gold Championships finale — but it does not publish pricing, entry fees, or payment details in the material available here. Don't assume an event is free or that registration is open without checking; confirm cost and availability through the registration system or by contacting the series directly.
