What is Dig the Beach Series?

Dig the Beach Series is a beach volleyball event series based in Florida, organized around a summer and winter schedule rather than a conventional single tournament. Its own tagline sums up the approach: "We don't do tournaments...We do events!" That distinction matters if you are choosing where to play — the emphasis is on a recurring series atmosphere with multiple stops and a championship finish, not one weekend bracket.

What the site actually shows

• A summer and winter beach volleyball series, with juniors (youth) competition included.
• Results archives going back year by year, with 2013 through 2019 listed as separate results pages.
• A junior age requirements page tied to the 2022 season.
• An AVP Gold Championships event that closed out the summer series at Fort Lauderdale Beach, with a men's open division won by Piotr Marciniak and Chaim Schalk.
• A registration system that requires a unique email address per player — reusing one email for a second player overwrites the first player's record.
• A contact route for questions, directed to Diogo at an Exclusive Sports email address.

Who it suits

If you are a junior player or a parent managing a young athlete's season, the junior age requirements and the per-player email rule are the two details to sort out before registering. If you are an adult open-level player, the Gold Championships result suggests the series attracts a competitive field, though the site itself does not publish division lists or entry criteria in the material available.

A practical next step

Decide first whether you are entering as a junior or an adult, because the age requirements page and the registration email rule both apply differently. Then check the results archive for the most recent season to gauge the level of play in your division before committing to a full series.

For broader context on the sport's competitive structure, the AVP is the main U.S. professional tour: AVP.

How do I register for a Dig the Beach volleyball event?

Registration is handled through the site's online registration system, which is reached from the "Up Coming Events" area of Dig the Beach Series. The page's own registration notice gives one rule that trips people up: each player needs a unique email address. The email is tied to that player's record for future signups, so reusing one address for a second player overwrites the original player's information. If a parent is registering two juniors, use two different addresses rather than the same family inbox.

For juniors, check the posted age requirements before you start — the site lists them by season (a "JUNIOR AGE REQUIREMENTS" section) and links to the details. Age-group placement is the most common reason a junior entry gets flagged, so confirm it first.

A few practical points:

• Find the event first. The events list is the entry point; pick the specific date and division, then register, rather than registering "in general."
• Have the player's details ready. Name as it should appear in results, date of birth for junior divisions, and the unique email.
• Read the confirmation. If you don't get one, the entry may not have gone through — follow up rather than assuming.
• Questions go to the listed contact. The page directs additional questions to Diogo at the email shown there.

If you're new to the series, the simplest next step is to open the upcoming events list, choose one date, and register a single player end-to-end so you can see how the email-linked record works before adding anyone else.

What are the junior age requirements for the 2022 season?

The page lists "JUNIOR AGE REQUIREMENTS - 2022 SEASON" as a heading with a "Click Here for Info" link, but the actual age brackets and birthdate cutoffs aren't included in the text provided here. So the specific requirements can't be stated from this source alone.

For the exact 2022 junior age divisions, use the "Click Here for Info" link on the juniors section of Dig the Beach Series, or email the junior contact listed on the page, [email protected].

Why this matters for planning

Junior beach volleyball age rules usually hinge on a cutoff date (often tied to the junior season or a national governing body's calendar), not simply the player's age on the day of the event. That distinction decides which division a player qualifies for, and it can change between seasons.

A practical check before registering

• Confirm the birthdate cutoff and the division names for the 2022 season, not a later one.
• Note the page's registration warning: each player needs a unique email address, since the email is linked to that player's record and reusing one overwrites the original player's information. Families registering siblings should use separate addresses.
• If a player is near a cutoff, ask the organizer directly which division applies before paying or traveling.

If you tell me the player's birth year and the event date, I can outline which questions to put to the organizer to pin down the right division.

Where can I find results from past Dig the Beach tournaments?

Past Dig the Beach results are archived on the series' own site. The results section lists year-by-year pages going back to 2013, so you can look up a specific season without hunting through news posts: Dig the Beach Series.

H3 Practical notes

• Use the older pages for historical placements, and the most recent season's page for current standings or event outcomes.
• If a year's page is missing a division or reads incomplete, the site's contact route is the fallback rather than a third-party results site.
• For junior players, check the age-requirement page before interpreting results, since eligibility rules change by season.

Next step: open the results page, pick the season, then search the page for the player's name or the event location (for example, Fort Lauderdale) to jump straight to that draw.

What hotels are recommended for Dig the Beach events?

The site does not publish a recommended hotel list on the page you're asking about. Its navigation includes a "HOTELS" link, but the page evidence shows no hotel names, addresses, rates or booking partners — so any specific property recommendation here would be guesswork rather than information from Dig the Beach.

What the site does tell you

• There is a dedicated HOTELS section in the main navigation, which is where lodging guidance would normally live.
• A NEWS section carries event write-ups, such as coverage of the AVP Gold Championships at Fort Lauderdale Beach.
• RESULTS are archived by year, and UP COMING EVENTS lists the schedule.
• For questions, the contact given is Diogo at [email protected].
• Registration notes warn that each player needs a unique email address, since the email is tied to that player's record for future registrations.

A practical way to choose

Because the series moves between beach locations, "recommended" hotels change with each event. A sensible approach:

1. Open the event you plan to attend and note the exact beach and dates.
2. Use the site's HOTELS page first — if a host hotel exists, it is often the one with the best proximity and any group arrangement.
3. Otherwise search lodging within walking distance of the beach venue, prioritising free parking or a short drive, since beach parking fills early on event mornings.
4. Check cancellation terms, because beach events can shift with weather.

For a junior player travelling with family, proximity and easy parking usually matter more than room quality; for an adult open player staying multiple days, a kitchen or laundry access can offset a slightly longer drive.

Next step

Check the HOTELS page on Dig the Beach Series for the current event's lodging notes, and if nothing is listed, email Diogo directly with your event name and dates.

How can I become a sponsor of Dig the Beach Series?

Sponsorship of the Dig the Beach Series is arranged directly with the event organizers rather than through a self-serve form on the site. The page lists a sponsors section and a general contact route, so the practical path is to reach out, explain what you want out of the partnership, and let them match you to an event.

Dig the Beach Series is a beach volleyball event series with summer and winter competitions and a juniors division. Its audience is players, families and spectators at beach venues, which shapes what a sponsor can realistically get: on-site visibility, association with an active outdoor crowd, and content tied to event results and news. The site also points to a named contact for questions, so a direct email is the expected first move.

A realistic first approach

• Say which events or region you care about, since the series runs multiple dates.
• State your goal plainly: brand awareness, sampling, player recruitment, or hospitality.
• Offer something concrete — product, prize support, signage, or staff time — rather than asking what they need.
• Ask for the current sponsorship options and what is already committed for the season.

What to weigh before committing

As a next step, email the contact listed on the site with a two-paragraph pitch: who you are, the event or region you want, and the one thing you can contribute. If you are unsure which event fits, ask for the upcoming calendar and attendance expectations before discussing any figures.
