July 17th – Birmingham Beach

Rally Sports Management (RSM), a leading promoter and trailblazer in beach and indoor volleyball, announced today a partnership with the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), the premier domestic beach volleyball tour to expand the sports’ footprint across the Southeast.

Q: Do I get AVP points for playing in RSM events?
A: YES! Starting in late June, the 2021 events within the Southeast Series will now fall under the AVP America umbrella and allow you to earn those coveted AVP points, entering you into the nationwide AVP ranking system and the AVP America Grand Prix Programs, etc.

Q: What other opportunities will be new for athletes?
A: For aspiring pros, RSM will host the AVP Atlanta Open Qualifier. The official Qualification Tournament will be hosted at Rally in Emerson, GA and will reward the top 4 finishing positions per gender spots into the Main Draw of the AVP Atlanta Open at Atlantic Station. RSM will also run a series of 5 events for both adults and juniors in various locations in the Southeast.

For the adults in the Open divisions, the top 2 point leading pairs for each gender would get a Wildcard into the Qualifier for AVP Atlanta Open. In the recreational AA divisions, the top 2 point leading pairs for each gender would get to play an exhibition set on Center Court at the AVP Atlanta Open venue.

Additionally, for the juniors that finish as the top 2 point leading pairs for each gender and age division, they would get to play an exhibition set on Center Court at the AVP Atlanta Open venue.

This Southeast Series will take place in Huntsville, AL, Emerson, GA (LakePoint) & VaHi (Atlanta).
