How Does the DVL Work?

Highlights:

  • Ladder-based divisional system

  • Runs year-round, leading up to a Championship tournament

  • Custom Team Branding

  • 10 Week Seasons

The Duval Volleyball League (DVL) offers a competitive, year-round structure with a self-balancing system designed to ensure optimal matchups. The league is organized into separate skill divisions, where teams can earn promotion by accumulating points, while the lowest-ranked teams face relegation.

Each season builds up to the Championship Season, culminating in a tournament for the grand trophy and prizes.

To maintain consistency and a high level of play, DVL only accepts pre-made teams. Currently, DVL only offers a Sunday Evening League, but more leagues and dates will be available in the future.

DVL runs in 10 week increments, with 1 guaranteed weekly match (best of 3).
