The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), under new ownership, recently released a robust schedule for 2022 that includes 16 events from May through November.

The prize purse has increased and the new structure will allow for the development of teams to grow the game. The AVP is the biggest and longest-running professional beach volleyball tour in the United States.
