The Beginning: Why?
In 2002, local beach volleyball veteran Wayne Gant started Great American Volleyball. Wayne started playing volleyball in high school, and quickly became one of New Jerseys best beach players. After climbing the ladder of divisions on the JSVBA, East End, and other local volleyball tours, Wayne noticed over several years that participation was declining. Determined to save this Great sport, Wayne decided to create his own beach volleyball tour.
What makes Great Tournaments so Great?
Great American Volleyball has always strived to provide the very best tournament experience to its players. Were always looking for new ways to increase the quality of every aspect of our tournaments. Player perks, quality prizes, professional net systems, and a friendly, attentive staff are the standard.
What we've done and where were going
Great American Volleyball prides itself on making players happy, and as a result the tour has grown quickly. In just 5 years since our first tournament, Great American Volleyball has become the largest beach volleyball tour in the Northeast and one of the largest in the U.S.
While we are proud of what we have accomplished so far, we always have a lot of room for improvement. As we continue to grow we will continue to make the overall beach volleyball experience more enjoyable for our players. We will continue to build relationships with our sponsors, creating an environment of mutual benefit for them and our players and fans.
