From humble beginnings...

We started out as a small group of friends trying to play volleyball whenever and wherever we could. It was a time when the popularity of grass volleyball had faded in the Central Valley and if you had finished your competitive days of indoor volleyball in high school or college, opportunities to play were few and far between. One day, a guy with some volleyball nets wanted to give everyone who loved volleyball the opportunity to play, indoors and outdoors. He started organizing little grass tournaments at the local parks and indoor tournaments at the high schools. Gradually, players came to play, and they saw that the volleyball was good. The guy with some volleyball nets wanted even more players to join in the fun. He envisioned that there could be a community of volleyball enthusiasts who could enjoy tournaments for the competition, and also by connecting socially through their common passion for a great sport. He wanted to share this vision with as many volleyball players as possible. The small group grew, but try as he might, the guy with some volleyball nets just couldn't get as many players to come as he believed there could be. Then one day a guy with computer skills asked the guy with some volleyball nets, "What do you think about making a website?" From there the Fresno Grass Volleyball Association was born and volleyball in the Central Valley was changed forever.

In 2007, the FGVA partnered with the Fresno City College Women's Volleyball team and the FGVA has continued to grow. We have 5 indoor events and 6 grass events throughout the year. We take pride in running events that are fun and competitive. We believe in being a community that welcomes new players and want you to have such a great time that you will come back for more. So come checkout an event, make some new friends, and enjoy some amazing volleyball!
