Palm Beach is about to bring the heat.
From May 23–25, the AVP is hitting Florida’s east coast with the Palm Beach Open, the second big stop in the 2025 season — and this Contender Event is primed for upsets, breakouts, and beach volleyball chaos under the lights.
We’ve got energy. We’ve got atmosphere. And we’ve got a lineup full of vets vs. hungry underdogs looking to make names and ruin brackets.
And the AVP are backing up the sand trucks.
The Beach came to dominate — and that’s exactly what they did.
In a statement-making sweep at the Covelli Center in Columbus, Ohio, Long Beach State shut down defending champs UCLA to win the 2025 NCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship.
💥 Result: 3–0 sweep (25–17, 25–23, 25–21)
No extra sets. No doubt.
Just straight fire from a team that’s been locked in all season.
If you’re trying to build the future of U.S. beach volleyball, there’s one name that’s literally standing above the rest:
Andy Benesh — 6’9″, elite hands, Olympic energy, and absolutely no chill at the net.
From SoCal roots to Paris heat, Benesh isn’t just a late bloomer — he’s a modern beach volleyball blueprint. Power. Patience. Precision. And now? Podium potential.
The Valkyries didn’t just win — they made history.
On May 11, 2025, in front of a roaring crowd at Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, NV, the Orlando Valkyries claimed the PVF crown, smashing the Indy Ignite in a fiery four-set final (25–21, 25–19, 19–25, 25–15) and sealing their place as the first Pro Volleyball Federation champions ever to take home the league’s million-dollar prize.
Let that sink in:
💰 $1,000,000.
👑 One trophy.
🔥 A full-season redemption arc with a mic-drop finish.
AVP Season Starts With a Statement from Surf City
The 2025 AVP season just got a whole lot louder.
Huntington Beach was the stage, and Benesh/Partain and Brasher/Nuss showed up like they owned the coastline.
Two finals.
Two sweeps.
Two teams that just told the rest of the AVP:
“We’re the ones to beat.”
He’s a genius in the sand, a disruptor on the court, and a future face of U.S. beach volleyball.
Miles Partain didn’t just arrive on the world stage — he showed up with a bucket hat and a back set that made defenders break ankles.
At just 22 years old, he’s already racked up Olympic starts, AVP titles, and the respect of beach legends.
And the wildest part? He’s just getting started.
Remember the name.
Spell it with a “Č.” Say it with your chest.
Because Nina Čajić just kicked the door open on U.S. pro volleyball — and she’s bringing Serbian fire with her.
Pronunciation: KNEE-NUH CH-EYE-EACH
From blowing up record books at Tennessee to torching scoreboards in the PVF, Čajić is the breakout problem nobody saw coming — unless you were paying attention.
If you don’t know her name by now, you’re late to the party.
Brittany Abercrombie isn’t just putting up numbers — she’s rewriting the book on what it means to be an opposite hitter in the modern pro game.
From NCAA stardom to international battles, AU glory, and PVF firepower, she’s stacking accolades like it’s light work. And the scary part? She’s just getting started.
