The upcoming weekend of July 11-12 is set to be an electrifying showcase of beach volleyball as part of the AVP League in Long Beach, California. This highly-anticipated event holds significant consequences for the season, potentially altering playoff standings as teams like the LA Launch, Brooklyn Blaze, Miami Mayhem, and Dallas Dream engage in fierce competition.

As the season nears its conclusion with only two events left, every game becomes crucial. Both the Miami Mayhem and Dallas Dream aim to secure a 9-3 record in the AVP Cup. However, since they face each other, only one can succeed. Notable matchups include Miami’s former teammates Andy Benesh and Taylor Crabb against Dallas’s Miles Partain and Paul Lotman, promising a riveting contest.

On the women's front, the competition is equally intense. The LA Launch, Brooklyn Blaze, Miami Mayhem, and Dallas Dream each have a 2-2 record. This weekend could be decisive, allowing any of these teams to challenge Palm Beach or slip in the rankings. Given the stakes, each match is pivotal, with the potential for two teams to align with Palm Beach’s record through a sweep.

Similarly, for the men's teams of LA Launch and Brooklyn Blaze, both hovering on the edge of the playoffs, their direct clash may very well determine who continues to have a shot at the playoffs.

Fans across the nation can catch all the action with live broadcasts available on CW, CBS Sports Network, and the AVP YouTube Channel. The Long Beach tournament is critical for teams aspiring to secure favorable playoff spots ahead of the final season event.
