Southwest Series

Welcome to the Southwest Series!

Welcome to the Southwest Series, the beating heart of beach volleyball in the Southwest and Wales. We run beach volleyball events across lots of different venues, including: Cardiff, Exmouth, Croyde, Swansea, Barry Island, Bournemouth and Perranporth.

We are all about making our beautiful sport as accessible, open and inclusive as possible. Every Southwest Series event is open to beginners, and we guarantee EVERYONE the same number of games, a warm smile when they arrive, and lots and lots of volleyball!

Players earn points at every event. Points count towards qualification for the annual finals, which will be held in Cardiff this year. You can check out the current standings via the points charts below.

Event Points

These are the points you earn per event. This year, the rankings for all four different types of event (men’s, women’s, junior, mixed) are completely separate, and we will crown our champions of each category at the finals. Results at the finals are worth double points!
