The Chicago Volleyball League, for the seventh season, is proud to continue and offer in 2023 a unique league designed to fit your team’s level of play. The league is intended for beginner to intermediate level teams. Teams perfect for this league are those that typically compete in the Classic, Aspire, Patriot or American divisions.

League Purpose

In the summer of 2016 a handful of clubs sat down together and discussed options to provide a better tournament solution for the beginner to intermediate level of club teams. Power leagues are an option however historically it appeared teams at the beginner level were playing against higher level travel teams during their first two to three seeding dates. In essence the first nine to ten matches would provide an improper level of competitive balance for both teams playing each other. This was not only true for the inexperienced teams but also for the more experienced travel teams.

The CVL is intended to help solve or dramatically reduce this issue. By having a league geared toward only the beginner to intermediate level of teams you will now see your teams “competing” more often and potentially enjoying more success in doing so. Play against more teams of the same level more often. We’ve included some stats from the 2018 season to show how often the level of competition is similar (main image up top).
