How to Sign Up
Industrial Volleyball League, Inc. organizes indoor volleyball competition in the southern San Francisco peninsula and San Jose area. We offer five levels of play in the coed, ranging from recreational play to open competition. There are three levels in the reverse coed, three in the women's and three in the men's (when offered). For more information on the levels, go to League Format.
Our seasons run approximately eight to nine weeks with playoffs. Each league meets once per week and usually consists of six or nine teams (depending upon the number of courts at their facility). Each night, three teams play a 6 game round-robin on one court (team A x team B, team A x team C, team B x team C).
While two teams play, the third team officiates. Each team is required to provide a referee, an umpire and two line judges. Referees are certified by taking a written test prior to their first experience as officials. The IVL provides paid referees and umpires during the playoffs.
You have a team looking for a player? You a player looking for a team? Click on "Free Agent" at the website and check it out.
New referees can now take our new online referee test. Take the test, have it corrected online, then bring the printed out results to your league supervisor for certification. See Referee's page for details.
Reverse Coed, Coed BB, Coed A and the Women's leagues start the week of March 22. Coed B leagues start the week of March 29.
Updates: League schedules will now be available at the web site at the end of the first week. Also, no more registration forms at Foothill.
