Serving your volleyball needs since 1979
Industrial Volleyball League, Inc. organizes indoor volleyball competition in
the southern San Francisco peninsula and San Jose area. The actual IVL
playing area encompasses San Jose, Saratoga, Santa Clara, Cupertino,
Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Los Altos and Menlo Park.
The IVL sets the standard for excellence in organizing leagues that are
designed to provide the most rewarding recreational experience possible for
its players.
Playing facilities
Colleges, high schools and private institutions are used as evening playing
sites Monday through Thursday. There are 5 levels of play and
8 different playing facilities
to choose from. Wood floors and the modern,
sink-down volleyball standards are in use at virtually all of the gymnasiums.
Season format
The IVL offers four main seasons a year: Winter (early January start),
Spring (mid-March), Summer (mid-June) and Fall (mid-September). Each season
generally runs for 8-9 weeks. There is also a mini-season in late November
and early December. Team captains and company representatives can sign up
at the web site 3-4 weeks before the start of each season.
Who can play?
The IVL welcomes any kind of team; from beginner/novice (what we call our
Recreational B) to the very best players who would compete in our league.
Twice, our champion has gone on to win the U.S. national coed championship.
With six different levels to choose from, we can pretty much guarantee
you'll be placed in a league where you'll have some fun.
