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.
