CRITERIA

Top ranked volleyball players who have maintained a high degree of excellence and superior play over a significant period of time and have played in California volleyball events.

Each candidate has to have devoted a major part of his or her life to the sport of volleyball, and has made positive and meaningful contributions.

For a player to be considered as a viable nominee, there must be a five year interval after playing full time at a professional level.

Annually the Hall of Fame Committee will develop a slate of nominees and select at least one male and one female, with no more than three players being inducted each year. An additional person may be selected in criteria (2) from time to time, in addition to players selected in criteria (1).

PROCEDURES

The CBVA will request current Hall of Fame members and CBVA members to submit nominations for the Hall of Fame. Categories 1 & 2 (all nominations need to be sent in with a short “bio” from the nominator about the nominee).

After the nominations come in, the Hall of Fame Committee will then review the nominations to determine the eligibility of the nominees. The Committee will then send out a condensed list to the Hall of Fame members, who vote on the new years nominees with the number of nominees to be no more than 5 men and 5 women.

The Hall of Fame members will vote on the top 3 choices (at least 1 male and 1 female). After the votes come in the Committee will determine the number of inductees for that year.

Museum

The Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame is located in the Hermosa Beach Historical Society museum, at 710 Pier Avenue, Hermosa Beach CA, 90254 US

Ceremony

Each fall, the Hall of Fame committee solicits nominations from the beach volleyball community for the next class of inductees. The committee considers each nominees historical finishes, contributions to the game, and eligibility to create a slate. The slate is voted on by the past Hall of Famers to select their newest class of peers.

Typically around mid-November, CBVA and HBHS host the Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame induction ceremony, held at the museum's location (above). The ceremony/celebration is a fun event and a great reunion for the California beach volleyball community, open to everyone.
