Long Island Volleyball

What Long Island Volleyball does

Long Island Volleyball Association (LIVA), founded in 1998, operates the largest adult beach volleyball program in the Northeastern United States, running seasonal leagues at Cedar Beach in Babylon, New York from May through August. The organization offers coed recreational 6's, coed competitive 6's, coed competitive 4's, women's 4's, and a Junior's 6 youth league across Monday through Friday evenings, with team registration fees of $740–$890 and individual player fees of $25–$40.

The business is built on a web-based registration platform paired with iOS and Android mobile apps that handle signups, waitlist management, schedules, standings, and rosters. Distribution is direct-to-consumer and self-serve through longislandvolleyball.com and the LIVA app, with community-driven word-of-mouth, Instagram, and Facebook as primary top-of-funnel channels. The management team brings 45+ years of combined LIVA-specific experience. Beyond the flagship Cedar Beach beach leagues, LIVA extends into year-round indoor programming through a partnership with North Beach Long Island (northbeachli.com).

Revenue is generated almost entirely from team and individual registration fees, with a $100 non-refundable deposit structure, 3.5% credit card processing fee, and limited refunds after league start. The company is privately held, operates with 1–10 employees, and reports no institutional funding, making it a lean, owner-operated recreational sports business anchored to a single venue.
