2017 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour

This is the complete schedule of events on the 2017 calendar, with team progression documented from the semifinals stage. All tournaments consisted of single-elimination qualifying rounds followed by a double-elimination main draw.

Key

Men

Women

Prior to the 2017 season, the AVP adopted two rule changes:

• A "point freeze" at match point, wherein the scoring system changes from rally scoring (either team can score a point on every serve) to side-out scoring (only serving team can score a point) when either team reaches match point.
• "Let" serves, wherein the ball touches the net while crossing over into the opponent's court during service, are not allowed during "point freezes" and the serve will be replayed.

Huntington Beach Open

• Phil Dalhausser won his 50th AVP tournament.

Hermosa Beach Open

• The 2017 season marked the return of the Hermosa Beach Open tournament, last held in 2010.
• Brothers Marcus and Miles Partain became the youngest pair (combined age) to get into the main draw of an AVP tournament at 17- and 15-years old respectively, after winning all three of their qualifying matches.

Chicago Championships

• Sara Hughes and Kelly Claes became the youngest pair (combined age) to win an AVP tournament at 22- and 21-years old respectively.
• John Hyden became the oldest player to win an AVP tournament at 44 years and 9 months old.

Miscellaneous

• NBC Sports announced that all eight AVP tournaments would be broadcast on either NBC or NBCSN.
• AVP required all players competing on the 2017 tour to sign a four-year exclusivity contract which forbids main draw players from playing in non-AVP events unless permission is given by the tour.

The 2017 AVP Awards Banquet was held on November 4 in Newport Beach, California. The season's top performers were chosen based on statistics, player votes and AVP national ranking points earned during the year.
