MALIBU, Calif. – Pepperdine Beach Volleyball and head coach Marcio Sicoli have announced the full fall schedule which will kick-off the 2025-26 season for the Waves this October.

"I'm excited for the fall competitions to start!," said Head Coach Marcio Sicoli. "We have a young and hungry team to start competing! We are on a mission to get our bid for the 2025 AVCA Fall Collegiate Beach Championship and get back to the top of WCC and NCAA in the Spring!"

On the morning of Oct. 10 at 8 a.m., the team returns to competition after six months of growth and anticipation. This first competition, the West Coast Fall Collegiate Pairs Tournament, extends through Oct. 12. It will be hosted on the scenic pier in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

The following week the blue and orange make their home debut in the Pepperdine Fall Pairs Tournament (Oct. 18). The Waves will square off against Cal State Bakersfield.

From there, the Waves take to Huntington Beach, Calif. for the West Coast AVCA Bid Tournament (Oct. 25-26). 

Another home event will take place on Nov. 1 for the Annual 4-Man Fundraiser.

The team's fall calendar concludes with a pair of road competitions.

Select Pepperdine pairs will travel to Huntsville, Ala. for the AVCA Fall Collegiate Pairs Championship (Nov. 7-9). 

The remaining Waves will not have to journey quite as far as they will travel for the Long Beach Fall Pairs Tournament held on Nov. 8 in Long Beach, Calif.
