Model Volleyball celebrates its 16th year with its most ambitious evolution yet: a two-day beachfront collaboration with the iconic Club Space, transforming 9th Street and Ocean Front into a daytime-to-sunset cultural takeover.
Taking place Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 from 12PM to 11PM, Model Volleyball x Club Space merges high-energy beach volleyball with world-class electronic music, creating an immersive open-air experience directly on the sand.
Now a staple in Miami’s cultural calendar, Model Volleyball has grown from a grassroots tournament into a signature destination event drawing athletes, creators, tastemakers, and global brands to Miami Beach each spring.
The event brings together Miami’s leading modeling agencies for a two-day co-ed tournament, with support from the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority.
With participation from 10 of Miami’s top model agencies and more than 250 competing models, and music from 20 world renowned DJs at an active dancefloor all day, curated by Club Space, the 16th anniversary edition is set to be the largest and most dynamic in the event’s history.
Each day begins at noon with doors opening and volleyball matches underway, as DJ sets activate the beach throughout the afternoon.
At 6PM, the volleyball courts clear and the dancefloor expands across the sand, carrying the energy into the evening until 11PM.
Oceanfront tables and VIP hospitality areas are positioned between the courts and the main stage, offering direct sightlines to both the athletic competition and headline performances.
With its 16th edition, Model Volleyball continues to redefine what a beach sporting event can be — seamlessly integrating sport, music, nightlife culture, and premium brand experiences in one of the most iconic waterfront locations in the world.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Club Space to create something truly memorable for the Miami Beach community,” said Olivia Ormos, co-founder of Model Volleyball. “Bringing together 16 years of Model Volleyball with world-class music directly on the sand feels like a natural evolution and a celebration of the city that’s supported us from the very beginning.”
Returning for another high-energy year, BANG Energy will keep spectators fueled with custom guest experiences.
The exclusive VIP Model Volleyball x Club Space Beach Deck will offer 25 premium tables with prime views of the volleyball action and the iconic Miami Beach coastline—where you never know who you might rub shoulders with.
Think Hospitality & The Plymouth South Beach, the official hotel & venue partner, will host private special events and guests throughout the weekend.
iHeartMedia will be returning as the event's marquee media partner for the 10th consecutive year.
mavn, the disruptive tech platform revolutionizing influencer marketing, will offer VIP guests an exclusive, customized social media experience with an oasis of curated activations designed to elevate content creation and brand storytelling.

Stay tuned for official announcements & who will bring home the W. See you on the sand!
