2022 Athletes Unlimited Volleyball season#Awards

Unlike traditional volleyball which is best-of-5 sets, matches in Athletes Unlimited always play three sets. A team does not necessarily have to win the majority or all of the sets as the winner is determined based on the final overall score. If the teams are tied after 3 sets, a tie breaking fourth set (referred to as the "Golden Set) is played. The Golden Set goes to 5 points and must win by two.{{cite web|title=How We Play -Volleyball|url=https://auprosports.com/volleyball/how-we-play-volleyball/|website=auprosports.com |publisher=AU Pro Sports |access-date=}}

After each match, players and members of The Unlimited Club vote for three players who had standout performances.

MVP points are awarded as follows:

• MVP 1: +60 points
• MVP 2: +40 points
• MVP 3: +20 points

In addition to team points and MVP points, players earn points based on their offensive and defensive performance.

The breakdown for individual points is as follows:

• Serving: Ace + 12, Error -8
• Service error (-8)
• Attack: Kill + 8, Error -12
• Set: Assist + 1, Error -12
• Dig: Dig + 5, No Errors
• Pass: Good pass + 2, Error -12
• Block: Stuff + 12, No Errors

At the conclusion of each week, the top four point scorers are named team captains. Each captain is assigned to a team color based on their standing. Captains then choose their team in a weekly draft.

• No. 1: Gold
• No. 2: Orange
• No. 3: Blue
• No. 4: Purple

• Week 1 Captains: Bethania de la Cruz, Aury Cruz, Karsta Lowe, and Deja McClendon{{cite web|title=AU Volleyball - List of Teams by Week|url=https://auprosports.com/volleyball/ |website=auprosports.com |publisher=AU Pro Volleyball|access-date=July 3, 2022}}
