Advertisement
The SIXTH Ladies First Volleyball Tournament is here! This tournament will be capped at 24 teams. Etiquette for registering is described below.
Place: Lake Hills Park
Southeast 12th Street
Bellevue, WA 98008
Field 1
Parking: Main lot and street parking by the playground/basketball court
Dogs 🐶 : Dogs are not allowed on the playing field
Check in: 8:30 a.m.
Captains' meeting: 8:50 a.m.
Start play/first serve: 9 a.m.
Nets will be provided.
Format:
- Women’s doubles
- Double elimination
- Pool play is two sets to 21 (cap is 21)
- Gold, silver, and bronze brackets
- Bracket: Match play in the winners' bracket (21, 21, 15) and one set to 25 in the losers' bracket.
- Level will be approximately A/BB, but all levels are welcome since it will be broken up after pool play (years past have been pretty balanced).
Rules:
- Basic grass volleyball rules
- No open-hand tips
- Serve receive with two hands clearly touching
- Directional blocking is allowed
- A net is a net (full range of motion)
- If you receive a non-hard-driven ball with your hands, it must come out clean
- Block does NOT count as a touch
- We will NOT be doing the "intent to set" rule, so you must be square if you set over the net
- Everything is at the refs’ discretion. Trust your refs. Call yourself if you can (like a net or a double), but if there is a questionable call, ask your refs. When in doubt, replay it!
Spots:
- Post if you would like a spot
- Teams on the waitlist get on the main list when teams drop in the order they asked. Give a full roster if possible. WAITLIST IS WORTH IT. In the past, ALL teams have gotten in eventually.
- I reply pretty quickly, so if I haven’t liked your post or responded to your message within a day or so, feel free to nudge.
- Paid spots get priority starting August 19, meaning if someone on the main list hasn't paid and the list is full, paying means you get moved to the main list. This is to reduce the likelihood of last-minute drops.

- If you plan on paying cash at the tournament, let me know ahead of time. I prefer Venmo so I can purchase supplies.
- NO REFUNDS if you drop within 48 hours of the tourney. If I don’t receive payment or a message about payment by Thursday morning, I will assume you’re dropping your spot. I want to leave myself time to set up pools.
Weather:
- September 19 is late in the year, so this tournament is weather dependent.
Thank you to everyone for participating. I’ll update this as time passes, but let’s get some more ladies out on the grass! Money goes towards water, snacks, and other items available for FREE; and prizes, of course. Every single penny goes into the tournament, whether it’s for prizes, the field, or provisions.
I know this is late in the season, but with my schedule, it was either this weekend or not host this year. Thank you to everyone who has participated over the last six years and who chooses to continuously support this tournament that means so much to me. I try to give everyone the best experience I can.
I will be providing pastries and coffee, as usual!
Photos will be taken by Drew Selby, and he will post them in the event afterwards.
