Time for our 3rd annual winter classic! This year we have a TON of new things planned!
The TWO DAY tournament will take place at the UPJ wellness and sports center. The formats are coed sixes on Saturday and coed quads on Sunday, we'll be taking 10 teams for both days. New this year will also be a high school/club division for both days!!! We will be taking ten teams as well for each day.
Saturday:
-Liberos Allowed
-3-3 format
-$210 Per team
-$420 to first (dependent on the number of teams signed up)
-Shirts and gift cards to second
Sunday:
-2-2 format
-$140 per team
-$280 to first (dependent on the number of teams signed up)
-Shirts and gift cards to second
IMPORTANT: Per usual, we are going to be donating the proceeds to two local volleyball teams/clubs. In the past we have hand selected teams but want to change it up. This year we would like any team or club that would like to participate, to send us a team video introducing themselves and telling us a little bit about the team, also explaining what they would do with the money and how it would help/benefit them if they were selected. We will pick two teams from the videos we receive and announce a winner on Jan 1! Teams have from now until December 31st to send their videos to our Facebook or email us at [email protected]
The serving contest will be back again this year as well. For $1, you can serve a ball and try to hit various prizes on the other side such as shirts, gift cards, cash, hoodies, backpacks, and more!!
There will be concessions running both days, and there will also be an after party Saturday night at a location to be announced at a later date. There will be drink and food specials with karaoke like in previous years. Keep an eye out for shirt orders as well.
There will be a $5 admission fee for the high school portion of the tournament, 17 and under will be free!
This is always the best tournament of the year and we're looking forward to having the biggest and best year yet!!
