Mini-Volleyball Division
For the first time ever we hosted a demonstration tournament of Mini-Volleyball. This variation of volleyball was played on a court measuring 20' x 20' with the net height set at 5'-6". There were four players on at a time and the players rotated as soon as they sent the ball across the net. If there were players off the court, they rotated onto the court as their team sent the ball across the net. Play was initiated by the coaches alternating free balls to each side.

The biggest change to full-sized volleyball rules was to allow the players to catch the first two of three contacts in order to emphasize hitting and blocking, which there was plenty of. We played the first two sets to 15 with a deciding set to 7. Matches were scheduled every 20 minutes.

We ran two 3-team pools and then a single elimination bracket. We crowned a champion and had the entire tournament complete within 4 hours using just one court.


Congratulations to the winners of the mini-volleyball division, Team 1! This team consisted of Hannah Rehnfeldt, Krista Titus, Kayla Self, Samantha Drechsel, and Mikaela Mitchell.

Results Posting
Results were posted much more slowly this year than in past years due to our webmaster needing to coach his team, which was thoroughly enjoyable. The final results are posted now and we will post the photos of the winners of all divisions plus the All Tournament Selections and Candis Carter award winners in the coming days.

Lost and Found
We have collected many items in the lost and found and we will make every effort to match lost items with their owners. Please contact us if you have lost anything and we will try to get it to you in one way or another.
