Game Day
We’re just as excited as you to spend the day on the beach at HOPE Volleyball SummerFest! Whether you’re playing in our tournament for the first time, or you need a quick refresher, here’s a quick snapshot of what the weekend looks like…
FRIDAY, JULY 11th: KIT PICK-UP AND PRE-PARTY
5:00 PM
The HOT Zone is open at Mooney’s Bay Beach!
Anyone on your team can pick up your Team Kit (filed by your Team Captain’s last name); the person picking up the kit will need to sign for it. *Note: H.O.P.E. will not release Team Kits until all waivers are signed by your teammates.
Once you’ve collected your kit, it’s time to get the party started early!
The bar is open, the tunes are spinning, and the beach is yours to familiarize yourself with. Call it a little calm before the competition... or the best way to get your team AMPED UP and ready to play!
UNTIL 9:00 PM
The New HOT 89.9 will be providing the tunes
Rally your team with a few friendly rounds of Volley Pong and Cornhole, or kick back and enjoy the calm before Game Day! Plus, we'll be selling Catch the Ace lottery tickets for those who are feeling lucky!
