Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Plains is hosting a Big Spike Volleyball Tournament on May 3 at Southport Rec Plex, and it’s shaping up to be a fun-filled day for all participants. This is the first time Big Brothers Big Sisters has hosted a mixed volleyball tournament. Each team is required to have at least three women on the court and promises to provide at least three games for every team involved.
Laura Spelliscy, Mentoring Coordinator for Big Brothers Big Sisters, shared that the tournament is not only about friendly competition but also about supporting a great cause.
"The whole goal of the tournament is to have fun together and also raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters to support our mentoring programs. It’s a wonderful opportunity to play volleyball while making a difference in the lives of local youth."
While the tournament is already receiving interest, Spelliscy encourages more teams to sign up in the coming weeks.
"We've had some teams register already, and we're hoping to see even more as we get closer to the event."
For those who want to help but don't have a team, Spelliscy mentioned that volunteering is a great way to get involved.
"If you don't have a team but still want to be part of the day, I can definitely find ways for you to help. Just reach out, and we'll get you involved."
The event also serves as a fundraising opportunity, with a prize awarded to the team that raises the most money.
"Come out and support a great cause, while having a blast playing volleyball. It's going to be a fantastic day!"
