A grass volleyball tournament has been added to the City of
Snohomish Kla Ha Ya Days festivities starting in 2013. The tournament is
planning to feature 4v4 competition for junior and adult divisions on the
weekend of July 12-14 and will be part of the USA Volleyball Puget Sound Region
Summer Volleyball Championship. Information and registration is available
through Beach.SoundVolleyball.com.
Beach volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports in
America, fueled largely by the success of Misty May-Treanor and Kerri
Walsh-Jennings in Olympic Competition. Kla Ha Ya Days is hoping to tap
into both the rapidly growing junior volleyball population in and around
Snohomish and the adult population of players that have been left largely
without major tournaments to compete in Snohomish County.
“Kla Ha Ya Days is excited about adding a new iconic event
to its Festival schedule that supports the family friendly values of the
festival. We are excited to show off Snohomish to our new visitors.”
shared Tammie Isackson, president of Kla Ha Ya Days
The tournament is planning on having 10 or more courts worth
of action each day and each of the age divisions will be featured on the
Championship Court for their Semifinals and finals matches.
The goal of the directors is to create a memorable experience and grow the
event into a regional attraction similar to the Seaside Volleyball Tournament
in Oregon or the Spike and Dig Volleyball Tournament in Spokane.
“We are excited about the future of this tournament and
expect exponential growth in the years to come”
Registration for the event will open on April 1 and will be held through Beach.SoundVolleyball.com.
