Fresh Coast Champions Cup Final 2023
Welcome to the inaugural Fresh Coast Champions Cup!
This one of a kind grass volleyball event combines a traditional tournament format with an exciting exhibition element to showcase the best volleyball players in the country. Test your skills by competing in Saturday's qualifier (Men's Open Triples) to make it to Sunday and play against the Champions of last year's major grass tournaments. Play for fun in our amateur triples divisions on Saturday and coed fours divisions on Sunday. Or, come down Sunday to watch the best grass volleyball you will see all year, featuring a DJ and live commentary by Rob St. Claire. Maybe do all three!
Attention Junior Players! Volley Life is hosting a junior grass clinic open to all players 18 and under on Saturday from 10am-12pm. The clinic will be taught by the professional players from Sunday’s exhibition match. Learn skills and strategies for grass volleyball, a format you can play around the country for years after high school and college. Then, test what you just learned by competing on Sunday in the junior triples tournament!

There are no membership requirements to participate in this event.
Invited teams for the exhibition are pulled from the top finishers from last years major grass events, such as Waupaca Boatride, Pottstown, The Clash, Susquehannah Smash, The Chicago Luau, and Grass Nationals. If you think you deserve an invite, please contact admins@volley-life.com to argue your case.
We hope that many of you will consider staying after you are finished playing or simply coming down to watch and support our efforts to give grass volleyball the recognition and professionalism it deserves at the highest level. Wisconsin is after all the Mecca of grass volleyball in the country.
