The Fresh Coast Champions Cup is back!

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 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 doubles divisions on Sunday.

  • Attend our free player party Saturday night at the Sugar Maple and enjoy live music and mixologist crafted summer cocktails.

  • Or, come down Sunday to watch the best grass volleyball you will see all year, featuring a DJ and live commentary.

  • Maybe do all four! 

The Junior Grass Clinic presented by Wisconsin Elite is open to any and all entrants between the ages of 11-18 on Saturday from 10am-12pm. The clinic is 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 quads tournament!
