Myrtle Beach to Host Youth Volleyball Tournament

According to WMBF News, a large Volleyball Tournament will be coming to Myrtle Beach January 15th & 16th sponsored by USA Volleyball. The City's goal is to see 150 teams compete in the tournament!

"The Mayor's office received applications from 80 teams within 24 hours of posting the tournament online. The tournament is recognized by USA Volleyball, the sport's national governing body. "What we're hoping is that college coaches might come to recruit some of their players," Grand Strand Juniors Volleyball Club Coach Alex Sing said. He sees the tournament as an opportunity to make the Grand Strand a competitive volleyball contender. Athletes between the ages of 12 and 18 are invited to compete. They will play on one of 16 courts at the convention center, or 6 courts at other locations in the city."
