Make a list of everything that needs to get done and by whom with our Timeline Planner. Or use a free online planner like, Trello.

YOU’LL NEED: 

  1. A date, time and a volleyball court with volleyball net (have lots of people? try to get more courts so everyone can get in on the fun).
  2. At least 2 volleyballs per court, in case one gets lost or pops.
  3. Signs and posters.
  4. A bullhorn or loud friend.
  5. Photographer or videographer to capture the moment.
  6. Whistles.
  7. Cones/paint if you’re setting up your court on grass, tape for gyms, and rope for sand.
  8. Tables for the bracket, registration, water, snacks or selling t-shirts.
  9. Concession stand with volunteers if you want to raise some extra money for your cause.
  10. An easel to display the bracket- you can also use a table.
  11. Stopwatch for timing matches.
  12. A bracket and poster for teams- here’s how to build one.
  13. Referees, if possible.
  14. Award or trophy for the winners.
  15. Event donation box and some smaller bills to make change.
  16. A team for set up and a team for clean up.

HOW IT GOES DOWN:

  1. Collect an entry fee from each team and ask them to set up fundraising pages leading up to the event to activate peer to peer fundraising.
  2. Try to create/find as many courts as possible, so you can get the most people playing at once!
  3. Fill out your bracket once teams show up.
  4. Ask teams to wear costumes or tshirts of the same color- they’re a great for team unity.
  5. Cheer everyone on!

Volleyball Rules!

  1. Have 4-6 players per team. If teams have uneven amounts of players, have the team with more players sub their extras in and out to make it fair.
  2. The ball must be served from behind the end line, underhand or overhand.
  3. First game serve is determined by a volley, each subsequent game is served by the previous game loser.
  4. Offense will score on a defense miss or out of bounds hit.
  5. Defense will score on an offensive miss, out of bounds hit, or serve into the net.
  6. Official games are played to 25 points, but that can be set lower to speed up the tournament.
  7. Must win by 2 points.
  8. Team will rotate each time they win the serve.
  9. Player may not hit the ball twice in succession.
  10. A ball touching a boundary line is good.
