This year marks the 21st Annual Co-ed Beach Volleyball Tournament. The first volleyball court that was built in Broome County was constructed in Otsiningo Park (home of the Spiedie Fest/Balloon Rally) in 1983, through the cooperative efforts of the county parks department and the Binghamton Volleyball Club. A few years later, two courts were built in a different location, and then expanded to four courts. At this time, the Spiedie Fest/Balloon Rally was looking to expand and include a volleyball tournament, and with the help of the club members it was a success and grew from year to year. Through this tournament, volleyball has expanded throughout the county to where there are now over a dozen sand courts and many leagues. Binghamton Volleyball is still a major component in the tournament success and promoting volleyball throughout Broome County. To find out more about Binghamton Volleyball, with all the men’s and women’s teams, you can visit the website at www.tier.net/bv.

The Volleyball Tournament will be held beginning Saturday morning, August 1, 2008 and on Sunday morning, August 2, 2008 at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton. This year’s format will be as follows: Saturday will be a “Competitive 4’s Co-ed” team format. Sunday will be a “Recreational 6 player Co-ed” team format.

If you like the sand, sun and playing volleyball, then get your team together and sign up. It does not matter what level that you play as we have both competitive and recreational levels. With enough teams registered, we will even break into Gold and Silver divisions so that you get more playing time and more prizes. Volleyball T-shirts and other giveaways will be given to each team captain upon registration the morning of the tournament to distribute to his or her team members. More details on the tournament as well as tournament rules and details on the parking will be sent to you after your team has registered and paid. All profits go to a variety of local charities through Catholic Charities.

Once in the park, you can enjoy the great variety of food, fun, music & entertainment when you are not playing and after the tournament. See the main website for everything that is available. There truly is something for everyone.
