Saturday Night at the Lindsay Event Center was LIT!!! 🏐 Thank you to everyone who joined us for our very first Glowdown: Teen & Adult Coed Volleyball Tournament!

One of the biggest highlights of the night was watching our teen teams battle their way through a bracket filled with adult teams. They proved they could compete with anyone, earning 3rd and 4th place finishes and pushing the top adult teams with some impressive volleyball.

And we think everyone in attendance would agree that the Teen Net Ninjas stole the show. This all-female team of 14- and 15-year-olds played with incredible confidence and determination, going toe-to-toe at the net with adult male players. Watching them rack up spike kills, stuff blocks, and refuse to back down against much older competition was one of the most exciting parts of the entire tournament.

We welcomed 8 teams and players from Columbus, Norfolk, Genoa, Pender, and Humphrey, and every one of them said we need to do this again!

🏆 Congratulations to our inaugural Glowdown champions:

🥇 1st Place – Team Keila (Columbus)
🥈 2nd Place – DFL (Columbus)
🥉 3rd Place – Teen Net Ninjas (Humphrey, Norfolk, Pender)
🏅 4th Place - Team Olson-Teen (Genoa)

Thank you to all of the players, spectators, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make our first Glowdown such a success. We can't wait to turn the lights off, fire up the neon, and do it all again!
