Bay View Middle School held an all-school volleyball tournament after school. We ran a round robin tournament from 3-5 PM and had 11 teams participate. The winning two teams played the championship game at our all-school assembly and the winning team then played the staff team. It was great to see over 100 students choosing to be active in our tournament!. Our SWAG group made videos and posters and talked about it with their peers. They organized a concession stand and decided on how much money it would cost to participate. They will also be deciding on how the raised money will be spent towards.

How did you accomplish your goals?

This is our second tournament. The first year we had 8 teams, this year we had 11!

What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?

Finding gym space is always a challenge when hosting after-school tournaments.

How do you plan to make this Play last during the school year and beyond?

This is our second year holding this tournament and our students are working on scheduling it again for next year!
