THE CREATION OF SOMETHING GREAT

The Willamette Volleyball Classic was the first major club volleyball tournament in the Mid-Valley area and remains one of the biggest tournaments in the State of Oregon.  Entering its 15th year in 2021, the tournament looks to continue its impressive growth, all while making a renewed effort to partner with the local community to give back in any way possible.

The Willamette Classic began in 2007 with just 134 teams, and has seen had as many as 216 teams.  

NEW TO 2021: THE WILLAMETTE VOLLEYBALL CLASSIC WILL BE HELD IN SALEM, OREGON AT THE FAIRGROUNDS AND SURROUNDING FACILITIES.

This isn't meant to be a tournament that is some sort of impersonal qualifier with volleyball courts stretched out in one building for as far as the eye can see.  This tournament is about fun.  Our goal is to mix in a fun and unique environment with a highly-competitive tournament, which is what we've been able to do very successfully.

We look forward to welcoming everybody back at our new site on May 7-9, 2021, for a fantastic 15th edition of the Willamette Volleyball Classic.

IN GENERAL (FOR 3 TEAM POOLS) Each team plays in two different waves on Saturday - two separate pools, one in the morning, one in the afternoon - four matches total.
