About the WVC
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 2023, 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.
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 13-14, 2023, for a fantastic 15th edition of the Willamette Volleyball Classic.

Pink Out
It's Pink Out on Sunday at the WVC for Mother's Day!
The WVC is special because it takes place on Mother's Day, and we feel Mother's Day is a great time to recognize numerous cancer awareness and research initiatives going on in our area. As part of this, we ask all of our teams to wear pink on Sunday.
