Mud Volleyball


Awesome idea. This is something that I would definitely enjoy:
Quote :
The 23rd annual Mud Volleyball Tournament for Epilepsy is set for Saturday, Aug. 6, at Kelly Meyers Park in Roscoe.

The event raised about $35,000 last year for the Epilepsy Foundation of North/ Central Illinois, Iowa & Nebraska.

"We have 240 teams, and they average about 10 people a team. Then we have another couple of thousand spectators on top of that," said Shea Godwin, the Epilepsy Foundation's director of education and development.

Last year the event drew about 7,000 people, including players, spectators and volunteers.

Looks like it was fun:


It's called mud volleyball, but Saturday the courts in Kelley Meyers Park in Roscoe resembled something more like mud soup.

I think everyone wins. We get $$ for the local foundation. We laugh at the mud coated players. THe players seem to have a lot of fun. The mud does NOT seem to mind. There are showers and then the players have fun SLIDING down the hill afterward! LOL> it is a riot! (I sit there nice and clean and watch the Program director work to NOT get tossed in the mud!) I had to work HARD to keep Sam from tossing me in last year! I did get a muddy hand on my back from him, but other than that....good fun....

G...so that answer is ............

yes,

More in OHIO


They have Mud tourneys in Dayton and Columbus Ohio as well. I don't know about Cincy, but the others bring in live music. Dayton turns theirs into a JAZZ fest.

I hope to attend this year.

Hello all. This mud volleyball seems like a lot of fun, and I was hoping somebody could help me. AS some of you may know, I play professional beachtennis, and that is all i want to do. Since this is a new sport, I would love to help introduce the sport to different areas, but doing all in the name of charity. I have spoken with different players, and they seem to like the idea ( they know how dedicated I am to epilepsy awareness, and in fact had Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy written on my back last year) Unfortunately, I have been angry for the last three years, and have made poor decisions. However, I am hoping to change all of that. If anybody has any ideas, please let me know. I just hate to waste this opportunity because of the way I have acted the last three years. By the way, if done by a beach, I could have some of the world's top kite surfers involved as well. I just want to make a difference, and feel I can be a big help.
