Level 12 has done an amazing job with these volleyball events. You guys sure know how to throw a great volleyball event. It was well ran and the competition was matched well. Getting clubs from all over brings fun times for these athletes to meet someone new that also enjoys the sport of volleyball as we do. I look forward to participating in them again in years to come.

We absolutely love attending the Lincoln’s Birthday Bash volleyball tournament. From our admin staff, to coaches, to players, and families everyone enjoys the event. It’s a tournament that families ask to do again. We highly recommend it. The event is always ran smoothly and staff is hands on. They take the time to talk to coaches and get to know your club! Can’t wait for next year
