Tournaments hosted by our club
Each year, we host several tournaments.
This is a fund raiser for our Club. We have used number of sites, recently
they have been West Salem High School and Willamette University. The
Oregon Heritage Classic is a tourney that was started several years ago and has
been on hold for past two years. The idea behind this tourney was to host
a major volleyball event in our region.
