901Volleyball

The 2026 Volleyball Classic was our biggest event yet, and it’s all because of you.

🏐 50 teams, 207 players, 1 unforgettable day of volleyball, food, music, and community.

From the first serve of the morning to the championship matches, the energy on the courts was incredible. Whether you competed, volunteered, cheered from the sidelines, or stopped by to support a team, you helped make this year’s tournament our most successful ever.

We’re especially excited to share that, together, we raised a record-breaking $4,000 for the .rosarymem Athletic Program. These funds will help provide opportunities, equipment, and resources that directly benefit student-athletes in our community.

A special thank you goes to  of the  for stopping by the tournament! It was an unexpected highlight that made an already memorable day even more special.

Most importantly, thank you to every player, volunteer, and our sponsors, & , who helped create an event that was about much more than volleyball. The Memphis Italianfest Volleyball Classic continues to be a celebration of competition, community, and giving back, and this year raised the bar in every way.

On behalf of 901Volleyball and our partners at Holy Rosary, thank you for making history with us.

We can’t wait to see you back on the grass next year.

What a day. 🙌🏐

I just want to say how proud I am of this volleyball community. Our Men’s & Women’s 4v4 Indoor Volleyball Tournament brought out 19 teams and an incredible turnout! From the first whistle to the final point, the competition never let up. Every court had consistent play, long rallies, and teams battling for every ball.

But what stood out to me most wasn’t just the competition, it was the atmosphere. The energy in the gym was fun, positive, and competitive. The laughter between matches was a highlight!

I also want to personally thank the players who helped with setup and cleanup. You didn’t have to, but you did.

Congratulations to our champions and to all 19 teams who showed up and competed hard. I can’t wait to see you at our Coed 4v4 Indoor Volleyball Tournament on March 14!🏐

🥇Women’s Open: Volleyllamas
🥇Women’s BB: EZPass
🥇Men’s Open: Da Antagonists
🥇Men’s BB: 662/901 Hitmen

Congrats to all our 2025/26 Winter League warriors for sticking it through to the end given all the crazy Memphis weather! A special congrats to our champions!
