USA Volleyball has brought its All-Star Championship event to Tulsa’s Cox Business Convention Center this summer after the competition had to be canceled last year due to COVID-19. Approximately 100 all-star teams from USA Volleyball regions across the country are competing through Saturday for championship titles. Multiple age groups and divisions include international juniors players.
“The city of Tulsa is honored to host this coveted championship in volleyball,” said Mayor G.T. Bynum.
It is anticipated that The event is expected to have an $8.6 million economic impact on Tulsa, with 9,509 room-nights booked.
Fans can attend a single day of the competition for $10 or all days of the tournament — which began Wednesday and ends Saturday — for $40. Children 10 and younger get in free.
Fans also can watch games on four featured courts for free, with no log-in required, at bit.ly/vballstrm.
The Cox Business Convention Center also just hosted USA Volleyball’s Indoor Summer Training Series, and the U19 Girls Pan American Volleyball Cup began Monday and will run concurrently with the All-Star Championships through Saturday.
“It’s great for our city to have so many incredible athletes coming to Tulsa this week, many experiencing Tulsa for their first time,” said Ashleigh Bachert of Tulsa Regional Tourism.
