The Biggest Professional Beach Volleyball Event in Kansas City History – September 13th
For the first time, Shawnee Mission Beach Volleyball will host the biggest professional beach volleyball event in Kansas City history on September 13th— a single-day, high-stakes showdown. The George Brett 4v4 Volleyball Showdown will bring together 24 pros from across the USA to form six elite teams — three men’s and three women’s — who will compete head-to-head for a cash prize.
Kansas City Royals Legend George Brett is teaming up with AVP hall of famer Steve Obradovich and SBMV owner Lance Windholz to bring this incredible event to the Kansas City area for the first time.
Be a part of the excitement and witness the power of the most talented athletes competing in games on the beach. These aren’t your average volleyball games. This is a custom-built, high-octane 4-on–4 format designed for speed, power, and nonstop action to ensure every rally is electric.
But there’s a twist:
One amateur team will rise from the Battle 4 the Bid qualifier tournament on August 16th to take the court with the pros. A-once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against the best in the nation. Will you answer the call?
Catch the action September 13th
You’ll be shoulder to shoulder with thousands of fired-up fans, live DJ, beer gardens, food trucks, exclusive merch, and the energy of an event unlike anything KC has ever seen.
