Volley for Mitchell (VFM) is a 4 on 4 sand volleyball tournament played each year to raise funds for Parent Project MD research. Each team is guaranteed 2 matches. VFM is played using rally scoring (point on every volley). First team to 15 wins a game with best 2 out of 3 games winning the match.
This year’s VFM will be back at THE SCORE RESTAURANT & SPORTS BAR restaurant on Northland Drive, Grand Rapids MI. Plenty of parking is available. Family and friends are welcome to watch games and cheer on players with outdoor seating around all three courts.
No rain date planned. (“We’ve been lucky so far!“)
All players young and not so young are welcome to play. Four player teams can be all male or female teams as well as mixed “co-ed” teams. Looking to keep it competitive yet fun, so 18+ year old teams must have a minimum of 1 female per team. We’ll create divisional brackets based on age groups and how many players register.
Volley for Mitchell started with the thought of helping Steve and Sandy Peterson, founders of Mitchell’s Run thru Rockford, raise even more money to help Parent Project MD lead the fight to end Duchenne, a disorder their son Mitchell lives with.
The 4 on 4 sand volleyball tournament is now in its 13TH YEAR and has raised NEARLY $150,000 in support of Duchenne muscular dystrophy research.
Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy relies on the generosity of individuals around the world, like you, who believe in our mission and in the power to make a difference in the lives of those diagnosed with — and families fighting against — Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
