Molten Wisconsin Boys Volleyball Festival



Get excited, volleyball fans.

The 2013 Molten Boys Festival is mere days away. The two-day event kicks off Saturday, Feb. 2, and we can't wait!

This year marks the 15th anniversary of this prestigious tournament, which is a qualifier for the 2013 Boys' Junior National Championships being held June 27-July 4 in Reno, Nevada.

The tournament will be held at 12 venues throughout the Milwaukee area and its suburbs. Over 6,000 parents, players, coaches, referees and spectators will be in attendance.

Badger Region Volleyball Association's Tournament Director, Terry Paulson, along with his wife Nancy, have been running the event since its creation.

"Terry and I are thrilled to host over 200 teams from around the country and Canada this weekend!" Nancy Paulson said. "The competition to obtain one of the USA Volleyball Boys Junior National Championship bids will certainly bring out the best competitive level in the boys at all age divisions. If you love the game, it is truly something to witness. We are continually amazed by the power and athleticism, along with the passion, that we see each year. It just seems to get better all the time."

It should be a great weekend of high-level volleyball. Be sure to head over and cheer on our Badger Region boys! Good luck to all participating.
