Feb 24, 2013 - 2013 Location Announcement
The Waupaca Boatride/US Open Grass Volleyball Tournament is pleased to announce Brighton Acres in Oshkosh, Wisconsin as the site of this year's event to be held July 12-14, 2013.
Brighton Acres is a family run property that features a bar and gym called The Sports Shed, as well as soccer fields and sand volleyball courts. The grass tournaments will be played on fields similar to what we've been playing on for the past couple of years. For those that played in 2011 at the Country USA Grounds, this property is just to the South of that. We put together a map to give you a general idea of the area we will be in (note: this satellite map is almost 2 years old, so it doesn't represent the grounds very well). More details coming soon.
