Wisconsin is sandwiched between states who have plenty of different scenarios when it comes to volleyball this fall.
Iowa – full high school season
Illinois – spring high school season
Michigan – gyms are not open
Minnesota – spring high school season
Wisconsin – school districts can choose fall or spring high school seasons
At Prep Dig, we want to provide a chance for athletes who are not having a fall season a chance to compete. We still have spots for our Prep Dig Fall League (PDFL) to be played five Monday nights throughout the fall at the CFCC for Varsity and JV and we are proud to announce our four Saturday tournaments:
Hosted at the Community First Champion Center in Appleton, Wisconsin
Saturday, September 12 – The Fall Kickoff
Saturday, September 19 – Harvest Hustle
Saturday, September 26 – Octoberfest
Saturday, October 17 – Pumpkin Spice Slam
How Does Registration Work?
These events are four separate tournaments that are independent, meaning this can be high school teams, for Illinois and Minnesota they might bring a fall club team, or for others it might be athletes combining from other schools to form a team to play. When you register your team please give a description of the team you will be bringing so we can do our best to provide the most competitive matchups for your teams. There will be teams consisting of Freshmen and Sophomores that we can have brackets for with similar competition levels – just make sure to indicate that in the registration.

How Will Spectators Be Allowed?
We have been working with the CFCC to be able to allow spectators for these events (10 wristbands for spectators per team). These tickets will be purchased in advance. More information to come in the next week.
We Don’t Have a Head Coach. What Should We Do?
This could be possible. In Wisconsin, a lot of coaches will have to be hands off in regards to this league (Coaches – check with your AD). For head coach, provide a parent representative where we can communicate with them in regards to league details, payments, logistics, and other information in regard to the events.
How do the Waves work?
We have set up a smooth system at the CFCC where teams play in waves that allow more games in a short amount of time in order to control the number of athletes as well as spectators in the building. The wave times are tentative on the registration page, but we try and work with teams attending to provide the best competition within their wave.
If there were fans in the stand they would all stand up and applaud both sides with the effort and overall great play! Menomonie Falls takes the 🏆 in three sets pic.twitter.com/ejZE0FiiKm
