Miscellaneous
Dave and Bernice Epperson created the Volleyball Festival in 1984 when their two daughters started playing volleyball in junior high school. Only eight years after the enactment of Title IX, there were still very few resources available to support female sports in most schools. They took it upon themselves to create an experience for their daughters and many other young female volleyball players, and now the small event in 1984 has grown into one of the largest competitions in the country today. (Please note, the original audio was compromised, so we did the best we could with the camera audio to bring you the story of how the Volleyball Festival began)
