About Pottstown Rumble
After more than 30 years, The Pottstown Rumble has become one of the largest, and certainly the toughest, volleyball event in the country. Pottstown is the battleground for volleyball players testing their skills, their mettle, and their toughness.
Rumble players abide by “Old School Rules,” meaning they play “side-out” scoring, no let-serves, and blocks do not count as hits. They also play on the original large court size.
Early on, Pottstown Rumble was billed as “A volleyball tournament run by the players, for the players.” This moniker is still true and might answer as to why so many players love The Rumble and respect the organizers.
Large cash prizes are available for first-place winners.
