Well, well!!! What an AMAZING way to close out on the last scheduled Sports event of 2023!!

You never know, we still have a couple more months to go and we may come up with a brand-new idea to host yet another sport ☺️

VT Seva Detroit’s 10th Volleyball & Throwball Tournament milestone was successfully concluded by raising funds to support the education of 7 visually challenged children!! The Orangutans gobbled up the Jellyfish in the Girl's Volleyball Ball Finals beating hard-playing AMS & SPARC Firecrackers in the Semis!! Loved the energy all the players showcased. I must say, such amusing Team names for sure. Way to go, Girls!!!

Detroit Champs did not want to give away their rolling Trophy after all 😉 They made a strong comeback against Achievers to win the Throwball final game. Michigan Mavericks did put up a strong fight against both teams.

In the Men's Volleyball, we have a new Champion, TUNE SQAUD !! They loggerheaded against last year's finalist, the Spikers. The final game was a real cliffhanger, going all the way to the deciding 3rd set.

All in all, it turned out to be a sun-filled, fun-filled, and action-packed day of Volleyball and throwball games!!

A warm heartfelt thanks to all the Players, Referees, Line Referees, Coaches, and Parents who signed up & supported this great cause through this tournament. It would not have been possible to execute such a huge tournament consisting of 15 teams, and over 120 players in 3 different categories without the HARDWORKING volunteers:

Youth volunteers:

Sai Karnati, Sneha, Sai Sahasra, Abishristi, Kirupali, Sanjana Datla, Kavya Karnati, Gaurang & Sridha.

Adult volunteers:

Srinath, Sudheer, Ram, Sirisha, Anand, Chandrasekhar, Raghunathan, Pavani, Architha, Sathya, Mahesh, Vanitha & Suresh
