1st Place Volleyball kicked off the 2013 tournament season with their new partners at Tournament Magic this past weekend at the A-town Showdown in Atlanta!

There was a serious chill in the Georgia air, but 1st Place came to the rescue with volleyball hoodies, Snoozie slippers, and fleece volleyball blankets.
To get even warmer, the players stopped by the booth regularly to warm-up for their games “Gangnam Style”.

Volleyball teams were not the only ones participating in a serious showdown; we captured the attention of the Dad- crowd by streaming the Atlanta Falcon/San Francisco 49er NFC Championship game live on the 1st Place TV. After a heartfelt loss, the viewing Falcon fans found consolation in purchasing shoes, spandex and kneepads.

The 1st Place truck was unloaded only a day after return, and the Capitol Hill Classic has become our focus for these next couple of weeks. We’re looking forward to seeing you in D.C.!

It’s that time of year again and here at 1^st Place Volleyball, we are excited to start this year’s tournament season. The 2013 tournament schedule is as follows:
