Welcome to the official website of the annual Shamrock Festival volleyball tournament. Here you will find all of the information you need to ensure that your team and its fans enjoy our tournament. As always, the tournament will be held in the Roanoke Valley for teams in the 14, 16, and 18 & under age divisions with teams in the 13, 15, and 17 & under age divisions all encouraged to play-up in the higher age groups. The 2011 Shamrock Festival saw 228 teams competing from VA, NC, PA, MD, TN, SC, & WV and included teams from 7 different USAV regions. Historically, Shamrock has attracted teams from as far north as NY & NJ and as far south as GA & FL. In addition, we attract dozens of college coaches from all over the East Coast each year… click HERE for a list of schools who recruited at Shamrock in 2011. We also typically enjoy some very nice post-tournament coverage on prepvolleyball.com.

The Shamrock Festival is one of the largest nationally-sanctioned USAV tournament and one of the premier volleyball events for juniors on the East Coast. Follow all of the tournament action on this website with live scoring updates every hour throughout the tournament. Registration typically opens around 12/1 and is handled through AES.
