Mark Scarpa, Beach Sports & Events Manager, enjoys how Morey’s Piers beach sports events highlight the fun, not just winning. “Sometimes youth sports can be too competitive, with too much focus on winning and moving on to the next game,” says Mark. “With these events, people can play the sport they love, but also have a lot of fun with their family and friends on the boardwalk.”
Some of the new additions to the beach sports calendar include a Beach Volleyball Tournament with Great American Volleyball and a Roundnet tournament called Jersey Shore SpikeFest 1.0. Roundnet is one of America’s fastest-growing sports that is inspired by volleyball and four-square.
“Tri-State Roundnet is thrilled to be having our first Jersey Shore SpikeFest at Morey’s Piers,” said Sebastian Boivin, Co-Founder of Tri-State Roundnet. “The wide beaches (which are great for roundnet), the attractions that Morey’s Piers offers, and the overall atmosphere that the pier provides are just some of the factors that make Morey’s such a great fit for our tournament!”
Morey’s has also partnered with Great American Volleyball to bring the fantastic sport of beach volleyball back to the Wildwoods, NJ. All the action takes place on the beach next to Morey’s Piers PigDog Beach Bar. Divisions range from recreational to top-tier, youth through adult, and doubles as well as six-a-side teams.
On August 14, Morey’s Mania Beach Wrestling and Casey Powell’s Beach Lacrosse Festival will both host their inaugural events on the beaches surrounding Morey’s Piers.
