Mesquite Monthly

The Mesquite Rotary Club’s popular Mudd Volleyball Tournament, held behind the Eureka Casino Resort, will take place on Sept. 21. For the 10th year, area teams will compete for a chance to win a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place trophy.

Team sign-in will begin at 8 a.m. The Mesquite PD and Fire Rescue teams will start the fun at 9 a.m. as they vie for the “Studds of The Mudd” title for 2024-25! Team play will follow right after.

Teams of six players cost $240 and include a unique “Mudd” t-shirt for each player. One alternate player is allowed for an additional $40. The money raised will provide scholarships for graduating seniors, the Children’s Story Walk, food pantries, and several community improvements, to name a few.  

“The tournament has become an annual event that is very popular with players and spectators alike,” said organizer Linda Gault. “We put a lot of hard work and love into making it a fun event for everyone.”

Teams are encouraged to come in costume and vie for the “Best Team Costume” prize. Three judges will review all costumed teams and vote in these categories: Best Theme, Creativity/Originality, Attention to Detail, Most Humorous, and Effort. So have some fun, use your imagination, and come up with the best costume and win!
