I have always viewed Atlantic City solely as a gambling town until this past weekend. After stepping outside away from the noisy slot machines and hopeful gamblers there is beautiful four mile boardwalk filled with life and high energy.
The East End Volleyball Tour and Bally’s Casino presented the $8,000 Big Shot Championships Aug. 28-29. During the course of the beach season you could win a trip to Atlantic City by placing first in a tournament hosted by EEVB. There were teams from North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, New York, Chicago, and Michigan all competing for the championship.
The location of the tournament was amazing. There was a beach bar to the left of the courts and to the right was the ocean and sun bathers. The New Jersey crowd certainly got into the game. Check out the You tube videos you can hear the loud cheering and screaming from the crowd.
Waboba was a sponsor for Megan Wallin, Chara Harris and Mark VanZwieten. The athletes handed out Waboba balls to the fans and athletes surrounding the court. Megan and Chara battled through the losers’ bracket and into the finals after losing the first match of the day. They lost a tight game in three in the finals. Check out the game footage below.
Also, Megan Wallin, Chara Harris, Racquel Beson and Kelly Haan were celebrity guest at the Resort Casino. I am sure some video footage will be coming out soon!
