VolleyThon History

Since I've joined Heritage Baptist Church and have become the teen leader, I have been amazed at the life-changing decisions that have been made by the teens from our church and from churches all over the area. It seems like each year I get more and more excited about how each of the players, coaches and volunteers work together to bring a day of hard work together to glorify God with this excellent tool for evangelism and fellowship. Our teens always look forward to the volleython all year. Since 2002 it has been run under the auspices of the Victory Association Teens.
This will be the 11th year in this area.

In 2002 we had 8 teams on 3 courts at the Memorial Baptist in Rockford.
In 2003 we had 18 teams on 5 courts at Prairie Hill in Roscoe.
In 2004 we had 32 teams on 16 courts at the Honnenegah dome.
In 2005 we had 30 teams on 16 courts.
In 2006 we had 37 teams on 16 courts.
In 2007 we had 36 teams on 18 courts.
In 2008 we had 32 teams on 16 courts.
In 2009 we had 40 teams on 18 courts.
In 2010 we had 39 teams on 16 courts.
In 2011 we had 42 teams on 18 courts.
Over the years we have seen souls saved and lives strengthened, youth groups have been unified and youth workers have had wonderful bonding experiences with their teens. Friendships have been forged and lessons have been learned. If you've never been to the Volleython and are still deciding whether to join us, please do! You and your teens won't regret it.
