Welcome to the Carlisle Crush

The Carlisle Crush hosted its first grass volleyball tournament in July of 2023. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization. All donations are tax deductible.

Our mission is to promote volleyball in the greater central Pennsylvania area and help financially support our local programs that share this vision.

We have partnered with the YMCA and several local school districts to organize this great annual event that creates a fun filled weekend volleyball experience for everyone.

The board of directors loves the sport of volleyball and our vision for the Carlisle Crush is to become the largest grass volleyball tournament in the country.
