Some of the top college men’s volleyball teams in the nation will travel to Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee, for the 2019 Grow the Game the Challenge on Jan. 18-20. The Grow the Game Challenge is an annual non-conference tournament that brings regular season matches to an area of the nation that does not have a NCAA Division I-II men’s volleyball team. With a 10-team field, this event will be the largest college men’s volleyball non-conference tournament during the 2019 season. Check out all you need to know about the tournament match schedule, the teams and how you can help support our effort to bring college men’s volleyball to a new region of the country.
