We'd like to invite all of you to our Phoenix Rising Summer Series tournament. In the spirit of safely reopening Arizona and volleyball, we've developed a June tournament series that makes a lot of sense.

- No downtime, no team camps, only 3 hours in the gym - promotes a safer experience and we feel, better volleyball

- Bonus Points:
- If you beat a higher seed, you get an additional bonus point
