More Than a Game

Volleyball at
The Hayfield

Where competition meets worship, prayer meets play, and teams come together to lift up the name of Jesus.

This Isn't Just Volleyball

At The Hayfield, volleyball is a vehicle for something much bigger. Our tournaments and camps are worship and prayer events where teams come together to lift up the name of Jesus.

Between matches, you'll hear Christian music filling the air. Between points, you'll hear encouraging words instead of trash talk. Before and after games, teams pray together. And at the end of the day, everyone gathers for a powerful time of worship and prayer.

We believe that competition, joy, prayer, and worship can all share the same field. Come play hard, cheer loud, and encounter God in the middle of it all.
