Winter’s Hottest Volleyball Party
What started in 1990 in Cranbrook, B.C. has grown into one of the biggest coed 6's tournaments in the country. Since moving to Spokane in 2013, The Sizzler has kept its legendary party spirit alive—and then some.
January 2024 broke records with 112 teams and we continue to sell out every year at MAX capacity! This isn’t just a tournament—it’s a weekend-long celebration of volleyball, music, friends, and fun. Picture this: a bar overlooking the courts, your favorite party playlist echoing through the venue, and nonstop good vibes on and off the court.
The party doesn’t stop after the last whistle. Saturday night, keep the energy going with our Social & Casino Night—drinks, appetizers, games, music, and more! Then roll right into the night with exclusive drink specials at bars, just steps away.
Join us and be part of the madness.
Thank you to all the players, fans, and volunteers who make The Sizzler the can't-miss event of the winter!
