Spikeball - Sin City Classic
About Sin City Classic
The Sin City Classic Sports Festival is a multi-day LGBTQ sports festival hosted annually by The Greater Los Angeles Softball Association (GLASA) in Las Vegas during the four days prior to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Started in 2008, the event has grown to become the largest annual LGBTQ sporting event in the world.
Each year nearly 7,000 LGBTQ athletes and another 2,000 fans and allies supporting 20-plus sports make Sin City Classic one of their must-attend events each year. The festival provides an open atmosphere for LGBTQ athletes to connect and compete through various sports over the course of four days of competition and social activities.
What to expect
This will be a fun event regardless of your skill level. All teams will get to play a bunch of games in pool play, everyone qualifies for the bracket, and there are consolation matches too. There will be drinks, snacks, and fun competitions to play throughout the day. The winners of each division will receive trophies and Spikeball products.
The Sin City Classic organizes a bunch of fun events throughout the entire weekend. Participation in the Spikeball tournament gives you a wristband which allows you to access opening and closing ceremonies, exclusive parties, and other social mixers throughout the weekend.
