  • Spikeball Tournament (11 am - 2 pm in Central Park)

    Spikeball is no stranger to Epicnic, but this year we're making it official with a tournament. Serve, spike, and dive your way through the competition as teams battle it out on the round net in a single elimination bracket. Register as a duo or sign up solo and we'll pair you with a partner. Players of all levels are welcome to join. Pre-register to secure a spot, or walk up during Epicnic to join the fun if space allows.

    No Look Volleyball Tournament (11 am - 2 pm on the Back 40 volleyball courts)

    The No-Look Volleyball Tournament combines all the fun of volleyball with the excitement and exhilaration of tarps! Bump your way past the competition on the path to victory, while a (thrilling) tarp blocks your view of the opposing team – and their view of you. Overhand serves, spikes, and blocks are not allowed. The tournament is a single elimination style bracket (no pool play). Pre-registration required.

    Tug-O-War Tournament (2 pm - 3 pm in Central Park)

    Teams will face off in a head-to-head pull contest culminating in the championship tug. Register up to ten people for your squad or sign up a partial team and we can add solo ringers. All are welcome to join. Walk-up teams can register the day of picnic until 12:45 p.m.
