About College Grass Open
College Grass Open (CGO) is a competitive collegiate grass volleyball event built to give college athletes a true tour-style experience.
We are creating a structured, season-based environment where players compete for prizes, recognition, and high-level competition.
Our Mission
- A professionally run tournament experience.
- Individual player recognition.
- A competitive, high-energy environment.
We aim to bridge the gap between casual college play and elite-level competition by introducing a format inspired by professional tours — while keeping it accessible to all enrolled college athletes.
How It Works
- Players compete in divisions (AA, A, etc.).
Tournament Format
Each CGO event features a structured competition format designed to maximize play and maintain a competitive environment.
- Pool play to begin the tournament.
- Top teams advance to a playoff bracket.
- Championship match determines the event winner.
This format ensures consistent competition while rewarding top-performing teams.
Partnership Format
- Open partnership model — compete with any partner who meets the eligibility requirements.
- Partners do not need to be from the same school, and partnerships can change from tournament to tournament.
- Players are free to compete with different partners at each event throughout the season, allowing flexibility while maintaining a competitive collegiate environment.
This format maximizes competitiveness while maintaining a true collegiate identity.
What Makes CGO Different
- Slunks sponsorship with more on the way.
- Cash incentives.
- Clean, structured event management.
- A growing collegiate grass community.
The Future
College Grass Open is building the foundation for a growing collegiate grass volleyball circuit. As the series expands, we aim to introduce additional event stops, increased participation from schools across the region, and a stronger competitive environment for collegiate athletes.
