Your Ultimate Guide to the Rudolph Rally Community Event at SoCal
The Rudolph Rally is one of the most exciting and heartwarming events we host at SoCal Volleyball Club each year. This festive, holiday-themed intra-club tournament is packed with fun, community spirit, and opportunities to give back. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this incredible event.
What is the Rudolph Rally?
The Rudolph Rally takes place every holiday season and is the perfect way to kick off the club season. It’s more than just a tournament—teams from our club play each other in a festive, supportive environment filled with good vibes and community spirit.
This event not only helps teams prepare for upcoming tournaments but also serves as a reminder of what SoCal is all about: fun, kindness, and connection.
How to Get Involved
1. Plan Your Festive Team Theme
In the weeks leading up to the rally, teams will work together to come up with a holiday-themed costume.
- Keep it simple and budget-friendly.
- Be inclusive of all winter holidays so everyone feels welcome and comfortable.
- The goal is to get into the spirit of the season and have fun with your team!
2. Attend the Vendor Fair
The rally isn’t just for players—it’s a community-wide celebration!
- We’ll host a local vendor fair under a tent in the back parking lot. [Email [email protected] to be a vendor]
- This is the perfect opportunity to shop small and pick up unique holiday gifts from local businesses.
- Food trucks will also be onsite, so bring your appetite!
3. Support our Local Food Bank
The Rudolph Rally doubles as a fundraiser for our Local Food Bank, and every year we raise over 3,000 pounds of food to help those in need. Here’s how you can contribute:
- Your admission to the rally is at least one canned food item.
- Don’t forget to write your team name on the can! This is part of a contest.
The Food Drive Contest
Whichever team donates the most food by the end of the fundraiser (usually the end of December) wins a special prize: dinner on us! This is a fun way to inspire generosity and teamwork while giving back to the community.
Why You Should Be Excited for This Community Event
The Rudolph Rally is more than just a tournament; it’s a chance to celebrate the season with your volleyball family and the greater community. From the games and costumes to the vendor fair and food drive, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
At SoCal, we believe in creating events that bring people together, and the Rudolph Rally is one of our favorite ways to share in the holiday spirit.
