The Dirty Toe Doubles volleyball tournament was founded in 2023 by a group of passionate players in Colorado Springs who shared a vision of creating a high-energy, competitive event that still captured the fun and camaraderie of the local volleyball community. What started as a grassroots effort among friends and fellow athletes quickly gained momentum, drawing attention for its welcoming atmosphere, smooth organization, and spirited competition.

Since its launch, the tournament has experienced impressive growth in both popularity and participation. In just a short time, Dirty Toe Doubles has expanded to host more than 200 teams from across the region, transforming it from a small local gathering into one of the area’s most anticipated volleyball events. Players of varying skill levels now compete each year, contributing to a dynamic mix of high-level rallies, friendly matchups, and memorable championship moments.

As part of that rapid growth, the tournament established a new home at Cottonwood Park. The move to this larger and more accommodating venue has allowed organizers to support the increasing number of teams, spectators, vendors, and event activities. With expanded court space and room for the tournament atmosphere to thrive, Cottonwood Park provides the perfect setting for the continued evolution of Dirty Toe Doubles.

Today, Dirty Toe Doubles stands as a testament to what community passion can build — a tournament that blends competition, connection, and local pride into one of the standout events in the Colorado Springs volleyball scene.
