Strawberry Days adds roundnet tournament with recreation, elite divisions
Strawberry Days is giving roundnet a real entry point at Cook Family Park, with Recreation, Advanced and Elite divisions and staggered entry fees.
Strawberry Days is not treating roundnet as a side attraction. It is building a structured tournament at Cook Family Park on Saturday, June 13, with check-in and warm-ups starting at 8:30 a.m. and play set to begin at 9:30 a.m.
The setup matters because the event is open to all skill levels and splits the field into three divisions: Recreation, Advanced and Elite. That kind of bracket layout turns a festival stop into a genuine entry point for the sport. Newer players can enter the 2.0-3.0 recreational division, while the 4.0 Challenger bracket and the 4.5 Elite division give stronger teams a place to push at a higher pace.
The pricing ladder reinforces that structure. Recreational teams will pay $30 before May 29, $45 after May 29 and $55 after June 11. The 4.0 Challenger division is listed at $40 before May 29, $55 after May 29 and $65 after June 11, and the 4.5 Elite division follows the same schedule. Those tiered fees create a clear path for local players: enter early for the lowest price, or move up into a more demanding division if the roster is ready for it.
That kind of format also gives Strawberry Days more staying power in the roundnet scene than a one-off demo would. A public park setting, a fixed start time and separate divisions for developing and elite players make it easier for local teams to show up, compete and measure themselves against a broader field. For a sport built on quick rallies and fast adaptation, accessibility and structure are the two ingredients that matter most, and this tournament has both.
Taylor Sanford, identified as president of the Utah Roundnet Association, is listed as the contact for the event, adding another layer of credibility to the bracket. With the online registration page already in place and a three-division field planned, Strawberry Days is offering something more organized than casual play: a summer tournament that could become a meaningful stop for area roundnet players if it returns on a regular basis.
