Hall of Fame


The EMERALD COAST VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAME Recognizing people and teams that have made our events successful.
		Joe Guidry As General Manager of the Ramada Plaza Beach Resort, Joe welcomed the tournament with open arms when we moved from Destin to The Boardwalk and has been a great friend to all since. Joe was also General Manager of Destin West Resorts and was always very understanding of the WannaBes and their violation of hot tub rules.

		Trinity Norris Trinity worked at Fudpuckers for over 20+ years and always was responsible to insure our nets and equipment were maintained in tip top condition. She also packed and delivered the truck to the tournament sites. She has moved on to a different job and we will surely miss her.

		Win Pound Win has been coming to our tournaments every year since the early 90s and has been a strong advocate for us. He has introduced many Atlanta players to our events and is always plays with the Fuds spirit.

		Tim Tonguis Tim also has been coming to our events since the beginning and as the former owner of Laguna Beach volleyball has introduced hundreds of people to the sport. He has won almost every Mens division that we have except B. Since we won't let him play B anymore he switched to coed.

		Juanas Volleyball Michelle Lee has also introduced hundreds of people to the sport of beach volleyball over the year's as Juana's volleyball coordinator in Navarre. She wasn't able to attend the Hall of Fame ceremony so she sent some unknown guy to accept her award.

		Bulldog Beach Judd Smith and Kim Larson and their place, Bulldog Beach,have become the place to play in our loca area. They hold events for all people who love to play, adults and juniors alike. They have recently acquired a new property on Navarre Beach and we wish them the best!

		Chaffin Family Tommy and Claire Chaffin have become "THE" team to beat in our Coed A division. Being seven months pregnant didn't slow Claire down when they won their last tournament here. They wonn once before when she was pregnant with their first son. Since they won again this spring we are wondering if she might be...........you know!

		Battie Family Beamon Battie started playing on the beaches here over 20 years ago when he was 18. Since he's gone to college, served his country in the Air Force, married his beautiful wife Chantel, had two great kids and moved to Mexico but they all come back to play at Fuds every chance they get.
