Hall of Fame


The EMERALD COAST VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAME Recognizing people and teams that have made our events successful.

		*Deede Wayne* Deede has been with the tournament for the last several years. She processes the registrations and resolves any problems with a cheerful and friendly manner. She is also the primary designer of our t-shirts and can be credited with their growing popularity over the past few years. Always as smile, always ready to help, that's Deede!

		*Herman Knowles* Herman has been with Fudpuckers for a number of years and was primarily responsible for maintaining the equipment and making sure we had it ready at tournament time. Four years ago he took over as beach manager insuring that all the nets were ready to play and all things were in the proper place. He does a great job!

		*Park & Sun Sports* Park & Sun Sports has been with the tournaments for 20 years providing nets and technical assistance along the way. All of our games have been played on Park & Sun Nets: close to 100,000 matches. Ron and Denise Padilla are pioneers in the volleyball field and we are proud to honor them in our Hall of Fame.

		*Little Rock, AR* The group from Little Rock, Arkansas has been coming for years. They are always the first group to arrive and play, play, play as well as party, party, party. Accepting the award for Little Rock are their organizers, Harold and Debo Seifert.

		*Beach Bums* From New Orleans and Baton Rouge Louisiana, the Beach Bums have played in our events for years, having amassed more victories in Women's Open than any other team. Great sports and tough competition, not to mention entering each event early.

		*The Swamp* Closing fast on the heels of the Beach Bums are the young guns, The Swamp. Led by team captain, Meaghan Hoepfl, this team always displays great sportsmanship and hustle. In addition, Meaghan has served as a true ambassador for our events and local volleyball.
