The Vestcup History
Vestcup is a Norwegian
Volleyball tournament organised by the Vestcup committee. The Vestcup
committee is a group within the KFUM Stavanger Volleyball (KFUM = YMCA)
.
The tournament was originally named
"Åpningsturneringen" - the first tournament every season in Rogaland.
In 1987 KFUM Stavanger took the responsibility for the tournament and
renamed it to Vestcup. Vestcup has always been a tournament for all
teams at all levels, and Vestcup is thereby an important gathering for
volleyball in Norway.
We have had teams from Romania, Netherland, Denmark and Sweden in Vestcup.
Perhaps this year Your team or teams from Your country may want to participate ?
