The Strive Bash is an end-of-year outdoor grass tournament. The juniors that play for Strive play in their own division while there's also men's and women's adult divisions. The Bash provides Strive Volleyball Club members an opportunity to celebrate the season's successes while also introducing the outdoor game in time for summer. Additionally, it allows more members of the adult volleyball community to participate in the Strive experience.
