Dale Rohde Memorial

Welcome to The Dale

The Dale Rohde Memorial Boys Volleyball Tournament is a tribute to longtime Badger Region member Dale Rohde who was a huge supporter of boys volleyball in the Badger Region. Dale was an active member of our community as a player, parent and official. He lost his fight with cancer on Jan. 15, 2014.

The 2027 event will take place Feb. 20-21 at the Baird Center in downtown Milwaukee. All teams are guaranteed two days of competition at this growing event. Club teams from Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota and Iowa are all encouraged to attend this event before the start of the high school seasons in both Illinois and Minnesota.
