For the past 11 years, volunteers have organized the Glen Lapp Memorial Volleyball Tournament indoors in January at Lancaster Mennonite School. This year, due to COVID-19, the event is moving outside. The tournament will be held on Saturday, June 12, at 9 a.m. on Lancaster Mennonite School's soccer fields on Millstream Road, off Lincoln Highway East (Route 30). The rain date is Sunday, June 13.

Past years' tournaments were limited to 40 teams, and organizers had to turn away teams. This year, there is no maximum number of teams.

The tournament is named after Glen Lapp, a 1987 graduate of Lancaster Mennonite School. He played volleyball at Eastern Mennonite University and coached at Lancaster Mennonite in the '90s. In 2010, Lapp and nine others were killed while providing free medical assistance in a remote area of Afghanistan. The volleyball tournament honors Lapp's life and passion for volleyball. All proceeds benefit the Glen D. Lapp Endowment for Student Aid. Over the last 10 years, over $60,000 has been raised to provide scholarships for immigrant and refugee students.

The tournament will have two divisions, one of which will be more competitive. Games will be played four against four, and each team is guaranteed to play at least eight games. Games are played in a laidback style to reflect Lapp's personality, and players will call their own fouls.
