Volleyball will not be held during the 2026 Nevada Police & Fire Games. Unfortunately, we were not able to confirm the number of full teams needed to move forward with the tournament this year.


We appreciate everyone who showed interest and helped us try to bring volleyball back for our 50th Anniversary! 


We will revisit the event for the 2027 Games and will begin reaching out to interested players and teams in early 2027. If you were interested in playing but did not reach out to us, please send us an email so we can add you to our mailing list for next year.
