This year has been interesting to say the least! We were very excited to bring back the beloved 6-Man Beach Volleyball tournament, but COVID-19 has created an environment that is one we all have to adapt to. So, this year we will be hosting a booth at the beach and doing a fundraiser. Luckily the beach, the park, surfing, beach volleyball and basketball and all other activities at the beach can be enjoyed daily as a healthy outdoor activity and we love supporting these activities. Join us on Oct 10th and donate towards our efforts to create great experiences at the beach. By donating and making your commitment to our vision, join us on Oct 10th at South Mission Beach and receive lunch from The Lunch Guru, Perfect Hydration Alkaline water and Snow Monkey Ice Cream plus some other goodies. If you are unable to attend on Oct 10, you will still get some fun surprises in the mail! We are currently raising money to maintain the beach volleyball courts, resurface the basketball court and paint utility boxes along Mission Beach Blvd. Raffle prizes and other opportunities will be available! We appreciate your support and patience and look forward to seeing you there!

Tribute Event to Bill Walton’s 25th Year with South Mission Beach Sports Park and Refurbishing of the Basketball Court South Mission Beach Sports Courts, 1 N. Jetty Rd, San Diego, CA 92109 Special Guests: Bill Walton, Steve Lavin and City Officials Sponsored By: Veniceball , Project Backboard, and Hoopbus™ San Diego, CA Twenty-five years after developing South Mission Beach Sports Park in South Mission Beach, Bill Walton returns to celebrate the refurbishing of the outdoor beach basketball. On June 4th, 2022 there will be a grand reopening of the main court, basketball clinic, 5-on-5 basketball games and a special ribbon cutting ceremony with Bill Walton (MC and Speaker) at the South Mission Beach Sports Park, 1 N. Jetty Rd., San Diego, CA 92109. The court was professionally repaired and resurfaced by Match Point, which included filling in a major crack, updating poles and backboards and finishing the base with several coats to sustain the beach weather and active use at this facility. Special original artwork was created by Veniceball and Project Backboard with a fun beach wave theme and colors. The team of Bill Walton, David Gill, Steve Lavin, San Diego’s Parks and Rec Department, Veniceball, Hoopbus and San Diego Beach Improvement Group worked together over multiple years to secure funding, provide oversight and administration for the court renovation project. Thirteen years earlier at this same park, MatchPoint worked with San Diego Beach Improvement Group (SD BIG) to refurbish this basketball court. SD BIG is a 501c3 non-profit which focuses on keeping our San Diego beaches clean, well-maintained and beautiful. SD BIG has been working with Bill Walton and Parks and Rec since 2002 to support the maintenance and upkeep of these sports courts that include the basketball court as well as 14 beach volleyball courts. Over the years and with this support, over 1000 people play on these sports courts weekly. Activities include beach cleanups, socials, painting utility boxes, sports events and implementing master plans. Learn more at www.SanDiegoBIG.org.
