Schedules, Awards, and All You Need To Know For The Prep Dig Resolution
We are just days away from kicking off 2020 with the Prep Dig Resolution at the Community First Fox Cities Champions Center. With 60 teams participating from ages 13 to 18, this event will bring in over 500 athletes across the state into one of the newest premier facilities in the region. What do coaches, athletes, and fans need to know heading into the weekend? We have it all right here.
Teams and Schedules All On Advanced Event Systems (AES)
For those new into the club volleyball scene, definitely take a moment to download the AES app as most tournaments will have this online scheduling and results. Prep Dig Events will be using AES for all scheduling with up to date results that will also show teams when and what court they will be working on. Instead of walls of paper, this can be accessed online and will be updated throughout the day. Our schedule is LIVE!
College Coaches – University Athlete will be available Wednesday, January 1. Athletes, set up your University Athlete profile to get your club season started.
All-Tournament Team Awards and “PREP DIG” Award
Coaches! At check-in you will receive a form at the start of the tournament to be filled out and returned before you finish play that will be nominations for All-Tournament Team as well as a PREP DIG Award. At Prep Dig, we are always looking to feature players of all levels and with the PREP DIG Award, it will take on a new perspective on what we want to recognize in athletes. Coaches can nominate one athlete per team for the PREP DIG AWARD that represents the following:
P – Passion
R – Respect
E – Energy
P – Persistent
D – Determination
I – Integrity
G – Grit
Badger State Parent LoungeThis will allow athletes to be recognized not only for what they do on the court with their play, but the total package of what they bring to their team.
Where To Sit? Where To Go?
The Community First Champions Center is one of a kind. Walking into the facility, the main floor leads right into the mezzanine level that is open to all. Perfect to watch from above, film, and quickly move to multiple courts. The bottom level, which will give access to the courts will be for athletes, coaches, college coaches, and event personnel. There is plenty of space around the courts and designated areas for athletes to be before they take the court to compete or work.
What About Concessions and Down Time?
The Champions Center will have a concession stand going all day that will change throughout the day with breakfast and snacks in the morning with a large sitting and dining area that overlooks two hockey rinks. There are also plenty of restaurants and food options just minutes away near the Fox River Mall – perfect for a team dinner.
Parents! The Champions Center has the Badger State Parent Lounge with big-screen TVs and will serve local craft beer and wine. Thankfully there is no conflict with any Packer playoff games 😉
Donate School Supplies!
Prep Dig will be teaming up with the Appleton North DECA as they will be running a school supply drive where teams and fans can donate school supplies that will go towards the Community School in which the program helps support through the year.

Social Media Overload and Media Headquarters
Maybe your 2020 Resolution will be to spend less time on social media. Maybe start after this upcoming weekend 🙂 Our Prep Dig staff will be providing pictures, video, updates on Twitter and Facebook, along with pictures and stories on Instagram. The 13s and 14s will definitely be part of the pictures and media as well that we will have during the weekend as well as after. Our tournaments are an experience that goes beyond the final point.
At Tournament Central on the main floor there will be “Media Headquarters” where Prep Dig will provide a full backdrop for team pictures, a Prep Dig backdrop for individual shots, as well as merchandise T-Shirt.
