Energy will be high. Competition will be fierce. Teams from across North Dakota and Minnesota are set to compete at one of the most meaningful events of the club season — Landon's Light, hosted by Volt Volleyball.   But this tournament carries something deeper than the game itself.   It's about the kind of impact one person can have — and how that impact continues to bring people together.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Story Behind the Name</h3>   Landon Solberg was the kind of person people naturally gravitated toward. He had a way of making others feel seen, valued, and important — not because he tried to, but because that's who he was at his core. His kindness showed up in everyday moments, whether it was encouraging a teammate, helping a friend, or simply being present for those around him.   When he was faced with a life-altering cancer diagnosis, that part of him never changed. If anything, it became even more evident. Through the ups and downs of treatment, Landon carried himself with a strength and perspective that left a lasting impression on everyone around him. His faith guided him, and his ability to stay positive in the face of adversity became something others leaned on.   Even during the hardest moments, he continued to show up for people — supporting teammates, staying connected to his community, and reminding others what truly matters.   Landon's story isn't centered on illness. It's centered on how he lived — with faith, compassion, and a genuine care for others. That's what continues to carry forward today.

Yes, there's high-level volleyball being played. Yes, teams are competing, adjusting, and pushing to win. But there's also a different kind of energy — one rooted in respect, connection, and appreciation for the opportunity to play.   This event creates space for athletes to compete hard while also remembering the bigger picture. It's a reminder that how you compete matters just as much as the result.   You see it in the way teammates celebrate each other. You see it in the way players respond to adversity. You see it in the effort given on every single point.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" />   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">High-Level Competition Meets Meaningful Moments</h3>   From a volleyball standpoint, this weekend is loaded with talent.
