SWAMPBALL

A huge thanks to everyone that came out and supported Swampball this year 2019! This year was very successful thanks to all the students, staff, players, and volunteers. Also, huge shoutout out to Chartwells  for providing the food and drinks. We can't wait to see everyone again during 2020's Swamball!

Swampball is a mud-volleyball tournament held each fall in UNO's Quad. Teams of students, alumni, and local residents battle for the Golden Volleyball Trophy and bragging rights, while raising money for student scholarships. As the UNO Ambassadors' give back to UNO students, 100% of the profits from the event are donated back to the student body through our Merit, Leadership, and Need-Based Scholarships.
