New Orleans to host 5th Annual Stonewall Sports National Tournament

February 21, 2018 By Toby Acosta

The annual Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit is on the move! Hosted in Washington, D.C. for the past four years, Stonewall Sports is excited to announce that the 5th Annual Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit will be hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana, July 13-15, 2018.

Each year, the Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit has experienced incredible growth and received participation from players and spectators from across the country. In 2017, more than 1,000 individuals traveled to attend the tournament and over 25 city leaders joined the summit to enhance their leadership skills through networking, collaborating and sharing best practices. New Orleans will provide a unique tournament experience, players and spectators will enjoy the rich and culturally diverse history of the city. The tournament will offer several popular sports, including kickball, dodgeball, and volleyball.

Andrew Palermo, Commissioner of Stonewall Sports New Orleans, is excited to host the tournament and showcase the city of New Orleans; he stated, “we are excited to welcome the Stonewall Sports family to New Orleans this July! The city, like gumbo— one of our most famous foods—is often cited as an example of the melting-pot nature of Louisiana. We are a blend of so many cultures and peoples, and everyone brings their own unique contribution to the mix. We are sure that you will feel at home here, as New Orleans offers something for everyone: great food, beautiful architecture, music, festivals, plenty of history and culture, and a laid-back, fun vibe. Laissez les bons temps rouler!”

Our organization is excited for continued growth of the tournament, and the opportunity to host the tournament in different cities. In 2019, the Sixth Annual Stonewall Sports National Tournament & Summit will be hosted in Raleigh, North Carolina. For more information, visit us at stonewallsports.org.
