Knob Hill volleyball tournament Saturday
The fifth Annual Knob Hill Classic volleyball tournament returns to Redondo Beach Saturday, Oct. 25.
Local residents Freddie Harb and Jeno Sario created the event to showcase and elevate volleyball in South Redondo Beach.
What began as a grassroots tournament has grown in size, reputation, and community support each year.
“The Knob Hill Classic has always been about more than just volleyball,” said co-founder Harb. “It’s about building community, bringing people together, and giving South Redondo the recognition it deserves in the sport.”
The 4-on-4 format, with one female on the court at all times, runs from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. The full slate of 16 teams has been filled.

The Friday BCHD meeting will be the LEAST REPRESENTATIVE public meeting in Redondo Beach history. Over 50% of residents voted NO on Measure BC in order to kill any public funding of the allcove building, demo of the hospital, or a 2 acre open space that’s on OUR PUBLIC LAND ANYWAY. There will be 100% YES votes in the room. Plus, over 90% of the attendees will be BCHD Board, Executive Payroll, Employees, Committee members, contractors, consultants, vendors, wannabe vendors, and affiliated volunteers. Typically, less than 5% will be the REAL PUBLIC. WHAT A SCAM!
As best we could tell, there were a total of 3 members of the public at the BCHD 8-noon meeting in Manhattan Beach on Halloween morning. That was three out of about 70, so 4%. All the rest were Board Members (5), “Chief”-executives (4), Directors (8), employees, committee members, volunteers, consultants, contractors and vendors. Remember that 50%+ of voters voted NO on Measure BC, but that room was a 100% YES vote. The attendees have little in common with District residents.
