NATCHITOCHES – Colder weather tends to set the stage for indoor competition.
 
As such, the annual Northwestern State Volleyball Indoor DigFest returns for its third year Feb. 9 inside the warm confines of Prather Coliseum.
 
The 4-on-4 tournament follows the same setup as the annual spring and fall DigFests. Teams may be composed of up to six people and one female player must be on the court at all times.
 
Registration for the event, which includes a chance to meet the NSU volleyball players, prizes, food and music, is open through Feb. 8, the day before the event.
 
The entry fee is $100 per team or $125 if you would like to add a Northwestern State player to your team. Proceeds from the event aid the NSU volleyball summer scholarship fund, team travel, locker room renovation and other program projects.
 
Registration is available at www.nsudemons.com/indoordigfest.
