Celebrity SideOut combines volleyball, music and altruism

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Get ready for an unprecedented fusion of sports, entertainment and philanthropy as Celebrity SideOut makes its sophomore appearance in Virginia Beach July 19-21. This revolutionary event, conceptualized by renowned DJ Spin Easy, brings together top athletes and music icons for a weekend of electrifying beach volleyball action and charitable initiatives.

At the heart of Celebrity SideOut are three extraordinary individuals: Taylor Crabb, Taylor Sander and DJ Spin Easy. Each a powerhouse in their respective fields, these icons bring a wealth of talent and accolades to the table, promising an unforgettable experience for attendees.

Taylor Crabb, a 2021 Tokyo Olympian and 13-time Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) champion, is known for his dynamic play and exceptional defensive skills. With two AVP Most Valuable Player (MVP) titles and numerous other awards to his name, Crabb is a force to be reckoned with on the sand.

Taylor Sander, a two-time indoor Olympian and Olympic Bronze medalist, brings his formidable talent to the beach volleyball court. As a four-time AVP champion and recipient of multiple Best Server awards, Sander’s powerful serves and versatile play style have earned him recognition as one of the best in the game.

DJ Spin Easy, with a career spanning the globe, has rocked stages by himself and alongside music legends like Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. As the mastermind behind Celebrity SideOut, DJ Spin Easy combines his passion for volleyball with his expertise in entertainment to create a one-of-a-kind experience for fans.

But Celebrity SideOut is more than just a showcase of talent — it’s a weekend-long celebration of giving back. From philanthropic events and youth clinics to adult clinics and immersive experiences, the event offers something for everyone while supporting meaningful causes.

The highlight of the weekend is the beach volleyball exhibition, where the most entertaining duo in the U.S. face off against local semi-pro players dubbed The Weekend Warriors. This groundbreaking competition marks the first time in beach volleyball history that professional teams will compete in a sideout format against semi-pro/amateur players, promising fast-paced, energetic action for fans.

In addition to the exhibition, Celebrity SideOut features five immersive experiences, including a philanthropic event, dinner, after-party and clinics for both youth and adults. Attendees can expect a jam-packed schedule of entertainment, learning and interaction throughout the weekend.

The concept for Celebrity SideOut originated from DJ Spin Easy’s passion for volleyball and his desire to create an unforgettable experience for fans. Partnering with Taylor Crabb, Taylor Sander and Crabb childhood friend/manager James Dowsett, DJ Spin Easy has expanded the event into a multi-day extravaganza and launched with the boys the nonprofit LLC, Fuel The Dream, dedicated to providing sports resources to underserved communities.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of history as Celebrity SideOut takes Virginia Beach by storm. Even though spectators are free all weekend, Celebrity Side Out will give a portion of proceeds to benefit Virginia Beach charitable initiatives.
