The Perfect Dinner During AAU Volleyball Season

The AAU Girls Junior Volleyball Championship runs June 17 through July 7, 2026 at the Orange County Convention Center, and thousands of families travel to Orlando for the event. Homewood Suites is a popular choice for volleyball families because of the suite-style rooms and kitchen amenities. But after a full day of matches, cooking in the hotel room is the last thing anyone wants to do.

Vincenzo is the answer. The kids menu keeps younger siblings happy. The handmade pasta fuels athletes who have been competing all day. Parents and coaches get to sit down to a real Italian meal with craft cocktails or a glass of wine. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the complimentary valet parking means no circling the parking lot after an exhausting tournament day.

Team Dinners and Group Celebrations

Volleyball tournaments create moments worth celebrating. A team that just won a bracket, a player who hit a personal best, a coach who pulled the group together. Vincenzo handles team dinners and group celebrations with ease. For parties of 15 to 50, the Amalfi Room offers private dining with all-inclusive packages. For smaller groups, the main dining room seats teams comfortably with a menu that has something for everyone.
