Birmingham Volleyball

Hi, I was wondering if I could put a "players wanted" ad in your next newsletter for Birmingham VC? We have been in the National League div2 for quite some years, however last season we played with just six players for almost an entire season. Unsurprisingly we got relegated to the third division. We are now in a position of rebuilding the club and would really like new (young?) players at the club. Could you please email me instructions to advertise.

Many Thanks, Grant Huddleston volleyball_grant@hotmail.com

Exeter Ladies Challenge Results

Once again, an excellent event with nine of the top teams from the area taking part. The event took the format of a league with every team playing timed matches against six other randomly selected teams. The results from the league session (after a couple of play-Off matches) formed the structure for three groups of triangular matches to decide the final places. Anyone of the top four teams could have take the title but in the end it was Torexe who took the honors, remaining unbeaten in all their eight matches.

New USA Beach VB "performance-based reality television series"- From RSV

Anyone who subscribes to the CSTV channel should check this out and report back to the group. I wonder how much they will show of the instruction sessions.

"CSTV Networks and the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour previously announced a groundbreaking, new performance-based reality television series to air on CSTV this summer. The series documents the top 16 women's collegiate senior volleyball players on and off the sand as they transition from the hard-court to the beach game during a three-day AVP Invitational Camp held this past March in the beach volleyball hotbed of Manhattan Beach, California.

These 16 players were invited to the AVP Invitational Camp in March and went through drills and received instruction from three-time Olympic gold medalist Karch Kiraly, Olympic bronze medalist Holly McPeak and Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh. After that weekend, AVP Pro Beach Volleyball representatives chose eight players to advance to the CSTV Collegiate Nationals in Reno with an opportunity for the winning team to play in the AVP Crocs Tour Hermosa Beach Open event this June."
