Kerri Walsh and Misty May: May and Walsh continued their impressive streak by
posting the following numbers. 12 -- The number of consecutive tournaments won
on the AVP Tour. 15 -- The number of consecutive tournament victories (AVP and
FIVB). 58 -- The number of overall games that May & Walsh have won (the last 28
matches have been sweeps). 60 -- The number of matches won on the AVP Tour (with
no losses). 86 -- The streak of consecutive matches won on both tours.
George Roumain and Jason Ring: The Men continued their unpredictability as the
first four tournaments of 2004 produced four different winners. Since the start
of the 2003 season 10 different teams have been victorious in the past 13
tournaments. Roumain had experienced tremendous success in the indoor volleyball
arena; to wit, he was named to Volleyball magazine's All-Century Team. A
newcomer to the beach game, Roumain played in just his eighth tournament in
"Surf City USA." Partnered with Ring for the fourth time, the duo advanced to
the Final Four after winning their first five matches as none came easy. Four of
the contests required three games and in all but one the third game took more
than the standard 15 points to end
The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour could not be produced as efficiently without
the tremendous contributions of time and energy provided by the more than 3000
volunteers involved each season. Our thanks and gratitude goes out to each
individual who dedicates their expertise to spend a weekend at the beach with
us.
In addition to having the satisfaction of being a part of making this
community-wide event happen, volunteers receive an AVP Tour "Event Staff"
t-shirt, lunch and beverages, subscription to the AVP newsletter and plenty of
interaction with AVP athletes.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer member of the AVP 2005 team, we
would love to hear from you. Each volunteer is expected to work a minimum of two
6 hour shifts (morning or afternoon). A brief description of each volunteer
position is below.
Ball Boy/Girl
These individuals will work directly with the professional athletes and AVP
Officials to chase down the balls and hand them to the AVP players before each
serve. This is an important part of the tournament because it helps to speed up
each game and provide less "down time" between points.
Beach Club Hospitality Personnel
The individuals in this position will work directly with the AVP Event
Operations staff to coordinate the preparation and replenishing of snack foods
for the AVP VIPs.
Score Keeper
The individuals in this position will work directly with the AVP Officials to
update the electronic score boards. This is an important part of the tournament
operations because the fans like the score to be highly visible and accurate
every time.
