Australian Beach Volleyball Commission – NEW!

Tristo — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:45:48 +0000

We have just been forwarded a document from a group of prominent beach volleyball people who are creating a new organisation called the Australian Beach Volleyball Commission (ABVC). The idea here seems to be to get control of the sport of beach volleyball into the hands of the people who are actually involved in the sport. (As opposed to the organising body who seems a lot more interested in indoor volleyball).

We have had similar organisations sprout up occasionally over the years, usually in the form of a Players Association, but in the past they have not achieved much.
As far as I can see, the big difference here is that the ABVC has a broader purpose than it’s predecessors in that it is concerned with the entire sport rather than just the players.

It is outlined in the attached document:ABVC.pdf

The ABVC’s primary purpose will be to represent Australian beach volleyball’s constituent interests. This will include but not be limited to players, coaches, event organisers, indoor sports centres, umpires, administrators and private enterprise within beach volleyball.

I will be very interested to see who is behind this group, but on the face of it, it looks like a step in the right direction for Australian beach Volleyball.

VIC beach volleyball open 2011

Tristo — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 00:03:03 +0000

Here are the results from the Victorian beach volleyball open for 2011. The mens division had an international flavour with our local foreigners Bo Soderberg & Kirk Pitman teaming up to defend their beach against the French brothers, Kevin Ces & Andy Ces and the german world Champions Jonas Reckermann & Julius Brink. Unfortunately the French and German teams cruised through to the final, Sam Boehm & Isaac Kapa making up the fourth spot in the semis.

QLD Open Beach Volleyball 2011

Tristo — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 23:52:33 +0000

Some interesting controversies were reported from the QLD open, with light effecting play on the Saturday evening. Some games were stopped and had to be replayed the following morning. The most notable was the clash between Hinchley/Rohkamper and Palmer/Bawden. We are told that Hinchley/Rohkamper had 5 match points when the tournament director insisted that the game be stopped. Luckily Hinchley/Rohkamper came through with the win again, and then beat the same team to win the final.
