Beach Training

Here we are again, gearing up for another year of Beach Volleyball. The FIVB has released their calendar for the year and it’s a big one.

You can check it out here: http://www.fivb.org/EN/BeachVolleyball/Competitions/WorldTour/2010/?sm=15

It seems to be quite well organised this year. As usual starting in Brasil, then moving to Asia, then Europe and ending back in Asia. The only problem I can see is that the Women need to travel back to Korea after their event in Italy and then on to Russia, but I am guessing that quite a few teams will skip those two events to save a few $thousand in airfairs.

SO we have a total of 14 events for the Men and 15 bfor the women.

Top 5 ranking coming into season 2010 are as follows.

Mens

1 Brink-Reckermann
2 Harley-Alison
3 Herrera-Gavira
4 Nummerdor-Schuil
5 Ricardo-Emanuel

Women

1 Larissa-Juliana
2 Talita-Antonelli
3 Ross-Kessy
4 Goller-Ludwig
5 Akers-Turner

Good spiking technique is something that comes more easily to some players than to others. One good way to improve is by watching great players.

Here are a few videos that show good spiking technique.

The new Queensland beach volleyball tour website is live.

Ok, it’s time once again to hit the sand for the Queensland Beach Volleyball Tour and, after last years dominance by Dan and Isaac, who is willing to step up this year and match the feats this pairing achieved?

Queensland beach volleyball always has a great tour. Looks like about 12 open events. Check it out: http://qbvt.com.au
