* OLD 2002 information below,stay tuned as to what AVP
women's events will be
scheduled for broadcast on this network in 2005.
NEW YORK (Variety) -
Geraldine Laybourne's Oxygen Media will cablecast five of the seven
women's Assn. of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) tournaments this
summer. The deal is consistent with Oxygen's recently announced
strategy of focusing only on high-visibility women's sports. Six weeks
ago, Oxygen laid off 20 people in its sports division, reducing the
number of events
from 31 per year to about 12. Lydia Stephans, president and executive
producer of Oxygen Sports, called the AVP
tournaments "the premier women's beach volleyball competition in the
world." In addition to the five Oxygen cablecasts, the AVP will get
three live broadcasts on NBC.
Oxygen's five cablecasts will run on consecutive Sunday afternoons at
2, beginning June 9.

AVP Hour on the radio
Courtesy of Hugo Rec.Sport.Volleyball
In yesterday's LA Times (May 17, 2002), a column
written by Larry Stewart, he mentiones that:
"Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith will co-host a new
weekly show, "The AVP Hour," on KMPC (1540 AM) Thursdays,
7-8 p.m., beginning next week (May 23, 2002)."
However, I listened to KMPC earlier today (Sat. May 18)
and I heard a commercial for it and "Geeter" (Chris McGee)
said that he and Sinjin will be hosting this new
weekly show. He also said that if you don't listen
you'll get sand kicked in your face! ;-) Anyway,
whoever is hosting, it's good to know that the
vball community is getting high profile ambassadors
of the game to get the word out about beach
volleyball on the radio!
Yay volleyball! I hope that we can continue this
well into the future. :-)

May-Treanor dominates awards while
Rogers is MVP
October 6, 2006
Todd Rogers wins MVP on men's side; May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh, and
Stein Metzger and Mike Lambert awarded Team of the Year honors at 2006
AVP Players' Banquet
LOS ANGELES, October 5, 2006
Misty May-Treanor and Todd Rogers took home top honors Thursday night
as MVPs of the AVP 2006 season at the Players' Banquet. For the fourth
consecutive year, May-Treanor and partner Kerri Walsh were voted 2006
Team of the Year. The honor of the men's Team of the Year was awarded
to the CROCS Cup winning team of Stein Metzger and Mike Lambert, who
teamed up for the first time this year. All of the awards presented
were voted on by the athletes of the AVP.
The star of the evening was May-Treanor, who captured four titles,
including the 2006 women's MVP award, Team of the Year, Best Offensive
Player for the third year in a row, as well as her first award as the
Best Defensive Player. May-Treanor became the first player on either
the men's or women's side to win both Offensive and Defensive Player of
the Year in one season.
May-Treanor's stats with her partner Walsh provide a resounding
exclamation point to her unprecedented awards: This season, they became
the winningest team in domestic women's history, finishing with 39
career titles together in U.S. tournaments and a single-season most 13
of 16 domestic titles; they ended the season with 35 straight
victories; compiled an astounding 82-3 match record; have played in the
finals 44 of 45 AVP events together; and will take a seven-tournament
winning streak into the 2007 season. As an individual, May-Treanor
finished in the top five in four different statistical categories in
terms of per game averages: digs (fifth), kills (fifth), kill
percentage (fourth) and hitting percentage (third).
"My husband told me to just say thank you and get off the stage,"
May-Treanor said. "I just want to say thank you to everyone including
my partner and CROCS for all their support. I also want to thank my
teammate Kerri Walsh. Sometimes I feel like I want to say I want to
spend the rest of my life with you, but that isn't right. I want to say
that, but I really mean the rest of my volleyball life."
"Misty May-Treanor is a doll and a pleasure, and I look forward to
playing with her for years to come," Walsh said.
On the men's side, the teams of Rogers and Phil Dalhausser and Metzger
and Lambert battled throughout the season for domination on the AVP
Tour. A closely-contested Team of the Year award went to Metzger and
Lambert. The duo played in 14 of 15 Final Fours this season, more than
any other team; their 11-match winning streak at one point tied for the
longest this season; won the inaugural CROCS Cup by a slim six points;
and compiled a 67-15 match record.
"In the middle of the season, we just picked up and took care of
business," Metzger said. "We didn't care who led the way. We just
needed to find our way home."
Rogers captured two titles, including the 2006 men's MVP and the
Defensive Player of the Year. Rogers and Dalhausser won eight of 16
titles, including Rogers winning both post-season events: King of the
Beach (best individual player) and the Best of the Beach (best team on
the beach). Rogers won nine AVP CROCS Tour titles, the most since Kent
Steffes in 1998; had a 9-1 mark in AVP championship matches; his 10
finals appearances were the most of any player this year; and will take
an 11-match winning streak including the last three titles into 2007.
"This whole year has been so surreal," Rogers said. "If somebody had
told me this, I wouldn't have believed them. I couldn't be happier in
the way this year has turned out for my career."
Dalhausser captured the award for 2006 men's Offensive Player of the
Year as well as the Most Improved Player. The "Thin Beast" collected
$143,375 in earnings, more than two and one half times what he made
last season; led the tour in blocks for the second year in a row (432),
in addition to kill percentage (.627) and hitting percentage (.481).
Last year, Dalhausser won only one event his first ever win with
partner Nick Lucena and finished first in blocks (405) and sixth in
hitting percentage (.588).
Nicole Branagh, last year's Rookie of the Year, took home Most Improved
Player on the women's side. In her first 19 pro beach events, Branagh
had a best of fifth, while in her last 12 events, she was in the
semifinals nine times, including two finals appearances.
"You know the beach is our office, and we are the luckiest people in
the world," Branagh said.
There was a tie on the women's side for Rookie of the Year between
Logan Tom and April Ross, with Brad Keenan earning the honor for the
men. In Hermosa Beach, Keenan went in through the qualifier, then
placed third, tying for the best finish from a qualifier in AVP
history. Tom finished as high as fifth. Ross finished ninth in
back-to-back tournaments her career best knocking off three top-10
teams in the process.
The 2006 AVP tour had 16 stops and has scheduled 18 for the 2007
season. This season the AVP was telecast on NBC, Fox Sports Net and FOX
for the first time.

Vacations coming to
Grand
Cayman
Friday, March 2, 2007
During a recent one-day stop in Grand Cayman, Volleyball Vacations
founder Albert Hannemann took time out from his adult volleyball
clinics to run a kids clinic for year three and four students at
Montessori by the Sea.
The youngsters received professional instruction from the 14-year
Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) veteran and past tour
event champion.
The students also got to watch one of their teachers, Wanda Brenton,
play a game with Mr Hannemann against two members of the Cayman Islands
Beach Volleyball Committee.
Afterwards, Mrs Brenton said it had been a great day for the kids to
discover a sport they may have not been exposed to before. “Albert is
great with kids. His ability to keep them all involved and interested
throughout the clinic was unbelievable. The kids and parents were
talking about how much they enjoyed the clinic for days,” she enthused.
Mr Hannemann is no stranger to working with kids, he is currently Vice
President of the Dig for Kids Foundation which was founded in January
2000 by his cousin, Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Fonoimoana.
The purpose of the foundation is to provide academic mentoring and
athletic training to kids in disadvantaged communities. Through the
foundation, more than 9500 children have been taught the basic skills
of volleyball and twelve Excellence in Volleyball and Academics
Scholarships have been awarded to high school seniors.
Mr Hannemann is currently working with the Cayman Islands Volleyball
Federation (CIVF) on plans to return to the Cayman Islands in early
2008 with his Volleyball Vacations Company.
Volleyball Vacations will bring 100 guests to the island for a weeklong
visit, during which they play volleyball and learn more about the sport
from top AVP players.
Mr Hannemann said he is excited at the prospect of coming back to Grand
Cayman. “This was my second trip to Cayman and the Volleyball
Federation here has been extremely helpful in making this our signature
annual event,” he explained. Adding that he plans to arrive, with other
professional players, a few days early for the 2008 event and conduct
further clinics for local kids.
The CIVF say they are very proud to be able to bring a professional
level programme such as Volleyball Vacations to Grand Cayman and expect
the trip to generate further interest in the sport.

Tour 2007 Event Coverage
Coney Island Area:
Geographically, Coney Island is the westernmost of the barrier
islands of Long Island, about four miles long and one-half mile wide.
It was formerly an actual island, separated from the main part of
Brooklyn by Coney Island Creek, part of which was little more than
tidal flats. There were plans into the 20th century to dredge and
straighten the creek as a ship canal, but these plans were abandoned
and the center portion of the creek was filled in for construction of
the Belt Parkway before World War II. The western and eastern ends are
now peninsulas.
Coney Island still maintains a broad sandy beach from West 37th
Street at Sea Gate through the Coney Island and Brighton Beach to the
beginning of the community of Manhattan Beach, a distance of
approximately two-and-a-half miles (~4.0 km). The beach is continuous
and is served for its entire length by the broad Riegelmann boardwalk,
reputed to be the world's longest, and the subject of the famous song
"Under the Boardwalk," first popularized in 1964. A number of
amusements are directly accessible from the north side of the
boardwalk, as is the New York Aquarium and a variety of food shops and
arcades.
In August 2006 Coney Island
will host a major national volleyball tournament by the Association of
Volleyball Professionals. The tournament, usually held on the West
Coast, is to be televised live on NBC. The league will build a
4,000-seat stadium and 12 outer courts next to the Boardwalk for the
event. Its promotional partner is Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment

AVP returns to the Big Apple
Kiraly probable for Brooklyn with strained calf
By Monique Moyal / avp.com
Get ready for one of the biggest events on the East Coast, when the AVP
continues its swing to the Big Apple and lands in Coney Island.
That means sightseeing can go on for one full week, with some players
and staff staying on the Atlantic Coast rather than going back home to
California.
That's good news for husband and wife, Casey Jennings and Kerri Walsh.
"Kerri and I have been enjoying all the sights," said Jennings. "We
have a couple of things scheduled. We're gonna drive over to New York
on Monday. We love New York."
But the big promise New York holds is the probable return of Karch
Kiraly (calf) to action during his final year on the AVP Crocs Tour. He
has not played in a match since the Seaside Heights Open opened the
month of July.
If Kiraly comes back, Kevin Wong will once again pair up with his
original partner. That leaves John Mayer a man out.
Mayer said he expects to return with Matt Prosser for the Brooklyn Open
next week.
"I'm hoping we can play next weekend in New York," said Mayer. "I think
Karch will be back and this was just a good opportunity [to pair with
Wong] and I had to give it a try. But Matt's awesome."
The 2007 stop in Brooklyn will only be the second time the tour has hit
up the borough. In Brooklyn's inaugural event in 2006, Mike
Lambert-Stein Metzger took the crown for the men, while Walsh and Misty
May-Treanor grabbed the women's title.
Metzger and Lambert have won four tournaments in 2007, but their last
was in Chicago, which opened the ongoing seven-week stretch of travel.
They are looking to get back on track and defend their title on Coney
Island.
If Kiraly returns, he too will have some defending to do.
Although he didn't take the 2006 Brooklyn title, Kiraly owns both the
1993 and 1994 AVP New York Open titles. He might like to get back in
the winner's circle after coming close during the Tampa Open in June.
But other teams will also try to crack the top teams on the men's side
of the draw. When Jennings and Matt Fuerbringer finished second in
Boston, they accounted for the third straight new team in 2007 to enter
the final aside from the usual top three teams: Phil Dalhausser-Todd
Rogers, Lambert-Metzger and Jake Gibb-Sean Rosenthal.
John Hyden and Brad Keenan started things off in Chicago and Dax
Holdren and Sean Scott took note and followed that up with their first
finals appearance in Manhattan Beach.
But who is going to do it next?
They can take note from the women's side, as Elaine Youngs and Nicole
Branagh finally came together to stop the imposing momentum of
May-Treanor and Walsh in Boston, foiling their plans for an 11th title
in 2007.
Youngs and Branagh will keep at it for the remainder of the season,
hungry for their fourth title of 2007.
Come back to avp.com all weekend from Thursday, Aug. 23, to Sunday,
Aug. 26, to see how things pan out.
Karch TV special to air Monday night
Program will focus on retiring legend's life, beach career
AVP
LOS ANGELES — Beach volleyball legend Karch Kiraly will be honored in a
tribute titled "Karch Kiraly ... The King of the Beach" that will air
August 20 on FSN West at 10:30 p.m. PT following the Angels-Yankees
game and be streamed on avp.com.
Kiraly, the "Michael Jordan of beach volleyball," will retire from the
AVP Tour after this season. Kiraly will be appearing on "Angels Live,"
FSN West's pre- and postgame shows to promote the special. He'll also
make an appearance in the broadcast booth with announcers Steve Physioc
and Rex Hudler.
"Karch Kiraly ... The King of the Beach" will focus on both Kiraly's
life and his successes on the sand, including his years growing up in
Santa Barbara, Calif., learning the game from his father, Dr. Laszlo
Kiraly, a Hungarian immigrant. The program follows his rise to stardom
on the indoor courts and his adjustment to returning to the sand. His
personal life, including his relationship with his wife, Janna, and
their sons Kristian and Kory, will also be featured. AVP stars both
past and present (including current star player and former partner Mike
Lambert and current AVP Tour pro Dax Holdren) were interviewed for this
special, as well as Steve Timmons (1984 and 1988 Olympic teammate),
Mike Dodd (beach legend) and his parents Laszlo and Tony Kiraly.
Kiraly has won 148 beach titles — the most all-time — and has captured
at least one tournament in 24 of the 27 seasons he has played, a career
