AVP Womens News - TV Update * 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. :-) Hugo Hey Hugo,Thanks for the info.Any coverage of the AVP by its Players is welcome news.By the way Ian Clark has had his own radio show of sorts on Live365 for over 2 years now.Take a listen to DJ Slimknicky1 at the following link: Listen!!! to "I-RADIO AVP" IMAN'S Broadcasting in Stereo!!!24/7 Featuring "DJ- KNICKY" playing all the hits for AVP fans!!!

Local Olympians among Walk of Fame honorees by David Rosenfeld of the Easy Reader December 2, 2004 Johnette Latreille spikes a set from her partner Jean Brunicardi, who passed away in 2003. The pair won the first three John Shaw Opens, starting in 1966. Beach volleyball Olympians Holly McPeak and Kerri Walsh were among the women honored with plaques on the Manhattan Volleyball Walk of Fame during a ceremony at the pier on December 4. Other honorees included legends Kathy Gregory, Nina Matthies, Karolyn Kirby, Liz Masakayan, and Nancy Reno and current stars Elaine Youngs, Barbara Fontana, Jenny Johnson Jordan, Annett Davis, and Misty May. The plaques recognize winners of the women's Manhattan Beach Open, dating back to its founding as the John Shaw Open in 1966. Every past winner was been invited. "It's a little late in coming, but at least we're getting it done," said Charlie Saikley, who helped establish the walk of fame for winners of the men's Manhattan Open eight years ago. "The torch of beach volleyball will be carried by the women." Saikley was one of the founders of the women's tournament, named after the city's then superintendent of recreation, whom Saikley lobbied for nearly a year before receiving permission to organize the women's tournament. Saikley, who still works for the city, undertook a similar lobbying effort to get the women's names added to the Walk of Fame. The early Manhattan tournaments were the first to lower the nets for the women. There were no professional players' organizations and cities throughout California put on their own tournaments with only modest prize money. The John Shaw Open was held from 1966 to 1986, when it was replaced by the Women's Professional Volleyball Association tournament. The WPVA was disbanded following the 1994 open. As a result women were not represented at the dedication of the Walk of Fame in 1996, which recognized the male winners of every Manhattan Beach open, dating back to 1960. The women's open was resurrected in 2001 under the umbrella of the city and Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP). "My fondest volleyball memories are from Manhattan," said Gregory, winner of seven John Shaw Opens between 1969 and 1983. Gregory is now the head coach of the University of California at Santa Barbara's volleyball team, which will compete this week in the national championships in Atlanta. Matthies, who also won seven Manhattan tournaments in the 70s and 80s, is now the head coach of the women's team at Pepperdine University in Malibu. She said her fondest memories were working with the city recreation department to set up the tournament. Manhattan was a prestigious tournament, she said, because Saikley and others took special care to rake the sand. "For me it's pretty neat," Matthies said. "I'm really happy for a lot of the women and gals who will get their names down there." Fonoi in on deal at Dig for Kids night December 6, 2004 AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato poses with Olympic Bronze Medalist Holly McPeak at the Dig For Kids Winter Wonderland Gala. Shortly after bringing home a gold medal from the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Eric Fonoimoana established Dig for Kids. The program offers academic and athletic coaching for less fortunate Southern California elementary school students. December 4 at Sangria Restaurant on Hermosa Beach's Pier Plaza, Fonoimoana and fellow Dig for Kids' coach Albert Hanneman hosted the annual Dig for Kids Holiday Casino Night. Winners at the tables cashed in their chips for raffle tickets. Raffle items included trips to Mexico and Las Vegas, Dodgers and Red Sox memorabilia and volleyball instruction by Fonoimoana. Along with Fonoimoana and Hanneman, AVP Stars in attendance at the semi formal event included Holly McPeak, Mike Lambert, Casey Jennings, Matt Fuerbringer, Adam Jewell, and Dain Blanton. All proceeds helped to raise funds that go toward two 10-week programs to be held this year at Carson High for over 100 students from eight surrounding elementary schools. "We give the kids two hours of help with school work and home work and an hour of sports training," Fonoimoana said. He and Hanneman are assisted by Hermosa resident Janine Moulton, as well as by fellow AVP players

Nancy Mason on Partner Swapping May 25, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP To send Nancy Mason your questions just email askthepros@avp.com and remember to put Nancy Mason in the subject line. Hi Nancy, I am a big fan and hope that your new partner switch will pay off and get you over the hump in 2005. What key traits should one look for in choosing a partner? How do opposites attract? Why did you feel it was necessary to switch partners? Thanks, Rick St. Louis Hi Rick (in St. Louis. Did you know that I am from Belleville? I love the hometown support) As I wrote last week, one of the biggest factors in my partner switch was physical. I just felt I could potentially have more success with a bigger partner. Nowadays, it's harder for the medium sized players (like myself and Carrie) to match-up with teams with the likes of EY, Walsh, Kessy, etc. Other things to consider when choosing a partner are chemistry, experience and the level of commitment each of you has made to competing. You don't want to partner up with someone who's just a "weekend warrior" if your goals are to compete at a higher level. Good chemistry is not always easy to come by. At our level, anyone can step on the court and play pretty well together. When it really matters and starts to show (or disappear) is when you're in a 3 set battle and the score is tight&..How do you feel when you look over at that person? If there is total trust and you feel relaxed, you've found a winner. Good luck with your search! Nancy Hi Nancy, Since I'm a guy I hope you won't think I'm asking this question with any questionable intent. It's a question that my coed partner and I have discussed many times. On the men's tour the player's attire is generally long baggy shorts and full tank tops seem to be acceptable as well. But on the womens side it's always Bikinis and often it seems like the smaller the better. Now as a guy I'm not complaining but we were wondering if there are dress codes on the women's tour that specifies that you must wear a bikini? And are there specifications on how big or how small they can or must be? If it's cold we've seen women wearing the long spandex outfits but I've never seen a woman wearing just regular old shorts or one piece bathing suits while playing. I realize that bikinis are more suited to the beach but my partner has played in her bikini before and found it uncomfortable at times and also difficult to keep on when diving and rolling around on defense. On one occasion her strap popped completely leaving her to play out the point half exposed trying to keep covered. Do horror stories like that happen regularly on the women's tour? And are the bikinis you wear specially made to be more comfortable and less likely to "slip" or break? Thanks, DI and JS Pittsburgh PA DI and JS, I certainly don't doubt your intent here. Our "uniforms" are always a topic of debate. I can't really speak for the men and what they deem comfortable. (I don't think many of them are out there in tank tops, though). As far as a dress code, the AVP requires that each team wear matching bathing suits. They don't have to be exact, but the colors should be close. The AVP management prefers to have us in bathing suits, but they are super lenient when it comes to bad weather. Once you get used to it, bikinis are very comfortable to play in. It does take some research (trial and error) to find the best style and fit. I have witnessed and experienced a wardrobe malfunction with the top of a bikini. One time is all it takes to make sure it never happens again. Thanks, Nancy Hello Nancy, It was just announced the Karch and Lambo are splitting up. What is your take? What do you think would happen to the women's side if Misty and Kerri were to split? Thank You, Shannon Portland Hi Shannon, The Karch/Lambo split is big news. My guess would be that Karch was upfront with Mike about the future and where Mike should be heading. Besides being the greatest of all time in the sand, Karch is honorable, respectful and honest. I'm glad he is still going to be out there representing us every weekend. If Misty and Kerri were to split, it would just add 2 more excellent teams to our mix. People would probably be quick to assume that Kerri would pick up whoever she wanted and continue on winning. But, anyone who's actually competed against them may tell you differently. An easy example is the Queen of the Beach last year where Netty picked up Misty and won the title. Bottom line, they'll both be successful, no matter who they are playing with. That being said, I wouldn't expect to see a split anytime in the near future. Thanks, Nancy Mason Send me your questions at askthepros@avp.com. Just remember to put my name in the subject line. AVP Men By the Numbers May 25, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP The 2005 AVP men are learning early on that it is tough to be number 1. Through four tournaments in 2005 the number one seed has only made one final and only two semifinal appearances. In three of the four tournaments the number one seed has been knocked into the contender's bracket in the third round. In Fort Lauderdale number one seeded Mike Lambert & Karch Kiraly lost to 8th seeded Larry Witt & Sean Rosenthal 23-21, 22-20 in the third round. And in Austin, the 8th seeded Matt Fuerbringer & Casey Jennings beat Lambert & Kiraly 21-18, 21-14 also in the third round. The third round jinx continued last weekend in Santa Barbara as number one seed Stein Metzger & Jake Gibb fell to the eventual runner-ups and 9th seeded Todd Rogers & Sean Scott 21-15, 21-15. With the win in Santa Barbara, Jeff Nygaard & Dax Holdren grabbed hold of the top ranking entering the 2005 San Diego Open and hope to put an end to the third round jinx. If one is the loneliest number, than it take two to make a thing go right... The number two seed has won two of the four AVP events this year, finished third in Austin, and fifth in Fort Lauderdale. Heading to San Diego Metzger & Gibb will carry the precious second seed. Gibb & Metzger have put together a great season in the early going as they have won twice, finished second once and third once. A victory in San Diego will guarantee Gibb & Metzger the top spot, the big check and the number one seed jinx. It's Anyone's Game Four events deep and it is clear on the Men's side that anyone can win. While there have three different winners, a better view of the equal competition comes with a look at the semifinalists in 2005. Of the 16 total semifinal slots this season, so far 10 different teams have made an appearance. The Men's field is at least 12 teams deep as 10 of the top 12 teams have made a semifinal. Arguments could be made that the Men's field is even deeper as the lowest seeded team to reach a semifinal was Scott Wong & Mark Williams in Fort Lauderdale. Williams & Wong made the semis as the 17th seed after qualifying on Friday. Williams & Wong are joined by an 11th seed, a 10th seed, a 9th seed, and two 8th seeds who have reached the semis. Entering San Diego the Men's field remains wide open. Could new teammates Lambert & Eric Fonoimoana or Kiraly & Adam Jewell earn their first victory? Will Nick Lucena & Phil Dalhausser return to their Austin form? Can Gibb & Metzger continue the second seed success? Or will Nygaard & Holdren end the number one jinx? Tune in and find out.

Player Article:
Christian McCaw
For many years, John Hyden and Christian McCaw were two of the stars of the national indoor volleyball team of the USA. Although they finished their career in this kind of volleyball, they took the perfect opportunity to try their luck in beach volleyball. And the US players are successful. Step by step they climb the top of the beach volleyball world and there is no doubt that a new US top team is born. McCaw said farewell to the national indoor team of his country after the 2000 Sydney Olympics, while it took one more year for Hyden to quit with the indoor volleyball. He finished his indoor career in the Italian A1-league playing for Palermo, the club that he still gets a part of his salary from. “The national team broke down,” Hyden said. “There is not enough money anymore, while in our opinion the program is not good enough.” McCaw agreed. “We were not treated like professionals. After six years of indoors it was time for a change. We are both in the late 20’s and playing on the beach is much better for our body” This year is a learning year for Hyden-McCaw. They never played beach volleyball when they were national team members, simply because there was no time and after the moving of the national training centre from US best beach city San Diego to Colorado Springs in the Rocky Mountains there was also no beach in their neighbourhood. But they both have a small beach volleyball background, because Hyden was raised in San Diego. McCaw is originally from the Mid-Western city of Tulsa Oklahoma where his mother coached the only junior volleyball in the state. But he was graduated at Pepperdine University in Malibu California, the beautiful beach community north of Los Angeles. “We try to play as much as we can this year,” Hyden said. “Beach Volleyball is a completely different game.” McCaw: “It is very tough to beat teams that are already together for more than ten years. But we are getting closer and closer.” One advantage is that McCaw, former setter, and former outside hitter Hyden played together in the US national team for many years. “Christian knows exactly how he has to set a ball for me,” Hyden analysed. With the entrance of ‘rookies’ Hyden and McCaw, the concurrence to get a ticket to the 2004 Olympic Games is getting higher and higher in the USA. “Our ultimate goal is to play at the Olympics,” Hyden said. “But it will be tough to get there with so many great US teams in this sport.”

This was the first tournament the team had won since the Manhattan Beach Open the year before. Fonoimoana and Wong went through the tournament unscathed as they swept all six of their opponents. Kiraly and Lambert took a much harder path, having to fight their way to the finals through the contender's bracket.
2004 - Women's Defending Champions - Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs Hermosa Beach Open presented by Bud Light might have just as well been called the Hollywood Open, given the drama, the surprises and the last minute twists all wrapped up on a stage that was befitting all the attention. Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs won their fourth straight tournament title facing Kerri Walsh and Misty May. These two rivals had met each other 18 times previously, 13 of which were for a title. May & Walsh had the upper hand, having won each of the 13 meetings prior, including all 10 on the 2004 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. Their last win on the AVP, in Austin, Texas at the beginning of May 2004, was the spark that started McPeak & Youngs on their win streak -- one that was 22 matches long and consisted of four championships.
