How To Get There
Location 4th Avenue at Ocean Blvd.
Belmar, NJ 07719
 
Driving:
From the Newark airport, take the New Jersey Turnpike South. Turn off at exit 11, Garden State Parkway, and go South. Turn off at exit 98, "Belmar, Spring Lake", to Belmar. Go right on 5th Street to Ocean.
 
Parking:
Belmar attracts a decent crowd. Its a larger stop on the tour. There's also a large beach crowd so parking can get a little tight if you don't get there early enough.  There are meters along the beach and additional street parking as you move away from the beach all the way down to main street (if you do park on the side streets make sure it is in a legal space) As for motels I know there are a few in Belmar and the surrounding areas but there are also a lot of B&Bs in Spring Lake and Sea Girt, the next two towns down.

Beach Badges Mandatory:
You must purchase a beach badge before purchasing your Tickets to the Belmar AVP Event. Badges are available for each day of the event right on the boardwalk on 5th street  in booths at the entrance to the event.The cost is an extra $5 daily in addition to the General AVP Admission.. 

General AVP Admission
 - Saturday Only $5
 - Sunday Only $5
 - Saturady and Sunday $10

Mr. Sandman: Age, injuries no match for Kiraly
Fred Siegle/Asbury Park Press
6/26/2002
Even when Karch Kiraly isn't there, he often becomes a big part of the story at a beach volleyball tournament.
Take the Association of Volleyball Professional's Belmar Open last year. Kiraly, the all-time leader in beach volleyball victories, didn't attend because of a leg injury. But when Brent Doble -- who began the year as Kiraly's partner -- won the event with Lee LeGrande, speculation immediately began concerning what Doble would do when Kiraly came back from the injury. Stay with LeGrande, with whom he won? Or go back to Kiraly, a three-time Olympic gold medalist (twice indoors in the 1980s and on the beach at the 1996 games in Atlanta), possibly the greatest volleyball player, indoor, beach or both, of all time?
This year, Doble is back with Kiraly. And two weeks ago, everybody found out why when the pair won the AVP's Santa Barbara Open, Kiraly's 143rd career win. This weekend, Kiraly returns to Belmar for the first time since 1999 for the AVP's 12th Belmar event. He'll be trying to tie former partner Kent Steffes with his fifth Belmar victory and add the 144th tournament win to his career total.Those stats, along with his gold-medal status and his $2,989,030 in career prize money, make Kiraly a big story everywhere he goes."I'm not the only story on the tour," Kiraly said. "There's a lot of interesting stories. The reigning gold medalists (Eric Fonoimoana and Dain Blanton) are on the tour, even though they split as a team about two monthes after they won the gold. But if I have to play the part, I will." But Kiraly is more than a big draw. Everybody knows, if he's playing, he has to be considered a contender. Even at nearly 42 years old, he and 32-year-old Doble haven't finished worse than fifth in their three tournaments so far."Brent naturally went someplace else when I was hurt," Kiraly said. "But we decided to try again this year. We've been right there in all the tournaments so far. We've finished third, fifth and first. And each time, we showed we have some great potential together. We've had some real close matches with some of the best teams around."
Kiraly said he never considered retiring, even with the injury that limited him to two events last year, ending a streak of 14 straight years in which he won at least one tournament. In fact, it actually may have enabled him to extend his career. A shoulder injury had hampered him the previous year, when he often played despite the pain.
"The Achilles' (tendon) injury could recur, but it's been over a year," Kiraly said. "Right now, everything feels fine. And if anything, missing some events last year actually gave my body some rest, and it helped recoup some of the strength in my shoulder." Kiraly said the AVP field is deeper than it's ever been, making it difficult for a team to dominate the way he and Steffes did from 1992 to 1994, when they won 48 of 71 tournaments they entered, including the Belmar event in each of those years. And at 6-2, he's now one of the smaller players on the tour. Partner Doble, for instance, is 6-6.
"I still feel there's some good volleyball in me," Kiraly said. "I'm taking as good care of my body as I can, and I try to use the experience I've gained over time to overcome the younger, more physical guys on the tour now."
Besides, he said, 40-year-old Mike Whitmarsh, another four-time Belmar winner, won't allow him to quit.
"Mike says I can't retire until he retires," Kiraly said. "He doesn't want to be the oldest guy out there. And he's still playing some real good volleyball."

AVP TOUR VISITS JERSEY SHORE WITH TRENDS AT STAKE;

BELMAR, N. J. - Will it be the same for the Association of Volleyball
Professionals (AVP) Tour this weekend (June 28-30) when the domestic pro beach
players invade the Jersey Shore for the 12th-straight season at Belmar Beach
for the $150,000 AVP 2002 Belmar Open Presented by Paul Mitchell?
The first three AVP Tour stops in California have produced a similar pattern
for each gender.   The pattern for the men was a different winning team in
Huntington Beach, Hermosa Beach and Santa Barbara.  The women's patterm
featured the same teams in the championship match each time with the same title
tandem - Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs.
The women return to Belmar for the first time since the early 1990s when the
AVP Tour staged a four-team event in 1993 on Belmar Beach followed by an
eight-team field in 1994.  McPeak teamed with Cammy Ciarelli to win the 1993
women's title while 1996 Atlanta Olympic Gold Medallists Sandra Pires and
Jackie Silva winning the 1994 title.
McPeak and Youngs have won 15-straight AVP Tour events this season.  The pair
defeated Dianne DeNecochea and Barbra Fontana each title match at Huntington,
Hermosa and Santa Barbara.  McPeak and Youngs extended their 2002 winning
streak to 19-straight matches before dropping an elimination match last
Saturday in Switzerland to Sydney Olympic Gold Medallists Natalie Cook and
Elaine Youngs.
Youngs will also be seeking her fifth straight AVP Tour team title as she
teamed with Barbra Fontana to capture the Manhattan Beach crown last August.  A
title this weekend would also put McPeak into second-place on the all-time
title standings behind Karolyn Kirby.  McPeak is currently tied for second with
Silva at 59 each.  Kirby, who retired after the 2000 season, won 67 women's pro
beach titles.
Beach legends Karch Kiraly and Mike Whitmarsh highlight the men's field as both
men will be seeking their fifth Belmar title to tie Kent Steffes for the most
wins on Belmar Beach.  Kiraly enters this weekend after winning the last AVP
Tour stop in Santa Barbara (June 16) with Brent Doble.
The win was the 143rd in Kiraly's career, as he became the oldest player (41
years, 265 days) to win a pro beach title.  Doble became the 12th different
partner to capture a title with Kiraly, who won Belmar titles in 1991, 1992,
1993 and 1996 with Steffes.  Retired from the sport since 1999, Steffes won his
fifth Belmar title with Whitmarsh in 1998.
Whitmarsh won his first Belmar title with Canyon Ceman and his third crown on
Belmar Beach with David Swatik.  Ceman and Whitmarsh, who are entered together
this weekend, also captured the 2000 Belmar Open before placing third last
season when Doble and Lee LeGrande defeated Albert Hannemann and Sean Scott for
the title.
Eric Fonoimoana and Dax Holdren captured the 2002 season opener by defeating
Ceman and Whitmarsh in the Huntington Beach finale May 26.  Hannemann and Jeff
Nygaard upset top-seeded Stein Metzger and Kevin Wong for the Hermosa Beach
crown June 9.  Doble and Kiraly defeated Fonoimoana and Holdren for the Santa
Barbara title June 16.
Kiraly (1996 Atlanta with Steffes) and Fonoimoana (Sydney 2000 with Dain
Blanton) are Olympic Gold Medallists.  Whitmarsh captutred the Silver Medal
with Mike Dodd in the 1996 Olympic Games.  Other USA beach Olympians competing
this weekend are McPeak (1996 and 200), Fontana (1996), Linda Hanley (1996) and
Wong (2000).
The AVP 2002 Belmar Open Presented by Paul Mitchell begins Friday (June 28)
with men's (51 teams) and women's (27 teams) qualifying.  The
single-elimination qualifier will advance eight men's and six women's teams to
Saturday's opening Main Draw double-elimination rounds.  Friday's qualifier is
set to start at 8 a.m. (EDT).  Saturday's Main Draw will begin at 9 a.m. with
Sunday's final matches scheduled to start at 8 a.m.
After the Belmar stop, the AVP Tour will take five weekends off before resuming
play with nationally-televised events by NBC from Manhattan Beach (August 9-11)
and Chicago (August 23-25).  The season ends with a specialty event in Las
Vegas September 4-7.
During the break, the top AVP Tour players will be competing internationally on
the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour.  The next FIVB event is July 2-7 in
Stavanger, Norway for the fourth-straight.  The 2002 Stavanger will also
feature women's competition for the first time.
Thirteen (13) teams from the AVP Tour have entered the Norway stop.  As for
Norway results, Brazilians have won all three men's titles, including Gold
Medals by former AVP Tour players Jose Loiola (1999) and Emanuel Rego (1999 and
2001).  The best USA finish in Norway was a 2000 fifth by Carl Henkel and
Sinjin Smith.
Men's Main Draw (July 5-7) - Stein Metzger/Kevin Wong, Eric Fonoimoana/Dax
Holdren and Dain Blanton/Carl Henkel.  Men's Qualification Tournament (July
3-4) - Todd Rogers/Sean Scott, John Hyden/Christian McCaw, Adam Jewell/Collin
Smith, Casey Jennings/Brad Torsone.
Women's Main Draw (july 4-6) - Holly McPeak/Elaine Youngs and Dianne

berth for the United States.  Women Qualification Tournament (July 2-3) -

Wendell/Ali Wood and April Chapple Zanella and MJ Smith.
