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..

Articles for Belmar AVP 2003 THIS YEAR:
Volleyball: Soldano proving to be the toast of both coasts Sunday, July 06, 2003 BY AKILAH NELSON Star-Ledger Staff For some people at Asbury Park's Second Avenue beachfront yesterday, the run-down boardwalk and desolate stretch of sand were a surprise.They had come to see professional beach volleyball, California-style, and Asbury's shore was not reminding them of Venice BeachBut for Brian Soldano, a native of Freehold who now plays professionally with the American Volleyball Professionals tour, the Jersey Shore is where beach volleyball began. Soldano came home for this weekend's Jersey Shore Beach Volleyball Association's Greetings from Asbury Park tournament as the top contender, something you wouldn't expect from an East Coast man in a West Coast sport. Five years ago, Soldano traded the unpredictable New Jersey weather for the year-round sunny beaches of California. Today, he will compete for the JSVBA Championship and $6,500 prize money, but he's used to competing for much more than money. "You definitely have to earn (California) guys' respect when you go out there from the East Coast," Soldano said. Placing in the top 10 of eight of 21 professional tournaments helped Soldano gain that respect. Soldano left JSVBA, a semiprofessional tour, to begin his professional career in 1998. He knew he didn't quite fit the blond-haired, blue-eyed California beach boy stereotype of a volleyball player, but that did not bother him. "It gave me more drive to want to go out there and prove that New Jersey guys are legitimate competitors in this sport." Don Sachau, Soldano's former JSVBA partner, said when Soldano left there was no question that he would be a top contender. Sachau said Soldano had had all the right tools. Soldano's mother, Leslie, said he played volleyball from a very young age and that she taught him to play, at first, by batting a balloon across a string, then in a beach volleyball pit at an area swim club. "He didn't get to play in high school," Soldano's mother said. "And, so, he didn't play (intercollegiate) in college, either." Instead, Soldano played basketball and ran track at Freehold Township High School, then competed with the University of Delaware's club volleyball team, an indoor six-man sport. "It's not the same, but it helped him put together those same skills." "The odds were definitely not in my favor," Soldano said. "But I realized that did not mean I couldn't go on and be successful." Soldano has been successful. But even after competing against Karch Kiraly, who ranks first on the AVP money list, Soldano still finds competition on the Jersey Shore stiff. "There are some fierce competitors out here," Soldano said. "You can't just come out here and think because this is New Jersey there is no competition." So, Soldano doesn't mind that Asbury Park has no large crowds or hustling vendors, or that beachgoers must purchase beach badges. For him, this is just how volleyball should be -- focused on the game. "This is pure volleyball here, no form, no fashion," Soldano said.
Common Interests AVP 7/11/2003 Being able to play with one of your long time friends is always a joy. Being able to play on the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour with the same person is even better. Such is the case for the team of Casey Jennings (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) and Matt Fuerbringer (Hermosa Beach, Calif.). About four years ago, the two teamed up and qualified for a few events. They remained friends and kept in touch and this season got back together to, according to Fuerbringer, "take care of some unfinished business." They clicked immediately as a team and found that they share the same desires, goals and views of the game. Jennings and Fuerbringer were on the same page before hitting the sand, giving them an advantage that takes a long time for others to develop. As far as playing goes, Jennings is the defensive specialist. At six-foot-three-inches, his job is to cover the court and sideout. Fuerbringer, at six-foot-eight-inches, handles the blocking chores and brings excellent setting skills to the table. Jennings said the success of the team is attributed to their "persistence, discipline, and believing that they can and will be successful" adding that never giving up and training hard play a key role in their rise to the top. On the court, the competitiveness of the two appears equal. They remain focused on the game and try not to let the emotions get the best of them. Communication between the two keeps them focused and whatever goes wrong during play, is taken care of after the match concludes. Their training consists of workouts in the sand, as well as hitting the weight room to improve their strength. Away from the sport, Jennings and Fuerbringer share the same friends and hang out together quite a bit. Both players are focused on 2004 with a goal of representing the U.S. in the beach volleyball segment of the Olympics in Athens, Greece. Belmar Bound AVP 7/23/2003 The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour is rolling along during its 20th consecutive season and as it hits the shores of New Jersey, some of its athletes look to keep some streaks of their own alive. The hottest story line at the July 25-27 AVP Belmar Open involves Mike Whitmarsh (San Diego) and partner Canyon Ceman (Bel Air, Calif.) who seem to own the Jersey beach. Together the duo have notched titles in Belmar in 1997, 2000, 2002 and Whitmarsh earned one more with partner Kent Steffes in 1998. "I do seem to have a lot of confidence when I¹m playing there," Whitmarsh said. "The ball just seems to bounce my way there for some reason." Misty May (Long Beach, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (Manhattan Beach, Calif.), who appear in an AVP event in Belmar for the first time, are on a run of their own. After winning all three of the AVP events entered this season, the two return from Marseille, France where they won the Gold Medal in a July 15-20 Fèdèration Internationale de Volleyball tournament. The tandem, which earned the No. 1 ranking on the FIVB Tour in 2002, have earned one additional gold, a silver and a bronze on the international tour and have already brought its 2003 beach volleyball earnings to a whopping $153,400. The rest of the women¹s field is not about to let May and Walsh walk away with another AVP title. Holly McPeak (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) and Elaine Youngs (Durango, Colo.), winners of the June 13-15 San Diego Open Presented by Bud Light, certainly are expected to compete. Youngs, the 2002 AVP Most Valuable Player, and McPeak secured a Silver Medal on the 2003 FIVB Tour. McPeak, the 2002 AVP Best Defensive Player, continues her quest to improve on her over $1 million in career earnings (most in women¹s beach volleyball) and with one more title, ties Karolyn Kirby¹s career leading 67 championships. 2002 Best Server Annett Davis (Tarzana, Calif.) and Jenny Johnson Jordan (Tarzana, Calif.), who defeated McPeak and Youngs in two finals¹ matches last season, look to avenge a championship loss to May and Walsh in the April 25-27 AVP Tempe Open, the second stop of the Tour. Other women¹s teams include Carrie Busch (El Segundo, Calif.) and Leanne McSorley (Manhattan Beach), Lisa Arce (Redondo Beach, Calif.) and Rachel Wacholder (El Segundo, Calif.) and Nancy Mason (Redondo Beach, Calif.) with Dianne DeNecochea (La Jolla, Calif.). The 2003 AVP men¹s field is a wide-open affair with every event being won by a different combination. Champions of the April 4-6 Paul Mitchell Fort Lauderdale Open, Eric Fonoimoana (Hermosa Beach, Calif.), the 2002 AVP Most Valuable Player, and Dax Holdren, who recently underwent knee surgery, look to get back on the pace that has them earning five No. 1 finishes dating back to 2002. Brian Lewis (San Clemente, Calif.) and Brian Ayakatubby (Hermosa Beach, Calif.), champions of the June 6-8 AVP Hermosa Beach Open Presented by Bud Light, are in the hunt for their second victory this season. Dain Blanton (Santa Monica, Calif.), who won the beach volleyball Gold Medal at the 2000 Olympics with Fonoimoana, and Jeff Nygaard (Los Angeles), winners of the San Diego event, are certain to fare well in Belmar. The duo have also earned Gold and Bronze Medals on the FIVB Tour. Casey Jennings (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) and Matt Fuerbringer (Hermosa Beach, Calif.), with three second place finishes in 2003, will bring the heat to the Belmar event. In the hunt for a piece of the $125,000 purse is the team including the all time leader in championships (143) and prize money (over $3 million), Karch Kiraly (San Clemente, Calif.) and Brent Doble (Capistrano Beach, Calif.). Tournament action begins Friday with the AVP Qualifier Tournament (8 a.m.-5 p.m. local time). Main Draw action runs on Saturday (9 a.m.- 6:30 p.m.) continuing through Sunday beginning at 8:30 a.m. concluding with the women¹s finals (2 p.m.) and men¹s finals (3:30 p.m.). The big question in regards to Whitmarsh, who some have deemed as the mayor of Belmar, and Ceman, is if they can bring their A-game and top the always-competitive AVP men¹s field. The two have one title under their belt this season in Tempe, but health issues persist for both competitors. Whitmarsh sat out the San Diego event with an ankle injury and Ceman suffers from Lymphedema, a congenital defect of the lymph system in his left leg causing the limb to swell to incredible proportions. "Belmar brings out the best in me," Ceman said. "It's something about the combination of the fans making us feel like appreciated professional athletes and the sand and wind combo that seems to bring out my best serving and hitting and, the great play of Whitmarsh."
Beach Volleyball Orange County Metro The professional circuit hits the Huntington Beach Open Aug. 14-17 By Jason Reed Sinjin Smith. Randy Stoklos. Kent Stefes. Karch Kiraly. These are the old names of pro beach volleyball. Eric Fonoimoana, Holly McPeak, Misty May (of Long Beach State) and Karch Kiraly are the players lighting up the circuit today. After more than 20 years on the sand, Kiraly stands as the link from beach volleyball past to beach volleyball present. Kiraly has excelled indoors as well as out and has three Olympic Gold Medals - 1984 and 1988 indoors and 1996 in the first-ever Olympic Beach Volleyball tournament. Along with his current partner, Brent Doble, Kiraly will play in the Huntington Beach Open Aug. 14-17 and then attempt to qualify for the Athens Olympics when the tour hits the new Home Depot Center in Carson for Olympic qualifying this September. The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) sanctions beach volleyball tournaments in Southern California and around the world. The 2003 AVP Tour returns home to Southern California in August, playing at the beach where it all started - Manhattan Beach. The next weekend the players move down to Surf City to play in the Huntington Beach Open, then return in September to the Home Depot Center for Olympic qualifying. Orange County has a long and storied history with the AVP dating back to 1983 and the Seal Beach Open. The tournaments next to the pier started with a few hundred fans lounging in their beach chairs but by the '90s grandstands had to be constructed to hold all the people who flocked to the beach. With the popularity of the sport growing, the chance of getting Seal Beach back in the near future is good. Two O.C. tournaments would be good for a region known for the beach. The AVP can trace its roots back to 1948 and the first known tournament was held in Los Angeles. The players were not playing for prize money as they are today and there were no corporate sponsors. The winning duo split a case of Pepsi as their prize. The year 1965 saw the birth of the California Beach Volleyball Association and beach volleyball was finally becoming a legitimate sport. The "circuit" was now up to eight events being held up and down California at places you would expect, like Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and Manhattan Beach and at one unlikely spot - Lake Tahoe. About 250 folks made it out to San Diego in 1974 to witness the first commercially sponsored tournament - the San Diego Open sponsored by Winston Cigarettes which featured a whopping $1,500 in total prize money! It didn't take long for the sport to explode and just two years later at the Olympia (beer) Championships of Beach Volleyball 30,000 people gathered to witness the event and first prize alone was $5,000. The 1980s saw the tour catch fire and with major corporate sponsors such as Jose Cuervo tequila and Miller Lite backing the events, prize money grew tremendously. The old Prime Ticket sports cable channel in So. Cal and ABC's Wide World of Sports broadcast the tournaments to a large audience. The biggest year for beach volleyball was 1988 with a record 28 events held around the country. However, the late 1990's were dismal for the fledgling sports league. Then in 2001, sports agent Leonard Armato - best known for making Shaquille O'Neal a household name - took control of the AVP. Armato has transformed the pro circuit into a lucrative venture that is being talked about not just locally, but globally. Today the tour has multi-year sponsorship commitments from major corporations including Nissan, Gatorade (part of PepsiCo), Paul Mitchell, Microsoft and Anhauser-Busch. In addition, NBC TV has contracted to televise six events during August. In addition to Armato, another ambassador of the sport is Kiraly. At 43, he still loves to play and is the iron man of the sport, winning 143 titles going into 2003 and earning more than $3 million in prize money. Most players on the tour grew up playing the sport from their youth, but Mike Whitmarsh is a big exception. Originally a basketball player, he was also drafted by the Portland Trailblazers and played briefly for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Today he is seventh all time on the career money list and was a Silver Medalist at the '96 Atlanta Games. The 2003 schedule includes an East Coast swing in July to Belmar, N.J. before returning to Southern California. The tour features tournaments on six natural beaches and four landlocked, manmade beaches. In April, the matches were held in Tempe, Ariz. - a place known for sand, but not for the beach. At the end of August, the tour will make its annual pilgrimage to Chicago, then to the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas in September. The Olympic qualifying at Home Depot Center is the last of the fake beaches. It won't be long until the professional beach volleyball tour comes to Huntington Beach.

She picked up another win in San Diego this past June and now needs one more to tie and two more to be No. 1. Kerri Walsh - This 24-year-old partners with Misty May to form the top team of 2003. The pair has won three out of the four tournaments played so far this summer.

Sunday’s play begins at 8:30 a.m. at Belmar Beach at 4th & Ocean with women’s final set for 2 p.m. and the men’s final is set for 3:30 p.m. This is the fifth stop on the AVP Nissan Series. Big rally for beach Published in the Asbury Park Press 7/26/03 By TRACY ROBINSON COASTAL MONMOUTH BUREAU BELMAR -- A big spike in the beach crowd is due here this weekend, thanks to the Association of Volleyball Professionals tour, which is making its only stop in the Northeast at the Nissan Series Belmar Open today and tomorrow. "I'd say we're going to get upwards of 50,000 on the beach this weekend," said AVP commissioner Leonard Armato yesterday. Tour officials were delighted by yesterday's perfect weather and the prospect of more sun today and tomorrow. After a slow start because of the rainy June, beach badge revenues for the town, nearly $1.5 million as of July 20, are almost back to last year's level. And since tournament watchers will have to wear a badge, a big sales spurt is expected. With a total of $125,000 at stake, the event kicked off yesterday with 93 men's and women's teams competing in qualifying games to get to play today. Top-ranked teams -- including defending champions Canyon Ceman/Mike Whitmarsh and Elaine Youngs/Holly McPeak -- have already secured their spots in the main draw event. But the competition gets tougher today as the eight men's teams and six women's teams who qualified yesterday take on the big guns. By tomorrow night, the double-elimination tournament will whittle the field down to two winning teams, each of which gets $14,500. "I've come to see the pros," said spectator Di Pearson yesterday as she stood in the stand watching Pawel Kadlubowski and Michael Mielcarz play Jim Walls and Skylar Davis. "I come down every year for this, it's a blast," said Pearson, 45, who is here from Moorestown for the weekend. "As far as watching goes it doesn't get better than this." Belmar is a popular stop on the tour, agreed top-seeded player Karch Kiraly, because the tour has played here for so long, and area fans "really only get to see us once a year." Another reason for the event's popularity is because the Jersey Shore has many beach volleyball enthusiasts, he said. "There were tons of temporary courts set up today," Kiraly said. "The people that come to Belmar really love their volleyball," Armato said. "It's a great beach, and you have a great following of people who play beach volleyball and they can't wait for the pros to come in," said AVP publicity director Debbie Rubio. Spectators agree "It is like a major event in our back yard," said Monica Slattery of Brick, who came to watch with her three children Shannon, 14, Neil, 12, and Shayne, 10. "I think it is really cool I am really excited it's here," Shannon said as she participated in a free skills clinic for kids yesterday. The clinic, which involved some pros teaching skills like serving, passing and setting, is to get youth interested in the sport, said Heather Kreger, an AVP marketing manager. "Whether they are the next player or the next fan, it is a way to get them involved," she said. The clinic was just one among many sideshows. Others included an interactive tent with games sponsored by X box and a Bud Light party zone, Armato said. "It is also a wonderful interactive beach party," he said. Local business owners, such as Clark Mitchell of Be Green, an oceanfront eatery, welcome the additional business the beach party brings. "This thing is wonderful for us . . . especially because they are really health conscious," said Mitchell, whose shop sells fruit smoothies and good-for-you sandwiches. "This is our best weekend of the year," he said, estimating sales will be 20 percent greater than on an ordinary one. AVP Nissan Series Belmar Open - May/Walsh continue to win while newcomers Witt/Rosenthal capture their first title AVP 7/27/2003 MAY/WALSH AND ROSENTHAL/WITT CAPTURE AVP NISSAN SERIES TITLES AT THE BELMAR OPEN Belmar, NJ (July 27, 2003) - The raucous crowd at the AVP Nissan Series Belmar Open witnessed two entertaining finals as top seeded Misty May (Long Beach, CA) and Kerri Walsh (Manhattan Beach,CA) captured their fourth title this season while newcomers Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, CA)and Larry Witt (Santa Ynez, CA) won their first career title before a packed crowd at Belmar Beach, NJ. The women's final saw the top seeds dispatch the second seeded team of Holly McPeak (Manhattan CA) and Elaine Youngs (Durango; CO) in workmanlike fashion by the scores of 21-17, 21-11. This was the third meeting in the finals between these two teams on the AVP Nissan Series, with May and Walsh winning each contest. Since making their AVP debut this season, May and Walsh now have a 20-0 match record. In the semi round they defeated fifth seeds Dianne DeNecochea (San Diego, CA) and Nancy Mason (Redondo Beach, CA) 21-19, 21-13. In the men's final eighth seeds Sean Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, CA) and Larry Witt (Santa Ynez, CA) captured their first win on the AVP Nissan Series by defeating the fourth seeded team of Matt Fuerbringer (Hermosa Beach, CA) and Casey Jennings (Manhattan Beach, CA) 21-17, 21-11, 15-12 in a grueling three game match. This marked the fourth finals appearance for Fuerbringer and Jennings this season. . On the road to the finals Fuerbringer/Jennings defeated 19th seeds Jason Ring (Bend, OR) and Scott Wong (Venice, CA) 21-17, 21-16 in a semi match. The month of August, the AVP Nissan Series will be "live" on NBC beginning with the Manhattan Open, Aug. 7-10, Huntington Open, Aug. 14-17 and the Chicago Open, Aug. 28-31st.
