1/21/2003

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. (January 21, 2003) – The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour and NBC Sports announced an agreement today outlining a significantly increased network broadcast package for the 2003 AVP season. In August, NBC will air six AVP finals for a total of nine hours of programming, a marked increase from 2002’s two broadcasts and four hours of coverage. In addition to televising three AVP men’s finals live, NBC will for the first time offer live coverage of three AVP women’s finals.

In total, the 2003 AVP Tour will feature ten combined men’s and women’s Tournaments (up from seven last year) with equal prize money for men and women. New locations in ’03 will include lead off event in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. as well as stops in Tempe, Ariz., and San Diego, Calif. Additionally, the AVP will feature a “Grand Slam” Olympic Qualifying event at the new Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif.

The seven non-network events will be seen nationally on a major cable outlet to be announced at a later date.

The “AVP on NBC” schedule will kick off from the Manhattan Beach Open (August 7-10). The women’s final will be seen live on Saturday, August 9, from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. (EDT) with the men’s final airing the following day (Sunday, August 10) from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. (EDT).
The second AVP tournament on NBC will be the Huntington Beach Open (August 14-17) on Saturday, August 16, from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. (EDT) for the women’s final and Sunday, August 17 for the men’s final at 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. (EDT).

The third tournament to be featured on NBC is the Chicago Open, an AVP Tour staple for many years. Once again, the tournament will be held on the popular North Avenue Beach (August 28-31) with live broadcasts on NBC Saturday, August 30 (4:30 – 6:00 p.m. EDT) and Sunday, August 31 (4:30 – 6:00 p.m. EDT).

Jon Miller, Senior Vice President, NBC Sports said, “NBC is thrilled with what Leonard Armato and the AVP have delivered to our programming line-up. The AVP has definitely risen to the next level in terms of their product, athletes, sponsor support and ratings. The momentum they have generated since last year is astonishing which is why we’re dramatically increasing their exposure and adding first-ever live women’s coverage.”

“The AVP is pleased that NBC has shown so much support for our tour, tour sponsors and players,” said Leonard Armato, AVP Commissioner. “We feel that our world-class athletes provide fans with edge-of-the-seat entertainment that is fun, sexy and powerful. This is the 20th anniversary of the AVP, and it is a great feeling to see this exciting sport back on stable ground with a strong sponsor base heading into 2003.”

The 2003 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball schedule is as follows:

Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.  April 4-6  * Cable
Tempe, Ariz.   April 25-27  * Cable

This season, the AVP tour schedule has expanded from seven tournaments to ten and concludes with an Olympic qualifying event in September, which will be held at the newly constructed Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. All ten AVP tournament stops will feature men’s and women’s competition and will offer more than $1 million in prize money.

Last season the AVP crowned 2002 Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Fonoimoana and his partner Dax Holdren as the top men’s team over Brent Doble and beach volleyball legend Karch Kiraly, who surpassed the $3 million mark in career earnings during the season. On the women’s side, Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs won five tournaments en route to earning them the number one ranking over Annett Davis and Jenny Johnson Jordan. Joining the AVP Tour this year is one of the top international women’s team for the United States, Misty May and Kerri Walsh.

AVP Womens News - TV Update
* Last Year's 2002 information below,stay tuned as to what AVP women's events will be scheduled for broadcast on this network in 2003.

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. :-)

Getting to know Todd Rogers

12/4/2002

Todd Rogers is living proof of the acorn not falling too far from the tree.

He lives in the same city (Santa Barbara, Calif.) that he grew up in, attended college (University of California at Santa Barbara) at and now competes on the beaches of as a member of the Association of Volleyball Professionals..........................

Albert’s ship comes in

Courtesy of the AVP

12/10/2002

The wait was worth it.

For Association of Volleyball Professional Albert Hannemann, it was a nine-year wait until his first professional beach volleyball championship.

It was at the June 7-9 AVP Hermosa Beach (Calif.) Open Presented by Michelob Light at Mervyn's Beach Bash that Hannemann, teamed with Jeff Nygaard, finally became victorious. The win also accounted for Nygaard’s first title in his third season of competing professionally............................

Manhattan Beach, CA--The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) announced today that the number one team on the International FIVB Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, Misty May and Kerri Walsh, have signed an exclusive contract with the AVP Tour effective immediately...................................

A Season of Cheer

Courtesy of the AVP

12/24/2002

Because a large majority of the Association of Volleyball Professionals reside in California (or similar mild climate areas), snow and chill are not factors in most holiday celebrations involving AVP athletes and their loved ones.

Therefore, the holiday lyrics “chestnuts roasting on an open fire, Jack Frost nipping at your nose,” may be more appropriate if replaced with “bon fires on a sandy beach, sunscreen spread on your nose.”

Regardless of the locality, everyone spends time during this season in their own special way and the AVP thought it could bring cheer to its followers by sharing some thoughts from its competitors on their holiday pleasures.

The AVP offers a gift to all of its supporters during this festive time. Through this holiday season, the responses from players of the AVP about their responses to the following questions are shared:

Where will you spend the holidays this year?
What is the No. 1 gift on your holiday list?
What is your favorite holiday memory?

Season’s greetings from the AVP and stay tuned for 2003...........................

A Year to Grow On

Courtesy of the AVP

12/30/2002

After taking a year off of her professional beach volleyball career to bring daughter Jaylen into the world, Association of Volleyball Professionals’ Jennifer Johnson Jordan hit the beach running in 2002. Teamed with Annett Davis, who also sat out the 2001 season due to a pregnancy, Johnson Jordan amassed $40,395 in earnings on last season’s AVP Tour..................

Getting to Know Lisa Arce

Courtesy of the AVP

1/1/2003

After 10 seasons of professional doubles volleyball experience Association of Volleyball Professionals’ Lisa Arce has accomplished a lot. The 33-year-old volleyball Redondo Beach, Calif. resident, who took home the 2001 AVP Queen of the Beach honor, earned $18,428 on the 2002 AVP Tour with partner Linda Hanley. Arce and Hanley tied for third place at the Sept. 5-7 Paul Mitchell AVP Shootout in Las Vegas. Her $41,525 in 2001 AVP prize money, earned with partner Holly McPeak, was tops and complimented the University of California graduate’s $42,625 on the Fèdèration Internationale de Volleyball World Tour nicely during the same season.............................

Sharing the season

Courtesy of the AVP

1/13/2003

Association of Volleyball Professionals Eric Fonoimoana and Albert Hannemann started the holiday season on a charitable note by hosting a fundraiser with high hopes of helping kids.
The Dec. 12 Winter Warmth Celebration 2002, held at Sangria Restaurant in Hermosa Beach, Calif., served not only as a kickoff party for the South Bay’s winter season but also as an evening to provide children in Los Angeles with literacy programs, in-classroom libraries, academic scholarships and volleyball training..................................

Getting to Know Karch Kiraly

Courtesy of the AVP

1/30/2003

There are a number of reasons that qualify Association of Volleyball Professionals’ Karch Kiraly as the greatest volleyball player of all time. 3 million, 143 and three are some that quickly come to mind.
Anybody paying attention to the 17-year career of the 42-year-old UCLA graduate who earned this season’s AVP Best Defensive Player Award, knows what the numbers represent. 3 million: amount of dollars earned in volleyball career earnings making him the first to surpass the milestone. The exact numbers is $3,001,258. 143: number of career tournament championships with the most recent coming at the June 14-16 AVP Michelob Light Santa Barbara Open presented by Paul Mitchell with partner Brent Doble...................................

The program offers elite up-and-coming competitors the opportunity to compare skill levels to other players across the nation and to compete against the world’s finest on the AVP....................................................

Busch Sets it Straight
by Mark Dustin

Courtesy of the AVP

2/10/2003

For the Association of Volleyball Professionals’ Best Female Setter of 2002 award winner, Carrie Busch, the skill comes easy. Since the age of 13, playing indoor club volleyball, Busch has provided the sets that every hitter dreams about.
Busch stresses footwork saying in order to provide a good set it is important to get around the ball and square up to the target as much as possible, even if it means running across the court to chase an errant pass................................

The potential benefits of antioxidants has been well documented through years of scientific research. Veriuni didn’t just stop with traditional antioxidants; we went a step further and included a red-wine extract, to create a very potent antioxidant. Experience the VERIUNI difference.I already take a daily multi-vitamin, why do I need to take an antioxidant?
The vitamins and minerals in our Advanced Antioxidant work together to block the chemical reactions that generate free radicals (compounds that harm the immune system and can damage DNA) and also help destroy them. Put simply, antioxidants help safeguard your immune system, retard the aging process, and protect your health. In addition, research has shown individual antioxidants support heart health and eye health - both important to older adults.

To boost your energy levels and healthy lifestyle, check out Veriuni's Advanced Antioxidant with Red Wine Extract. One dose (two capsules) of the Veriuni antioxidant includes 500 mg of Vitamin C, 400 IU of Vitamin E, and 50 mg of red wine extract.
