November 2-7: FIVB Phuket Thailand Open in Phuket, Thailand
Follow us along as we travel around the US and the world to prepare and build points and experience and success for our Olympic goal!!!
The FIVB is the international beach volleyball federation. It is the Olympic qualifying league and participating in its worldwide tournaments is the only way to qualify for the Olympics. We are going to be in the last three events of the FIVB season (Netherlands, China, and Thailand) where we will be playing against some of the best teams in the world from all over the world! Noteworthy also is that the balls that they play with on the FIVB tour are completely different from those on the AVP tour! International balls are a different material, weight, and feel. They are purple and yellow and they require much more precision in order to control. In other words, if you do not use your legs while contacting every ball, you lose control of the ball and it can ping in any direction.
