Sport to get underway in 2010-11, but NCAA changes name from "beach" to "sand" so that landlocked schools don't get depressed. [ESPN] More »

A local TV interview with the organizer of a beach volleyball tournament goes horribly awry. (There's a sentence I never thought I'd write.) To be fair, beach volleyball makes everyone light headed. [WMBB] More »

She's already got Dubya's handprints all over her ass, so Kerri Walsh hardly notices this, one would assume. Walsh and Misty May-Treanor brought home the gold for the good ol' USA once again, beating the People's Republic of Cop-A-Feel 2-0 (21-18, 21-18) early Thursday morning in Women's Parking Lot Volleyball. The American duo became the first in their sport, male or female, to repeat as Olympic champions. It was their 108th consecutive win dating to August of last year, and not even a Chinese government-ordered rainstorm could prevent the local pair, Tian Jia and Wang Jiefor, from losing. More »

There are many many reasons to enjoy AVP Tour volleyball, not the least of which is pictured here. Becoming a Cuervo girl, I hear, not only requires a certain body type, but one must also have a variety of promotional mini-volleyball deliveries. This one here appears to be two-seam fastball. But I called for a changeup! Time to visit the mound. More »

The one element of beach volleyball no major sport has to endure is the ability to move around, with great ease, on shifting sand. Sure, turf toe can be a concern for football and baseball, but mobility is severely curbed on beach volleyball courts, because the playing surface moves around. To boot, if a beach volleyball tournament is being held in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, there's also the added challenge of avoiding potentially hepatitis-laden needles. More »
