Tour prepares for league format by bringing 300 tons of sand in for Saturday/Sunday debut.
The AVP prepares the Los Angeles Tennis Center for the debut of its league play Saturday. Preparations included bringing in 300 tons of sand for the beach volleyball two-day event. LOS ANGELES — Miles Evans finds himself constantly telling people that the sport he plays is “sand” volleyball, rather than “beach.”
These aren’t the only nuances the AVP is introducing. There’s a complete revamp of scheduling, match-scoring, and team-branding. Evans said he was skeptical of the AVP’s alterations, at first. He, however, was sold on the fact that these changes are less about him and more about the future of his sport.
Julia Scoles, who won a beach volleyball national championship at USC and represents the LA Launch, admired how Carvino’s ideas prioritized the fans’ needs. “The AVP league allows you to choose exactly who you’re supporting and when they’re going to play,” Scoles said. “It’s something that can be built and just there’s consistency, there’s stability.”
