7 California Stops on the AVP Crocs
Tour 2008
AVP
or Association of Volleyball Professionals, is the premier
organization for volleyball competitions and entertainment in the
USA. Expanding in recent years to a full year schedule in cities
throughout the U.S. with new series names and some new sponsorships,
the organization offers has gone a long way to create appeal for one
of America's favorite sports. California is especially proud to be
home to some of the world's top volleyball players such as Misty May
Treanor, and is the premier
beach volleyball location to host events.
All the AVP California
events will be at the beach in cities from north to south: San
Francisco, Santa Barbara, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Long
Beach, Huntington Beach and San Diego. For those who familiar with
the
Southern California beaches, you can see that the heaviest
concentration of AVP beach games take place on the sand in SoCal,
known for its flat, sandy beach expanses that are ideal for this
type of event. While this AVP Crocs tour makes its way throughout
the United States, nearly 25 percent of its show dates are in
California, and most of those are repeat performances in Southern
California. While the event used to be free to watch, this new
approach has met success in most locations. And the event organizers
said that without the ticket sales, they could not afford to host
their event. For those who can't pay the amount, some places such as
Huntington Beach offer limited viewing from the HB Pier.
