The 27 finalists consist of players and coaches that range from the 1940s to the 2000s. Numerous finalists have already been inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame and others have been inducted into the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Hall of Fame. Almost all nominees have won NCAA, AIAW or USVBA National Championships and over two-thirds have competed or coached in at least one Olympic Games. Of the 27 selected, the leading colleges for the finalists are UCLA with eight having either played or coached there and USC in second with six having either played or coached there. Stanford, San Diego State, Long Beach State and Pepperdine have 3 that have either played or coached there. “The SCIVBHOF committee had the unique job of reviewing nearly 100 nominees to reach the 27 finalists and I know it be a challenging process to reach the 15 hall of fame inductees,” said Michael Sondheimer, SCIVBHOF Executive Director. “Anyone associated with USA and Southern California indoor volleyball should be proud of the first two years of accomplishments for the SCIVBHOF in recognizing the legends of the sport and in efforts to grow the future of the indoor sport through making non-profit youth volleyball donations.” The SCIVBHOF is located at American Sports Centers in Anaheim and is a free display open to the public in the Sidelines Café.

    Beach Volleyball

    Beach Volleyball - John Kessel, USA Volleyball Director of Education, Grassroots, Disabled & Beach Volleyball With Beach Volleyball is a very popular and fast growing sport all over the world. At the same time it is a sport recognized by major international sport associations such as the International Olympic Committee and the International Volleyball Federation. Beach Volleyball is a fun game that can help you accomplish your goals of becoming a world-class athlete. The doubles game can also be played on the grass, using the same portable net systems and rules. In 1996 Beach Volleyball was, for the first time, part of the Olympic Games. 24 Men’s Teams from 19 different nations and 18 Women’s Teams from 13 nations participated in the event. The American Men finished first and second in Atlanta. 1997 the U.S. hosted the 8th Beach Volleyball World Championships at the UCLA Tennis Center. In the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, with 48 teams from 23 nations, the USA team men took home the gold again, while the other men and women’s teams all tied with three 5th place finishes. Beach Volleyball is big! Especially in the United States where the AVP drives a professional volleyball circus bigger than in any other country. USA Volleyball and the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) have hosted thousands of major beach volleyball tournaments. For nearly a decade, the U.S. Junior Olympic Beach Volleyball Championships have been held for kids in the 18,17,16,15,14,13, and 12 & under age brackets. The International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) will stage the first ever Junior World Championships in the summer of 2001.

    Who will take it home in 2019? Founded in 1983, the AVP is the longest standing and most well known American beach volleyball organization, facilitating national tournaments, developing new talent, invigorating communities through sport, and promoting a beach volleyball lifestyle across the United States. The AVP’s second stop on the 2019 Tour is to the second largest state in the country, Texas. The capital city of Austin playing host to high-level volleyball is nothing new to the area. Combine a passionate fanbase with the country’s top pro beach volleyball athletes, and a little extra sprinkle of that Austin-weird, this tournament is sure to be one of the can’t-miss stops on tour. In 2018, the AVP saw Phil Dalhausser, Nick Lucena, April Ross, and Alix Klineman take home first place in the Austin Open. Dalhausser and Lucena also won the Austin Open in 2018, adding on to their impressive resume. The AVP is excited to welcome you to the 2019 Austin Open. The 2019 season is shaping up to be an amazing experience for all, highlighted by eight unique tour stops. AVP events embrace the beauty of our sport and the lifestyle, and we look forward to sharing this with the community in Austin. The 2019 Austin Open will be made up of 16 Main Draw teams for both men and women — 10 auto entries, 2 wild cards, and 4 qualifier teams. Athletes are competing for a slice of the $150,000 in prize money. Besides watching the world-class athletes battle for the podium, attendees can enjoy an interactive sponsor village experience: free falling into the Jump Zone, partaking in top local food options, VIP hospitality zones, drinks, and physical activities.
