We are honored to be part of this tradition and to once again work with the City of Manhattan Beach to produce such an iconic event.” With the top beach volleyball players now under exclusive contract to play in the AVP, Manhattan Beach will host the country’s best, including three-time Olympic gold medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings, Olympic gold medalists Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser, Olymic silver medalists April Ross and Jen Kessy, two-time Olympian Jake Gibb and Olympian Nicole Branagh. “We’re thrilled to be a part of the Manhattan Beach Open, and we couldn’t be happier to have the world’s best players competing on a beach with so much history behind it,” said Donald Sun, the AVP’s managing partner. “IMG has been a terrific partner, and the city of Manhattan Beach has welcomed us with open arms.” Sponsors of the 2013 Manhattan Beach Open will include Bud Light, Paul Mitchell, Lyfe Kitchen, GNC, Wilson and more.

And rightfully so. They keep adding to their resumes with significant honors – most recently, Taylor’s 4-Star FIVB tournament with Jake Gibb (November in Chetumal,W Mexico) and Trevor’s sublime triumph at the Manhattan Beach Open last August. But while Taylor and Trevor won a few NORCECAs playing together, they could never capture an AVP or FIVB title, which, in part, led them to seek different partners. The Crabbs are not the only elite brother combo (see page 22) to seek the pro beach volleyball limelight. In fact, the most intriguing set of siblings may be the Partains, 19-year-old Marcus and 18-year-old Miles. Together, they were the youngest team to make an AVP main draw, which they achieved in Hermosa Beach, California, in July of 2017. Separately, Miles, at 15 years and seven I do (get excited when Miles months, became the youngest individual to ever make an AVP main draw. “ But it wasn’t until this past fall that Miles really broke out. He finished fifth in a fully loaded plays well). Regardless of AVP Chicago event with Paul Lotman, who at the time was twice as old as his precocious partner. Nevertheless, Miles’ poise under fire was truly exceptional.

    ERFORMANCE P VOLLEYBALL CONDITIONING ANEWSLETTER DEDICATED TO IMPROVING VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS www.performancecondition.com/volleyball Olympic Gold Medal Preparation for Beach Volleyball: The Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers Program Bob Alejo, C.S.C.S., Beach Volleyball Personal Conditioning Coach Bob Alejo is no stranger to conditioning volleyball players. He has trained Liz Masakayan, Holly McPeak and Kent Steffes and is currently the Beach Volleyball Personal Strength and Conditioning Coach for Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. In addition to his vol- leyball experience, Bob is Director of Strength and Conditioning for the Oakland Athletics Major League Baseball team. n 2005 Phil Dalhausser could not get into a 30-degree squatting position. He was BEG weak and inflexible. We started dead lifting out of a power rack because he was so INT inflexible we could not put the bar on the ground to do the lift properly. Over the ADV course of time he can now do heal to butt defensive stance digging balls everywhere. Not only is he a dominant offensive power but also has turned into one of the best defensiveI players in the game. We've done it periodized with basic movements-nothing "Star Wars" at all. We pull it off the ground- we press it, snatch it integrating joint stability with a lit- tle core work, very simple and all injury free! Being in Beijing and witnessing the Gold Medal victory of Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers was a great experience. Beach training for volleyball has its own unique characteristics and I get asked questions about how best to train beach players.

Winner of seven gold medals this season with two different partners, Harley was recognized as the SWATCH Most Outstanding Player for 2008 season at the year’s last double gender event in China this past weekend in Sanya. The women’s post-season awards will be announced next week. The men’s SWATCH Most Outstanding Player was selected byrepresentatives from SWATCH and the Federation Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), who also selected Igor Kolodinsky as the SWATCH top server for the 2008 season as the Russian recorded a record serve of 114.0 km/h. Harley teamed with Pedro Salgado to clinch the SWATCH team-of-the-year award by capturing the 2008 point’s championship at a mid-September event in Guarujà, Brazil. After winning six gold medals in 2008 with Salgado, Harley ended the campaign capturing the season-ending event in Sanya with Benjamin Insfran. “It is always an honor to be recognized as the top player,” said the 34-year old Harley. “This honor helps in easing my failure with Pedro to qualify for the Olympics. However, we did accomplish a lot in winning six events together this season to finish as the top team on the SWATCH tour.
