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.

  • Volleyball National Collegiate Men’S
    Volleyball NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S 2009 Championship Highlights Career performance leads Anteaters to volleyball crown: UC Irvine’s Ryan Ammerman made his last match his most memorable one by turning in a career performance to lead the Anteaters to a five-set victory over Southern California in the National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Championship match May 9 in Provo, Utah. Ammerman, the Anteaters’ setter, registered a career-high 13 total blocks, tied a career high with six kills and recorded 55 assists to help UC Irvine rally for a 26-30, 30-23, 26-30, 30-17, 15-12 victory. It is the program’s second national title in the last three seasons. As proficient as Ammerman was, the tournament’s most outstanding player wasn’t interested in hearing about his individual statistics. “I just wanted to win and that’s it,” said Ammerman, whose team went 27-5 this season. The Anteaters, who were swept by Southern California in the semifinals of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament nine days before the NCAA finale, had a season-high 20.5 blocks to gain a measure of revenge against the Trojans (21-11). Southern California entered the final as a long shot, having gained a spot in the four-team national bracket by upsetting No. 4 Stanford, the top-ranked Anteaters and second-ranked Pepperdine in the MPSF tourney. The postseason run came after the Trojans lost four of their previous six regular-season matches. “The clock struck midnight on us,” said Trojans coach Bill Ferguson, whose team beat defending national champion Penn State in the NCAA semifinals.

Der Brasilianer will mit seinem Partner Ricardo Santos in Peking Gold holen. Er kennt das Gefühl, vor vier Jahren in Athen ist ihm dieses Kunststück bereits gelungen Gesichtern herumlaufen, dabei stünden sie doch alle in der Verantwortung: „Wir müssen ein gutes Bild vermitteln. Beachvolleyball ist doch eine riesige Party, an der wir teilnehmen dürfen.” Emanuel kennt Spiele wie das gegen Harle y/ Pedro zur Genüge. Nir gendwo ist der Konkur- renzkampf so hart wie unter den Brasilianern, „da ist die Motivation noch größer”. Emanuel sieht die Duelle gegen die Landsleute mit gemischten Gefühlen. Einerseits sei es gut, ständig gefordert zu werden. Aber weil es in seiner Heimat so viele Spitzenspieler gibt, werden permanent neue Teams gebildet, was wiederum einer langfristigen Entwicklung des einzelnen Athleten schadet. Seit fünf Jahren spielt Emanuel Rego mit einem schlafenden Riesen Emanuel, der seit 1994 international Beachvol- leyball spielt, hatte bislang zehn P artner, von denen drei herausragend sind: Ze Marco de Melo, Jose Loiola und Ricardo Santos. Die erfolgreichste Phase seiner Karriere erlebt er seit 2003 mit Ricardo, der drei Jahre zuvor mit Ze Marco in Sydney Silber gewonnen hatte. Ricardo Santos sei ein „schlafender Riese, den keiner wirklich kennt”, sagt Mauricio Kaya. „Er ist die ideale Ergänzung für Emanuel”. Kaya ist ein Fotograf aus Rio de Janeiro, der die brasi- lianischen Beachprofis seit vier Jahren beglei- tet.
