Womens Beach Volleyball Champions Coaching on Pro Tour
An interesting trend began this past summer with legendary female champion volleyball players giving back to their sport by coaching some of the top women's pro beach volleyball players on this year's AVP Beach Volleyball Tournament Tour.
The association of volleyball players is a beach volleyball tournament that hosts the best players in the nation all over the United States. It currently has a summer tour that starts in April and continues almost every weekend until the end of September and a winter tour that starts in January and hosts tournaments Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays until the end of February. Since its beginning in 1983, it has grown in the size of the tournament, the level of competition, and the purse, in part through the promotion of the sport by successful players such as Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklos, Mike Dodd, and Tim Hovland, and the founder, Leonard Armato.
