I travel to Little Rock for work one week out of every month.
That makes it impossible for me to participate in any LR league
stuff, unless I could be a sub.
The only way to be noticed is to play.
Can any one out there point me in the right direction?

The AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour's is live on NBC from Coney Island
on Saturday August 19th and Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET).
August 15, 2006 -- The AVP Brooklyn Open Presented by Cushman &
Wakefield will be broadcast live on NBC on Saturday August 19th and
Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET). Catch both the Men and Women as they
battle for big prize money at the AVP Crocs Tour's debut in the state
of New York.
The rivalry on the sand between the top two men's teams has heated up
as top-seeded Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger and second-seeded Phil
Dalhausser and Todd Rogers have met in the finals of the previous two
AVP finals. In Chicago, Lambert and Metzger swept Dalhausser and Rogers
21-16, 21-18. While Dalhausser and Rogers exacted their revenge this
past Sunday at the Historic Manhattan Beach Open defeating Lambert and
Metzger 22-20, 21-23, 15-11. Combined, these two teams have won nine of
the eleven 2006 AVP Crocs Tour events.
In the race for the Crocs Cup, awarded to the best men's and
women's team at the conclusion of the AVP Crocs Tour, just 20 points
separate Lambert/Metzger and Dalhausser/Rogers. With increased points
available in network events, both teams will bring their best game to
Coney Island. Tune in to the Men's final live on NBC on Saturday,
August 19 at 4:30pm (ET).
The path to the women's championship will be different in Coney
Island as partner switches have continued. Elaine Youngs and Nancy
Mason, fresh off their second place finish at the Manhattan Beach Open
last Saturday, will line up next to new partners. Youngs will team with
Nicole Branagh, the 2005 AVP Rookie of the Year, while Mason will
partner with AVP Star Tyra Turner. Branagh's former partner and
career victories leader Holly McPeak will partner with two-time indoor
Olympian Logan Tom.
The one constant on the women's side has been the dominant play of
2004 Olympic Gold Medalist Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh.
May-Treanor and Walsh, the number one team in the world, have won nine
of the eleven AVP Crocs Tour events this year, including a victory last
weekend in the AVP Manhattan Beach Open. In New York, the duo will look
to win their tenth event of the year, which would set the record for
most regular season wins by a women's team. May-Treanor and Walsh won
nine regular season events in 2005. Tune in to the Women's final live
on NBC on Sunday, August 20 at 4:30pm (ET) to see if May-Treanor and
Walsh can set the record.
Other AVP stars heating up the beach will be 2000 Olympic Gold
Medalists Dain Blanton and Eric Fonoimoana, three-time Olympic Gold
Medal winner Karch Kiraly, and 2005 AVP Best Defensive Player Rachel
Wacholder.
Do not miss the hottest action of beach LIVE on NBC Saturday August
19th and Sunday August 20th at 4:30pm (ET).
The competition is sure to be fierce and you do not want to miss a
single serve, dig or spike.

Santa Barbara Locals Todd Rogers and Phil Dalhausser Win Bud Light Santa
Barbara Open
May 21, 2006
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 22, 2006 - Local Santa Barbara residents Todd
Rogers and Phil Dalhausser swept the men's final of the AVP Bud Light Santa
Barbara Open Sunday, defeating Jeff Nygaard and John Hyden, 21-19, 21-15.
The win is the second consecutive victory for Rogers and Dalhausser on the
2006 AVP Crocs Tour.
Rogers, a Santa Barbara native, has played in the championship match of the
Santa Barbara Open in five of his six tournament appearances. His win Sunday
marks the first time he has won in front of his hometown crowd. Rogers, who
lives in Solvang, Calif., attended the University of California Santa
Barbara and coached men's volleyball at his alma mater from 2000 to 2005.
Rogers said he was thrilled with the win. "You saw my reaction at the end.
It's mind-boggling," Rogers said. "I'm happy to get it (the win) under my
belt. It feels good to have won in my town."
Rogers and Dalhausser entered the finals after defeating Hans Stolfus and
Aaron Wachtfogel in the semi-finals, 21-17, 21-9. Nygaard and Hyden defeated
Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger in the semi-finals, 21-17, 21-10.
Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Santa Barbara native Karch Kiraly was
eliminated from the tournament during Saturday play by the surprise team of
Brent Doble and Ryan Mariano 22-20, 21-15. Even though Kiraly did not play
Sunday, he was still on-hand in Santa Barbara, Calif., working as a color
commentator for the broadcast of the men's final on Fox Sports Net.
In the women's final Saturday, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh defeated
Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, 21-14, 21-14. With the win, May-Treanor
and Walsh made history as the first women's team in beach volleyball to
record their 50th career team title. It was the duo's third consecutive
victory on the 2006 AVP Crocs Tour. The broadcast of the women's final was
the AVP's live national debut on the FOX Network and was the first High
Definition broadcast in the history of the Tour.
The next stop for the AVP Tour will be the AVP Cuervo Gold Crown Huntington
Beach Open, May 26-28. The Cuervo Gold Crown is comprised of three AVP beach
volleyball tournaments this season that offer more first-place prize money
than every other tournament on the AVP Tour.

AVP Tour Announces 2006 Television Broadcast Schedule
- AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour to be Broadcast on NBC, FOX Network and FOX
Sports Net -
LOS ANGELES, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AVP Pro Beach Volleyball
Tour, a wholly owned subsidiary of AVP, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AVPI -
News), a lifestyle sports entertainment company focused on professional
beach volleyball, today officially announced its 2006 television broadcast
schedule. Over 75 hours of AVP Tour action will be broadcast on three
different networks: NBC, the FOX Network and FOX Sports Net.
The 2006 Tour includes two new events, five new cities, and a record $3.5
million in prize money. The prize money is split equally between the men and
the women and represents a 17% increase from last year's purse of $3.0
million. This season, the AVP Tour will visit 16 cities, including the new
additions of Birmingham, Ala., Sacramento, Calif., Atlanta, Ga., Brooklyn,
N.Y, and Lake Tahoe, Nev.
The expanded 2006 schedule comes on the heels of a very successful 2005
season. The AVP Tour experienced healthy growth last season, including a 48%
increase in its fan base, according to Scarborough Sports Marketing, which
compares favorably to the growth in other sports properties for the same
time period.
The 2006 broadcast schedule includes four events on NBC, two events on FOX
and 10 events on FSN. In addition, all NBC and FOX events will be
re-broadcast on FSN.
"We are thrilled about the continued increase of exposure for both the sport
of professional beach volleyball and the elite AVP athletes," said Leonard
Armato, CEO and Tour Commissioner. "We are glad to be working with NBC and
FSN again this year and we are looking forward to our first year on FOX."
In addition, AVP has developed several promoter relationships to help bring
tournaments to cities that might not otherwise host such events. Local
organizers are responsible for selling all local revenue for the tournament,
including tickets, concessions, sponsorships and hospitality. Event cities
with local promoters include: Sacramento (Sacramento Sports Commission),
Atlanta (Atlanta Sports Council), Birmingham-Hoover (Bruno Event Team),
Brooklyn (Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment) and Cincinnati (Reach Event
Marketing). AVP's strategic alliances with top local promotion companies
allow the AVP Tour to have a strong presence in new markets without the
standard upfront capital resources as well as gaining year-round, aggressive
marketing and outreach for each event.

LOS ANGELES - January 26, 2006 - AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, a wholly
owned subsidiary of AVP, Inc. (OTC: AVPI.OB), a lifestyle sports
entertainment company focused on professional beach volleyball, today
officially announced its 2006 Tour season schedule, which includes two new
events, five new cities, and a record $3.5 million in prize money. The prize
money is split equally between the men and the women and represents a 17%
increase from last year's purse of $3.0 million.
This season, the AVP Tour will visit 16 cities, including five new additions
- Birmingham, Ala. Sacramento, Calif., Atlanta, Ga., Brooklyn, N.Y, and Lake
Tahoe, Nev.:
March 31-April 2 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
May 5-7 - Tempe, AZ
May 18-21 - Santa Barbara, CA
May 26-28 - Huntington Beach, CA
June 9-11 - Hermosa Beach, CA
June 15-18 - Sacramento, CA
June 29-July 2 - Seaside Heights, NJ
July 6-9 - Atlanta, GA
July 13-16 - Birmingham, AL
July 20-23 - Chicago, IL
August 10-13 - Manhattan Beach, CA
August 17-20 - Brooklyn (Coney Island), NY
August 25-27 - Boulder, CO
August 31-Sept 3 - Cincinnati, OH

All events will be televised with coverage on NBC and FOX Sports Net (FSN).
A detailed broadcast schedule will be released soon. Tickets will be
available soon.
The expanded 2006 schedule comes on the heels of a very successful 2005
season. The AVP Tour experienced healthy growth last season, including a 48%
increase in its fan base, according to Scarborough Sports Marketing, which
compares favorably to the growth in other sports properties for the same
time period.
In addition, AVP has developed several promoter relationships to help bring
tournaments to cities that might not otherwise host such events. Local
organizers are responsible for selling all local revenue for the tournament,
including tickets, concessions, sponsorships and hospitality. Event cities
with local promoters include: Sacramento (Sacramento Sports Commission),
Atlanta (Atlanta Sports Council), Birmingham-Hoover (Bruno Event Team),
Brooklyn (Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment) and Cincinnati (Reach Event
Marketing). AVP's strategic alliances with top local promotion companies
allows the AVP Tour to have a strong presence in new markets without the
standard upfront capital resources as well as gaining year-round, aggressive
marketing and outreach for each event.
"We are thrilled at the success and expansion of the AVP Tour and we are
looking forward to coming into these new markets and returning to several of
our 2005 Tour stops" said Leonard Armato, CEO and Tour Commissioner. "We are
pleased that, through successful promoter alliances, we are able to bring
the excitement of beach volleyball inland, expanding beach volleyball and
reaching a larger audience. With our fan base continually growing and a
record amount for prize money, this looks to be the best AVP season yet."

I just wanted to make a last minute appeal. I am the head women's
volleyball coach at Trinity Bible College in North Dakota and I am in
need of some volleyball player for THIS coming fall season. So if any
of you-all out there are interested and you have graduated HS be it

to talk to you and see if you can be a part of our program. I realize
this is last minute this is last minute in nature, but there may be
that someone looking to play on this level. (Which by the way is not
