Coney Island next stop on Tour
May-Treanor, Walsh look to continue incredible run
From
the 1920's-40's, Coney Island was known as the "World's Largest
Playground" because it was the ultimate destination for fun: there were
three large fairgrounds complete with exhilarating rides, cotton candy
and warm sunny beaches. This weekend, the island will again become
one of the largest playgrounds when the AVP circuit makes its annual
stop in Brooklyn. The Crocs Slam Brooklyn Presented by Cushman and
Wakefield will transform the beach into a 13-court volleyball showdown.
After making their way through the rounds, the men will face off in a final on Saturday at 2:30.
Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers are the No. 1 seeds and have won seven out of eight tournaments that they've entered this year. This weekend they will have to battle against many strong men's teams. Look for Sean Scott and Nick Lucena and No. 3 John Hyden and Brad as they vie for the chance to appear on center court for the finals.
On the women's side, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh have been flattening the competition in their last 90-straight match wins. This weekend, they will be attempting to hold off the upset from No. 2 Jenny Johnson Jordan and Annett Davis and No. 3 Nicole Branagh and Elaine Youngs.
The women's championship match with take place at 2:30 on Sunday.
If you aren't fortunate enough to be able to attend the tournament that will be talking place in the hot Coney Island sun, don't forget that you can still catch the action! Watch the finals live on NBC... but you probably shouldn't expect to have a golden tan by the end of it.
