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.

volleyball history and the premier tournament in the nation since the
1960s. Every year, the winners of the Manhattan Beach Open have their
names engraved on the Manhattan Beach pier.

history, Karch Kiraly. Kiraly, who has been out since the AVP Crocs
Tour stop in Sacramento in mid-June, will compete for his ninth
Manhattan Beach Open title this weekend.

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh enter Manhattan Beach as the top-seed

other two. Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, the winners in the other
two events this year, decided to part ways as partners prior to the
Manhattan Beach Open. Youngs will compete with Nancy Mason and
Wacholder will play with Jen Boss.

On the men's side, Mike Lambert and Stein Meztger will look to follow
their win at the last stop on the AVP Crocs Tour in Chicago with
another win in Manhattan Beach. The duo has won three events this
season. Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers will look for their sixth win
of the season in Manhattan Beach. The duo has been dominant on the Tour
this year and a win in Manhattan Beach will mark the first time a men's
team has won six AVP events in one season since Karch Kiraly and Adam
Johnson in 1998.

The main draw of the AVP Manhattan Beach Open presented by Bud Light
begins Friday, August 11 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Saturday, August 12,

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.

THE NUMBER ONE VOLLEYBALL CLINIC IN THE NATION IS COMING TO THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST IN AUGUST FOR 3 GREAT CLINICS!!!!!

Thursday & Friday, August 11-12, Spokane, WA
Saturday & Sunday, August 13-14, Surrey, BC
Monday & Tuesday, August 15-16,  Seattle, WA


Olympic Gold Medalist and the nation's number skills instructor, Pat
Powers, will conduct a three clinics in the Pacific Northwest in
August. The clinics are for junior and adult players, both male and
female.

****PLEASE CHECK WEBSITE FOR AVAILIBILITY OF EACH EVENT****

********************FREE T-SHIRT TO ALL PARTICIPANTS**************

"This clinic is very technique oriented.  I have developed a teaching
method that OVER-CORRECTS flaws and weaknesses in a players game.  I
have spent nineteen years playing at the highest level and the last
eleven teaching.  I have developed a program that enables both the
junior and advanced player to learn in a comfortable non-intimidating
environment." states Coach Powers.

Why is VBClinics.Com the best?

1. Learn why you should backspin a volleyball when passing
2. Learn to get more power when hitting.
3. Learn how to time a set; and how to time your hitters.
4. Learn how to develop your peripheral vision when hitting.
5. Learn how to make your float serve dance.
6. Learn how to get into position on defense.
7. Learn the basics of non-verbal communication on the court.
8. A three-page handout outlining the secrets of the game.
9. Competition suited for each individual player.
10. Learn why you should broad jump into the set.
11. Learn how to snap a ball instead of hitting it.
12. Juniors: How to position yourself for a collegiate scholarship!!
13. Learn how to play defense in the two-person game!

There are three fundamentals stressed in the clinic common in all team
sports:

1. Playing the game three seconds into the future.
2. Using peripheral vision.
3. Reacting to bodies instead of the ball.

"The most frequently asked question is about skill level.  All
clinics/camps have a variation in talent.  The difference becomes
apparent when the participants play.  To mitigate this what I do is
spend ~80% of the time on skills and drills.  If you do a high level
of repetition reinforcing the correct way of executing a given skill,
you shorten the learning curve associated with motor movements.  The
initial skill level of the player is not an issue."

I'm going to be out in Idaho Falls visiting family for a couple weeks
and I was curious if anyone knew of any open gym volleyball out there.
I don't care if I play with "A" or "B" players, I just want to play!
Thanks for you help.

USA Men to Face Netherlands in Spokane, Boise and Portland to Start ’05
Season

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The USA Men’s National Volleyball Team opens the
2005 season with three matches against the Netherlands in Washington, Idaho
and Oregon, respectively, from June 2-5, it was announced Tuesday.

The matches will be Team USA’s first international competition of the 2005
season and the first under new head coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New
Zealand).  McCutcheon was named head coach on Feb. 3.

“It’s great that we get such a quality opponent to start the season,” said
McCutcheon.  “We are very happy that Holland is able to come and play us.
At that stage we are going to have some younger guys on the roster, so it’s
just wonderful that we get to play such a quality team this early in our
season.  It’s going to be a good experience.  For the team and for the
program it’s a great way to begin.”

The series starts on Thursday, June 2 at the Star Theatre at the Spokane
Arena in Spokane, Wash., at 7 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time).  Tickets for
this match go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 1, and will be available
at the Spokane Arena box office, all TicketsWest locations, TicketsWest.com
or by calling 1-800-325-SEAT.  Groups of 10 or more should call 509-324-0711
to enjoy discounted prices on tickets.

The second match is scheduled for Friday, June 3 at the Bank of America
Centre in Boise, Idaho, at 7:30 p.m. (Mountain Daylight Time).  Tickets for
the match in Boise go on sale Monday, April 18 at 10 a.m.  Tickets will be
available at the Bank of America Centre Box Office, all Select-a-Seat
outlets, Idahotickets.com or by calling 208-331-8497.

The series then concludes on Sunday, June 5 with a 4 p.m. (PDT) match at the
Rose Garden Arena in Portland, Ore.  Tickets for the series finale go on
sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 22.  Tickets can be purchased at the
RoseQuarter Box Office, all Ticketmaster Outlets, Ticketmaster.com or by
calling 503-224-4400.  For group sales call 503-963-4400.

“The opportunity to play these matches here in the United States is
wonderful,” McCutcheon added.  “We would like to play a lot more events here
in the U.S., obviously.  The people that are going to come out and see these
matches are going to see some quality volleyball and a couple of
international powerhouses going at it.  It should be good.”

Last year, Team USA posted a record of 20-9 and finished fourth at the 2004
Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.  The men, ranked No. 5 in the world to
start the 2005 season, showed glimpses of its potential to return to the
upper echelon of the volleyball world last season, posting wins over three
of the top four teams in the world (No. 1 Brazil, No. 3 Serbia and
Montenegro and No. 4 Russia—twice).

The United States won Olympic gold medals in 1984 in Los Angeles and 1988 in
Seoul and earned the bronze medal in 1992 in Barcelona.

The Dutch, who finished tied for ninth at the Athens Olympics, begin the
year ranked No. 11 in the world.  The Netherlands captured the gold medal at
the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta after earning a silver medal at the 1992
Olympics.

These two teams met last summer in Athens as the Americans overcame deficits
of 17-12 and 23-19 in the first set and posted a stunning 26-24, 25-20,
25-18 victory to end a nine-match Olympic losing streak.  The win helped
propel Team USA to the No. 3 spot in the pool and all the way to the bronze
medal match, where they lost to Russia.

For the Dutch, who defeated 2000 Olympic silver medalist (and eventual 2004
bronze medalist) Russia in five sets in the first match of pool play, the
loss proved to be a key reason they did not advance to the medal round.  The
Netherlands then lost to Brazil and Italy before beating Australia in the
final preliminary match and finished fifth in Pool A with a record of 2-3
behind Brazil (4-1), Italy (3-2), USA (3-2) and Russia (3-2).

Following the three-match series, both teams will travel to Seattle, Wash.,
to compete in the Pacific Rim Sports Summit from June 8-12.  Teams from
Australia and China will join the Netherlands and the United States in the
four-team tournament at the Qwest Field Event Center

Hello all, I am new to the list and looking to play some
volleyball.  We can I go to play, either league or open gym?  I am
in Kuna so if there is anything there that would be great.  If not
then Meridian and Boise will do.  I am ready to play.
Dan

parks, volleyball bars and other stuff.  I live in Montana, but I

weekend of good games or a tournament.  If anyone knows af a group or
a bar with a court, or a facility with sand courts, please please

Boise is the place to find ball, but it all depends on
