Staff<br>---***---<br>History of Champions - The AVP is looking to build an

your favorite past champions and why? We would love to
get a few stories with photos of the great
Smith/Stoklos and Hovland/Dodd rivalry.<br>If you have any
digital images of past champions please email us today.
Also we are looking for any old photos of Sinjin and
Karch playing together.Grassroots - The AVP is looking
for contributors and editors<br>to help us reach out

activity so indoor information is terrific as

section of our website for amateur tournaments, so please
get your 2002 tournament infomation ready to send us.
The section will list all tournaments that the AVP is
aware of<br>for 2002. Stay tuned for more
information.<br>Indoor Sand Facilities - Here in Southern California we
are very fortunate to have great weather and beaches.
However,we often become spoiled. For instance, if the
weather drops<br>into the sixties with the slightest of
winds, it is a good bet that nobody will be playing
ball. Being from the midwest,I remember praying for 50
degree weather in the spring so we could get outside and
play some ball. It always seemed to<br>take about two
weeks to get your sand legs. In addition to playing
volleyball in less than desirable conditions, we often
played at indoor sand volleyball facilities just
to<br>keep the touch of the ball. These facilities are very
common in the Midwest and East Coast. Volleyball players
are truly diehard fans and participants. The AVP
salutes those players<br>that make the phone calls, drive
an hour in bad weather (rain and snow), and pay
court fees just to play at an indoor sand volleyball
facility. This is dedication. The AVP is looking<br>for
best and the worst indoor sand volleyball facilities
and stories about the players who play in them.Send
us an email today with your story and images. We
have heard of people playing in heated barns in the
winter, is this true?<br>We need email messages from all
Volleyball Players. Support the AVP today and tell all your
friends to visit AVP.com. In addition, don't forget to
remind your friends to signup for<br>the newsletter. It
is as simple as entering your email. The more people
we know the more successful we can be <br>IAN CLARK
