Hot off the press. This would be a great opportunity for anyone
looking to see pro beach volleyball in person and not wanting to
travel too far to see it.

AVP PRO BEACH VOLLEYBALL ANNOUNCES DEBUT EVENT IN CHARLESTON
December 8, 2006

Charleston, SC (December 8, 2006) -- AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour,
Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AVP, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
AVPI), a lifestyle sports entertainment company focused on
professional beach volleyball will bring the fast-growing AVP Pro
Beach Volleyball Tour to the Family Circle Tennis Center in
Charleston, South Carolina. The AVP Charleston Open will take place
this summer, June 14-17, 2007. The AVP Charleston Open will kick off
with an open qualifier on Thursday, June 14 and continue with the main
draw throughout the weekend, culminating with the men's and women's
finals on Sunday, June 17. More than 150 of the world's top men's and
women's beach volleyball professionals will compete in the tournament
to be televised nationally on Fox Sports Net.

A press conference was held today, Friday, Dec. 8 at 12:15 p.m. at the
Family Circle Tennis Center in Charleston featuring Charleston Mayor
Joseph P. Riley, Jr, AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato, and pro beach
volleyball stars Holly McPeak and Stein Metzger.

Charleston is the first new city announced for the 2007 AVP season and
will make up one of eighteen events nationwide. The tournament is
scheduled to take place at Charleston's premier outdoor facility, the
Family Circle Tennis Center. AVP's Charleston debut features an
integrated partnership with the Family Circle Tennis Center which will
actively promote and present the event. The Family Circle Tennis
Center will be responsible for selling all local revenue for the
tournament, including tickets, concessions, sponsorships and
hospitality, with AVP maintaining control over all of its assets.
Tickets will be available for purchase in late March on the official
AVP website (www.avp.com).

"We are excited to bring the AVP Tour to Charleston," said Leonard
Armato, CEO and Tour Commissioner. "The AVP is proud to be included as
a premier sports event in a city that is home to the Family Circle Cup
and the inaugural Ginn Tribute. We are thrilled to be working with the
Family Circle Tennis Center and we look forward to bringing the
excitement of the Tour and beach volleyball to Charleston."

"This is a big win for Charleston. The AVP Tour brings a third major
sporting event to Charleston, and will really stand out as something
special in this city," said Bob Moran, Director of Sales and Business
Development -- Family Circle Tennis Center. "This venture is the
product of our commitment to continue to bring important events to
Charleston. We're very happy that the AVP recognizes Charleston's
ability to support an event of this caliber, and we look forward to
another exciting year on Daniel Island."
