~ AVP Beach Volleyball Tour stars Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh featured in February 6 episode~

LOS ANGELES – February 1, 2006 – AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of AVP, Inc. (OTC: AVPI.OB), a lifestyle sports entertainment company focused on professional beach volleyball announced today that top players Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh are featured in a CSI:Miami show scheduled to air on CBS on Monday, February 6.

In addition to Misty and Kerri, other AVP players featured in the episode include Olympic bronze medalist Holly McPeak, Makare Wilson, Ashley Ivy, Brittany Hochevar, Chrissie Zartman and Ella Vakhidova.  AVP Tour announcer Chris “Geeter” McGee is also featured in the episode. 

The beginning of the show centers around an AVP beach volleyball tournament that CSI: Miami investigator Eric Delko (played by actor Adam Rodriguez) is attending. During Misty and Kerri’s match, they accidentally discover a body part in the sand, which stops the match and leads Delko and the rest of the CSI:Miami team to investigate. The scene was filmed in Marina del Rey on January 10 where they replicated an actual AVP tournament featuring stands, tents and hundreds of extras.

“It is very exciting to have our players featured on a show like CSI:Miami,” said Leonard Armato, CEO and Tour Commissioner.  “It is a highly respected show with a strong viewership that can only help us further promote the AVP brand and our sport. We hope that we can reach more fans, and even create new ones from our involvement with the show. Hopefully there will be more opportunities like this to showcase our product and our talent.”
