Come find out at the Barefoot Wine AVPNext Championship Cup
Barefoot AVPNext champions to live the dream this weekend
16 Barefoot champion teams of each gender will compete Thursday for a
main draw spot in the San Francisco Open.
Thursday is the day many have been waiting for: the Barefoot Wine
AVPNext Championship Cup!
Winners of their Barefoot volleyball leagues from around the country,
16 amateur teams of each gender will compete for the chance to go pro.
Winning teams will earn a main draw berth in the weekend's AVP Crocs
Tour San Francisco Open. 64 athletes' hard work, determination, and
endurance over the past four months has led to this point. Barefoot
champions are set to arrive in San Francisco and attend a welcome
reception today at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
From there, they will prepare for the biggest tournament in most of
their careers.
Play starts Thursday at 8 a.m. sharp and will continue until the
single-elimination tournament's men's and women's finals at
approximately 4 p.m. and 5:15 p.m., respectively, at
Stadium Court.
During the day, Barefoot league winners will have the opportunity to
hang out with Olympic gold medalists Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers.
Media will get their turn to talk to Phil, Todd, and Barefoot athletes
at a meet-and-greet during the Championship Cup finals at Stadium
Court.
Many athletes playing in the championship have already had a taste of
AVP main draw play by
qualifying this year and in before. For example, Rico Becker of
Phoenix has qualified for 24 main draws since 2000. Another rising
star is Dana Fiume of East End Volleyball in New York. Fiume has
played in six AVP main draws this year alone. With these and other
athletes vying for the main draw, Aug. 13 looks to be an extremely
exciting day of great beach
volleyball.
