COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 20, 2009) - The USA Volleyball beach department has announced its selections for the Under-19 (youth) and Under-26 teams that will represent the United States in international competitions this summer.
It has also announced three out of four teams for the Under-21 (junior) U.S. national team.
"With 50 athletes in our June-July training program, we had an unbelievably strong group from which to choose," said Ali Wood Lamberson, USA Volleyball's director of beach programs. "Our goal for these athletes is not only to win medals at their events, but also to make an impact on the beach volleyball world and to be the future of the AVP and FIVB tours."
The beach athletes have been training in Southern California with Eduardo "Anjinho" Bacil, USA Volleyball's head beach volleyball coach with assistance from Jon Aharoni, USAV's coordinator of beach coaching and development.
