AVP heads to Panama City Beach this March
Courtesy Of AVP
By: Kelly O'Rourke, on 02/05/2009
For the first time, the AVP is headed to Spring Break in Panama City Beach, Florida.
As college students across the country prepare for the time honored tradition of Spring Break, the AVP prepares to start a Spring Break tradition of its own this year in
Panama City Beach, Florida. Known to many as Spring Break Capital of the World, Panama City Beach plays host to hundreds of thousands of college students each
year, who descend on the Florida coast to soak up the surf and sand, and party on the beach. Along with the endless sea of Spring Breakers, also come some of the
biggest names in Spring Break entertainment, including MTV, who has called Panama City Beach its Spring Break home for several years.
This year, the AVP plans on making its own name for itself in Spring Break entertainment, as it will pack up the Southern California beach party atmosphere found on the
AVP Crocs Tour and bring it to Panama City Beach for the first event of the 2009 season.
While the main event of AVP’s Spring Break will be the AVP Crocs Tour, March 27-29, the AVP will head to Panama Beach City on March 7 to start its three week Spring
Break experience. The first two weeks of Spring Break will include numerous promotions and events geared towards Spring Breakers, and hosted by the AVP’s official
sponsors, including, Bud Light, Crocs, Gatorade, Naked Juice, and Nature Valley, among others. The third week of the AVP’s Spring Break will start off with the first ever
Collegiate Beach Challenge. Starting on Tuesday, March 24, college students from across the country will have the chance to participate in a two day four-on-four
beach volleyball tournament. There will be a men’s, women’s and coed division, each competing for cash prizes. Also at stake for the winning teams will be the unique
opportunity to move on to a final where they will face a team of two AVP Pros.The finale of the AVP’s Spring Break in Panama City Beach will come at the end of week
three, with the AVP Crocs Tour Panama City Beach Open. In what will serve as the 2009 season-opening event, the AVP Crocs Tour will showcase some of the best
beach volleyball players in the world, including 2008 Olympic Gold Medalists, Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. A one-day qualifier will begin on Friday morning followed
by a live band in the evening. Men’s and women’s main draw action will start on Saturday morning with the finals scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The AVP Crocs Tour event will take place directly in front of Sharky’s Beach Front Restaurant & Tiki Bar, located in the heart of Panama City Beach. In an attempt to
revert back to beach volleyball's beginnings, six of the courts will be set up in “old school” style. This will include minimal bleacher seating, allowing plenty of room for
beach-goers to throw down their towels and mingle, while fully enjoying the beach party atmosphere of Spring Break.
Those wanting to be close to all of the AVP’s Spring Break events are encouraged to stay in one of the several hotels and condominiums that are affiliated with Sharky’s.
For more information, stay tuned for more details as AVP’s Spring Break gets closer at the AVP.com website.

There are some players on Twitter. I know that Jake Gibb, Hans Stolfus, Holly McPeak and a few others are on there. There's also an AVP Tour person on Twitter. you should look into that from my page, Nick.
Good to hear from you, Nick. I'm hardly on here any more. I love Facebook more!
Thanks 4 the add!!!! If you get some free time come check us out on the NEW Sand Volleyball Network, Its all about Beach volleyball there a people from all over the world, chatting about the outdoor game.
LOL straight up Philly phan here - Phillies broke the curse so look out Giants the Eagles are sure to follow!! It is a drag they aren't having any HWN nearby, I couldn't go last year but was going to try to get to one this year - guess not. All is well in VolleyChickLand, had a great time during my visit to CA last month will be going back soon for sure. Tell Suzi I said hi...and don't be crying in your beer too much tomorrow after the Eagles stomp the Giants : p
Hi Nick! Hope you and Suzi watched Misty/Kerri win last night! I'm about to watch Todd/Phil clobber the Brazilians (at least I hope so). I hope they can do what this kitty does to this toothbrush (lol).
Yeah, I definitely missed being there one of my favorite stops last year, unfortunately it got moved up right in the middle of our summer quarter start at work so couldn't get away, maybe it'll be 4th of July again next year. Yeah, Glave made it rather gloomy that Belmar would be the last stop this year, but I guess they figured out a way to continue which is great because I can't wait for Chicago!! yeah the backup MC is just awful, Glave groaned at everything he said in Louisville, so I can imagine how bad that was. Brooklyn is doubtful, I'm not good at the big city traveling on my own, but it could still happen. I'll definitely check out Lynn's page, talk to you later!
Hetas,Ibill Just got back from BMAR AVP we missed you not being there this year. Talked with Di & CoGlave breifly about the state of the AVP after his gals Ivy/Lowe had a tough loss. BMAR was a blast but it shrunk and seemed so much lesser of an event due to the small draw and so many playas overseas.I miss the thurs qualies and the locals who give each event character. But the weather was gr8 all weekend until 10 mins after the event completed and without GEETER there announcing it was a bit less exciting. Hope to catch you in Coney Island this year if your schedule&Fundings alow it. L8TRS Bud. See Lynnies myspace for a few more details on how Aunt Suzi is claiming the AVP BMAR champs.Pics to follow slowly.
Hey Nick, great to see you too - glad Suzi liked the shirt. I'll have to make her one that says Wong/Olsen good luck charm! We ended up at Headliners saturday night, had a good time - entire weekend was a blast. Didn't make it back today, wanted to beat the crowds home and get some rest : p See you in Coney - go Team VolleyChick!
I was wondering: the AVP showed a video of someone named Sue in B-mar. I was wondering if that's Aunt Suzi that they were mentioning? have you seen that video?
Yeah, I haven't decided if I'm going to HWN in Chicago/Bloomington, see if I can use my connections. If Miami is 4 days, I'm skipping it too, but I'll definitely be in NJ, so look forward to seeing you there!
