An era comes sadly to an end with the well-deserved retirement of Holly McPeak . In an announcement Tuesday at media day for the AVP season, she said the 2008 beach volleyball season will officially be her last. It has been said that she has such a phenomenal lift-off that she can jump thirty inches (kid you not) from beach sand (have you ever tried doing that?) and spike a ball above a 7’4” high volleyball net. That being said, this chick is only 5’7” which makes this even more of an amazing feat. McPeak has played in all three of the Olympics that ... Read Full Story

Indian beach volleyball players say they will not wear bikinis in the World Beach Volleyball tournament because they are 'objectionable.' They also claim the skimpy outfits - the mandatory dress for the contest -are against their traditions. As a result the rules have now been relaxed for the team and they will be allowed to compete in t-shirts and long shorts. Organizers say other teams will stick with the dress code and hope the Indian team will be inspired in the future to wear bikinis in the future. A.J. Martin, director of the FiVB said: "The International Volleyball Association has a rule that allows ... Read Full Story

Pro beach volleyball star Holly McPeak is hanging up her bikini for good. McPeak is retiring from the AVP tour immediately, it was announced Wednesday. Her decision comes a month after her husband, Leonard Armato, resigned as AVP commissioner.

As usual, this time of year has brought about the inevitable partner shuffle on the AVP scene. Looks like 2010 will pair some new blood and some old as the teams fall into place for the upcoming season. On the women's side, Misty May-Treanor's return and Kerri Walsh's announced absence due to her second pregnancy left Misty to take her pick of players and to commence the fall of dominoes. Misty chose Nicole Branagh, leaving Elaine Youngs on...

One of volleyball's own is making his way up the ranks in the sports broadcasting arena. Olympic beach volleyball gold medal winner Dain Blanton, the first African American to win a beach medal back in 2000, is now the Clippers sideline reporter for Prime Ticket. I caught him as he worked the sidelines of the Clippers-Cavs game, amongst King James and Shaq himself, adding a little color and some tidbits as the game progressed. The verdict...

But alas, the match between this week's new No. 1 team and the team that had been No. 1 every week previous was televised nowhere. In the end, it seems the Matadors may have the Trojans number in more ways than one. They've managed to beat USC the last 15 times they've played dating back to 2004. On this...
