The NZ Pro Beach Volleyball Tour slams into action early in 2008 on some of New Zealand’s hottest beaches.

New Zealand’s best and brightest rising starts will feature in the Pro Tour. Top international players will also be appearing ensuring tight scoring and dramatic action.

Beach volleyball has been played in New Zealand for a little over a decade at the professional level and the Pro Tour has seen beach volleyball become firmly established on the summer sporting calendar. A true spectator sport, with spectators and media right up close to the action, provides for a lively, unforgettable outing. There are lots of photos on the Volleyball NZ website showing how close the crowd is to the action.

New Zealand champions like Anna Scarlett can be expected to be there. Action photo of Anna Scarlett from last years event by Pieter Pieterse.

The 2007/08 season will see tournaments in Matarangi, Ohope, Mount Maunganui, Wellington and Auckland. The final event in Auckland is being played at the Stanley St Tennis centre and will be attended by a large number of top international teams.
