AVP Volleyball in Sacramento @ Cal Expo

And1

G-League
The professional beach volleyball players are having a tournament @ Cal Expo and it is very cool to see it live. I spent the whole day out there today and had a blast! They have set up about 8 sand courts and some of the best players in the world are playing there. Misty May and Kerri Walsh (who won the gold medal in the last Olympics) are playing a few times over the next couple of days.

I can't even express how impressive these athletes are, and the atmosphere is so relaxed that the players just walk around with the general public and talk to fans, sign autographs, etc. We saw all of the top players that they show on TV and sometimes you are only a few feet away from them while they play their matches. It's only $15 for general admission or $30 for court side seats and it is well worth it! Just be sure to bring your sunscreen and possibly an umbrella as there is hardly any shade. Here is a link for the schedule. http://www.avp.com/schedule/gameday.jsp?id=3990 If you have nothing going on either Saturday or Sunday, you should go check it out.
 
Thanks for the headsup And1. I was thinking about going out there one day this weekend. I've been a big fan of Karch Kiraly for decades!! I would love to catch him and Steffes. I saw him win the gold in the 84 Olympic games in LA. (indoor, not beach VB.)
 
We saw him play today. It is amazing how great he still is after all these years since he was first playing indoor. He definitely can still hang with the younger guys in this tournament.
