This is a non-series event.  We offer different divisions and formats in order to encourage players to play and enjoy the game different ways.  This weekend we offer a few different formats:

1. Junior Fours:  A little tougher to find 3 partners than one, but indoor season just ended and this is a great chance to re-connect with your teammates.  It is also a good chance to introduce beach volleyball to someone who is on the fence.  We offer 3 different age groups, but there is always the chance that age groups will be consolidated based on numbers of teams entered.

2. Parent/Child Doubles: This is truly an experimental division!  Initially the idea was to give dads a chance to play with their daughters the weekend before Father's Day -- especially given how many dads I see out there rooting for (not coaching) their daughters during doubles tournaments.  We decided to open it up to other combinations so we offer COED (Mom/Son or Dad/Daughter), MEN'S (Father/Son), and WOMEN'S (Mom/Daughter).  Since it is an experimental division, we do not know how many teams we will get and don't know what to expect.  We might end up having to combine them all, you never know.  The big question we have received on this division is "what about parent's membership?".  What we have decided here is to NOT require parent USAV membership.  If you do not have a membership, we will offer one-day coverage for $5.00, which you can take care of at check-in.

3. Boys Doubles (new): With the popularity of beach volleyball, our events have been filled with girls teams, leaving little room for boy's doubles teams.  We are limited in space at Alki Beach -- we barely squeezed 17 nets on the beach June 6th -- so we are adding boys to a few of our other dates in order to create more opportunities for them to play.

Remember to patronize Christo's on Alki, our official restaurant down there on the beach -- they give a 20% discount to participants and their families, but you have to bring them the coupon you pick up at check-in.
