Action-Packed Professional Volleyball Tournament Returns
to Daniel Island
AVP Charleston Open to be held May 15-18, 2008

CHARLESTON, S.C. -- The AVP Charleston Open, South Carolina's only professional beach volleyball event and Charleston's largest beach party of the year, returns May 15th - 18th, 2008 to Daniel Island. Over 150 top players, including a host of US Olympic gold medalists and the biggest superstars of the game, will battle for a total purse of $200,000 in men's and women's competition.

Once again, the island’s Family Circle Tennis Center will be transformed into beachfront property as over 1,500 tons of pristine white PGA Bunker quality sand will be trucked in to create five world-class volleyball courts spread out over the 32-acre facility. This award-winning tennis facility will be become a volleyball paradise showcasing the premier matches and off-court activities throughout the four-day event.

The best professional beach volleyball athletes play on the AVP Crocs Tour, and they'll all compete in the 2008 AVP Charleston Open, an event that AVP CEO & Commissioner Leonard Armato has said “has the potential to become one the Tour's flagship events”. The 2007 AVP Charleston Open women's champions Misty-May Treanor and Kerri Walsh, as well men's champions Stein Metzger and Mike Lambert, will headline the field as they defend their titles against a stellar field of challengers looking to make their mark at this prestigious tournament.

Qualifying rounds are free to attend, and tickets options for main draw action will include weekend packages and individual session sales.
