A TALE OF TWO BEACHES: PRO VOLLEYBALL LEAGUES HAVE DIFFERENT APPROACHES
espnW covered the 2014 Hermosa Beach Championships and the NVL’s differing approach from the AVP in an article examining the growth of beach volleyball. espnW captured the essence of the NVL tour – laid-back, welcoming and intimate – which was the vision of NVL’s CEO & co-founder, AL-B Hannemann, when he established the league in 2010.

Hannemann sees an opportunity to develop the kids, not only as athletes, but to provide them with an education.
