Hosted by Rucanor Jets Volleyball Club and with the support of Red Bull, Sportset and Edinburgh council this was the final ranking event in this year’s official Scottish Beach Volleyball Tour. The tour has been all round Scotland, starting in Portobello in June and going to St Andrews where Fife Council had provided funding for equipment and to allow the event to be held on two days. The Tour stayed in St Andrews for the inaugural King & Queen of the Beach, which proved very successful. It then moved further up the coast to Broughty Ferry (near Dundee) before crossing over to the west coast and Troon. |

Unfortunately the organisers of the Grampian Open, which was planned for 13th September 2008, have decided not to run their inaugural event this year due to work commitments. Instead they plan to run it in 2009 and are looking forward to being able to dedicate enough time next year to put on a great event. If anyone has already entered this event, please contact the SVA Office for a refund. Also, the forthcoming East Lothian Open will now not be in East Lothian, but at Portobello instead on both the 6th and 7th September. The format will be the same as last year with Men’s and Women’s Division One and Two plus Junior 2-a-side events and mixed 4-a-side being held on the Saturday only. For those who want 2 days of beach volleyball, there is also the opportunity to play in the mixed 2-a-side event on the Sunday. |
 It may not have been that sunny but the enthusiasm shone through at the junior sessions at Glasgow River Festival. We've a few snaps with the kids in action at their first session. Click here for more beach photographs. |

It was the perfect Sunday morning down at South Beach Troon. 23 teams arrived to play in glorious sunshine with just a wee sea breeze. In Men’s Division I it was the perfect opportunity for some of the lower ranking players to make an impact as some of the usual big names and players were missing from the draw. |
