Any list
of websites related to the fan site I have built for Misty and Kerri
must necessarily begin with the very impressive and comprehensive
website that the Federation
Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB)
has put together for volleyball enthusiasts of every stripe, not just
for beach volleyball. It is clearly the best source of
information -- and up-to-date pictures -- for international beach volleyball, and thus also the best
source of information for the exciting international exploits of Misty May and Kerri
Walsh over the last couple of years. I'm sure they will continue
their excellent work during the Olympic games as well. Thank you FIVB! |

This
is where you will find the FIVB's always excellent and up-to-date results
for Beach Volleyball during the Athens Olympics |

The
website for the Association of Volleyball
Professionals (AVP) is absolutely essential for following the national beach
volleyball tour, again at several levels. It is not as
comprehensive as the FIVB
site on the international scene, but nevertheless very helpful.
The website recently underwent a serious face lift. It's now a
much more aesthetically pleasing site, but I'm disappointed at how
cumbersome it is for getting up-to-the-minute results. The
formerly sometimes raucous Forum has, mostly unfortunately, been
replaced by a rather staid AVP
Message Board. |

The Beach
Volleyball Database has an incredible wealth of information about
Beach Volleyball, all of it conveniently searchable -- whether by team,
by individual, by season, by tournaments, all-time records, rankings,
tour news from both the FIVB and AVP, not to mention a great time-line
of beach volleyball's
history. You name it, they have it. As great examples,
see the career summaries for both Misty
and Kerri.
Great stuff! |

The
official Beach Volleyball pages of the 2004
Athens Olympics website. I assume this will be the best place
to go for up-to-the-minute updates for all Beach Volleyball action
during the Olympics. |

Golden
Girls A very aesthetically pleasing site put
together -- as was this site -- right around the time that Misty and
Kerri began their triumphal march toward the gold in Athens. I
have liberally borrowed some truly excellent videos,
which are kindly available from this website. Many thanks to
Misty Flores, the site's creator. |

A relatively new but interesting
and well-done website. I would especially recommend the excellent
interviews it features with Chris
Marlowe, Albert
Hannemann, and Dennis
Wagner (who is the guy behind the excellent Beach
Volleyball Database website). |

"SANDS OF TIME"
is a complete history of Men's and Women’s beach volleyball, including
its roots that began with the indoor game. According to the
marketing blurb in the Beach
Volleyball Database, it's the book that volleyball players and fans
have been waiting for! This is the first book that has been devoted
primarily to the history of BEACH VOLLEYBALL! There are 272 pages of
beach volleyball stories and anecdotes, along with tournament results.
The book includes nearly 500 photographs of the events, venues and
players of BEACH VOLLEYBALL. Read for example the following
fascinating excerpt from Chapter 2 entitled SANTA
MONICA CALIFORNIA 1900's. Be sure also to check out
VolleyballBooks.net, where you can purchase "SANDS OF TIME"
and other books about beach volleyball online.

Shotfile was recently featured on
the Beach
Volleyball Database. Shotfile was founded by Carl
Schneider, the former photo editor of Volleyball Magazine (which
explains the high number of volleyball shots here). Carl recognized an
opportunity to provide a better way of showing his work. By entering all
of the images in a searchable database and key-wording each image with
the athlete's name, event name, and other important info, it is now
possible for users to easily find the photos they are looking for.
Some great pix of Misty and Kerri are available. |
