Volleyball England Beach Tour (VEBT) 2008

Welcome to the 2008 edition of the Volleyball England Beach Tour! VEBT Logo

Now entering its third full year, the VEBT is continuing to grow and develop substantially and is laying a solid foundation for the development of Beach Volleyball in England.

This year, the VEBT will continue to strive to:

Maximise participation at all levels of play;
Provide opportunities for high level competition; and
Engage new, existing and previous tournament promoters.

With these core objectives in mind, the 2008 VEBT will feature:

Multiple divisions of play at all tournaments where entry levels permit;
A record amount of prize money throughout the season;
The growth and permanent establishment on the VEBT of a) tournaments that made their debut on the English beach volleyball scene in the last two years and b) those tournaments that have been around for much longer;

We are also very excited and pleased to announce our first ever VEBT sponsors (brokered by Beach Volleyball UK Ltd). Blue Wahoo, manufacturers of extreme sports clothing, have joined the VEBT as Official Kit Suppliers and will be supplying the VEBT with all player, referee and staff clothing and uniforms.

As an Olympic summer, this summer promises to be a very exciting one, but also a historic one for English beach volleyball, as we host the country’s first ever FIVB event when the SWATCH FIVB Under-21 World Championships come to Brighton on 3-7 September 2008. A few days later, Blackpool will welcome the ‘English Masters’ tournament, which will be held on 11-14 September 2008 and will be a part of the Nestea European Championships Tour.
