A new league format on the U.S. beach volleyball tour is bringing a team concept to what has always been a two-person sport. Instead of competing for tournament titles, the AVP is combining a men’s and women’s pair into teams that will play for a spot in the season-ending championship. Teams also represent cities like in most traditional sports. Athletes say they’re excited about the new format. They hope the sport gets a bump as it prepares for the Olympics to return to the birthplace of beach volleyball in 2028.
