The 2011 FIVB Beach Volleyball Junior World Championships starts today in Halifax, Nova Scotia and will run until September 4th. Canada was chosen to host this year's event due to Garret May and Sam Schachter winning the gold medal last year in Turkey. Garret is back this year with a new partner, Danny Demyanenko. On the women's side of the tournament, recent bronze medalists at the 2011 Canadian National Beach Volleyball Championship Melissa Humana-Paredes and Victoria Altomare are also in Halifax with a direct main draw entry. Due to Canada hosting as well as previous finishes, every Canadian team on the men's and women's side of the tournament will begin in the main draw. Main Draw action starts on September 1st. Check out the links below for live streaming video information.

So it's a little unfortunate that two of the three Canadian men's teams are in the same pool. Hopefully they can both make it out of pool play and into the first round of elimination. Other than that, I'm excited that Canada has the 1 seed for both the men's and the women's side of the tournament. Looks like beach volleyball is coming together nicely with our younger teams.
