We are back in Halifax for the FIVB Junior World Championships. We have five women's and four men's teams representing Canada including half of last year's women's silver medallist team with Melissa Humana-Paredes back in Halifax. From the FIVB press release:
The world championship event will be held through Sunday (Sept. 2) at the purpose-built beach volleyball complex on the Salter Lot of the Halifax Waterfront. This is the not only the second time in the event’s 12-year history that it is being held in North America, but also the second straight year in Halifax.
Gathered in Halifax for this year’s event are 81 teams (41 men and 40 women) from 34 countries. With 32 teams in each gender qualified into their respective main draws, the additional teams for each gender are reserve teams if needed to complete the respective 32-team fields. This is the first time in event history that a 32-team main draw field is being used for the competition.
The 32 teams will be divided into eight four-team pools for round-robin play of three matches per team. The women will begin with two rounds on Wednesday and one on Thursday, while the men will have two rounds on Thursday and one on Friday.
The top three teams in each pool (24 total) will advance to the single-elimination bracket phase of the tournament. The women will begin their single elimination phase with two rounds on Friday followed by the women’s quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday. Men will play their first elimination round on Friday, followed by the second round and quarterfinals on Saturday and the semifinals on Sunday morning.
The event is run as Sand Jam Halifax with tickets being sold on the Sand Jam Halifax website. Also on the website, you can download the Sand Jam mobile app to follow along with match results, news and more. Team list below.

The second stop on the 2012 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour for the men is in Myslowice, Poland this week. Just like last week in Brazil, we have five men's teams competing in this leg of the tour. None of the men's teams have enough entry points to gain direct access to the main draw this week so they will all have to go through the country quota go get into the qualification round. There are only five teams so only one match will have to be played. Like last week, it is another matchup between Zbyszewski-Schalk and Van Huizen-May.

It's time to go back to the beach! The first event of the 2012 FIVB Swatch Beach Volleyball World tour kicks off this week in Brasilia, Brazil. This dual gender event sees nine Canadian teams competing. After last year, we have a bunch of partner switches on our men's teams. Maverick Hatch and Sam Schachter as well as Ben Saxton and Christian Redmann are the only two teams remaining together from the 2011 season. Rich Van Huizen will be playing with Garret May this season. May will be playing in his first Men's World Tour event after placing 4th at FIVB Junior Worlds last year and 1st in 2010. Returning to the World Tour this year is Matt Zbyszewski (Matty Z). Matty played in five events in 2010 with Josh Binstock, but didn't compete last year. Matty will be partnering this season with Chaim Schalk. Each men's team will have to compete in the country quota in order to get into the qualification round.
The Canadian women's teams do not have to play in the CQ. Four teams will compete in the tournament with Elizabeth Maloney and Heather Bansley getting direct entry into the main draw. Recent Canadian Champions Kacie MacTavish and Julie Rodrigue join Marie-Andree Lessard and Annie Martin as well as Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas in the qualification round. Broder and Valjas did play the last event of the season (Phuket, Thailand) together in 2011, but competed with different partners for the others.

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.
