Aussies gear up for latest stop on Beach Volleyball Series
St Kilda, Australia, January 31, 2012 – Australian beach volleyball is set to heat up this weekend as St Kilda gets ready to host round four of the Renault National Beach Volleyball Series (NBVS).
After a four-year absence, the circuit returns to St Kilda for the next two rounds, offering fans a chance to catch some of Australia’s top players such FIVB Beach Volleyball SWATCH World Tour regulars Olympic champion Natalie Cook and partner Tamsin Hinchley as well as Becchara Palmer and Louise Bawden.
Cook, who recently won round three with Hinchley, said the Renault NBVS is an ideal competition to launch her bid to compete in an unprecedented fifth Olympic Games.
“It is an exciting time for beach volleyball in Australia, to be back on the Aussie beaches around the country is important not only to the athletes as we prepare for London 2012, but for the Aussie sports culture,” said the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games gold medallist. “The sport continues to grow with lots of young kids wanting to play our sport, and the Renault NBVS will provide role models and the pathway for them to do so.”
St Kilda will host two rounds of the 2011/12 series, the fourth round beginning on February 3 and the fifth returning on February 17.
The centre court and surrounding precinct will be a fusion of sport and entertainment and will include an opening ceremony, live bands, DJ’s, celebrity matches and evening music performances accompanied by interactive activation zones and chill out areas.
Major sponsor Renault will also give away a Renault Mégane Coupé-Cabriolet convertible valued at over $50,000 to one lucky spectator who guesses the correct number of beach volleyballs in the vehicle on display at the events.
In addition to Renault, fellow series sponsor Garnier Australia will provide sampling throughout the event, and spectator engagement through their unique and popular activation zones.
