Why is beach volleyball your sport of choice? I have played volleyball my entire life and once I was introduced to Beach volleyball, I fell in love with the sport.

Favorite pro player? Why? Kerri Walsh– She is a role model to women across the country. She presents herself on and off the court with such professionalism and
