International Volleyball Tournament Begins In Bridlington

Teams from Europe and the USA will all descend on Bridlington today to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bridlington Beach Volleyball tournament. 

The annual competition is taking place across the weekend with over 700 players from 120 teams competing. 

David Speers is the director of the tournament and he says that a lot of people have worked very hard to make sure the venue is ready. 

The tournament is aimed at all levels of player and is contested over two days, attracting competitors from all over the UK, Europe and returning for their second year, are five teams from the USA.

The players compete in mixed teams of four, with numerous countries previously represented, including competitors originally hailing from places such as Brazil, China, Japan, Chile, Australia, Hungary, Poland and even a current Rwandan International having all experienced the first-class location over the last couple of years.

The event is sponsored and supported by the Visit East Yorkshire events team and all the money raised is used to support junior players within the Yorkshire region. 

Director of the tournament, David Speers, says that Bridlington is the perfect location for the event.
