We are quickly approaching summer. Everything is thawing out and warming up. Teams are forming, hitting the ground running, and playing in real life tournaments. We’re stoked for all that’s to come, and happy that the AVP athletes are one step closer to being back on the sand, on our screens, and in our cities.
Let’s check in on a few of them and see what they’re doing – both volleyball and otherwise – leading up to the much anticipated 2021 season.
