Wrapping the Season

What a summer! It ended with a it of a fizzle, unfortunately. We were supposed to play the EVP event in Phoenix last weekend, but Loric came down with a case of strep the day before, so we had to bag it. Too bad, as it seemed like a good event, but no worries, we had plenty of playing and will have plenty more. Here's some of the highlights from 2006:
  • Competing in four states (Arizona; California; Colorado; New Mexico)
  • We competed in fifteen tournaments with Ten First Place Finishes.
  • Undefeated record in New Mexico in all eight tournaments.
  • The first team from outside of Colorado to win a CPVA open event, by winning the AVP Next Rocky Mountain Regional Championship.
  • During a month when Loric had to be in Phoenix, he teamed with another partner to win the VAO AVP Next Brick Open in Prescott, AZ. During that same time, Adam teamed with a Denver player to finish 4th in the prestigious King of the Mountain event in Vail, CO.
  • Two trips to California to play the nations toughest competition. Top finish was a 13th place out of 43 teams in the Pro CBVA Bud Light Premier Tour stop in Hermosa Beach, CA.
  • Competing against various AVP teams including the 2006 Rookie of the Year.
  • Conducted Beach Volleyball clinics in Albuquerque to help build participants skill level and interest in the sport.
  • Lots, and lots of fun.
I'll be getting up more on off-season training and plans for 2007 soon!
