Beach Volleyball An Olympic sport since 1996 Quick Links :BVB History Our volleyball season does not end after the May madness at Nationals!  Many of our players take to the beach in summer months, playing in competitive Beach Volleyball tournaments held on most weekends across Ontario.  Our players have had great success in past beach seasons, winning multiple Ontario and National championships. Although volleyball is one of the five most popular sports in the world (source: FiVB), Beach Volleyball (or Beach as it is known) is a recent addition that is quickly growing in profile.   Introduced at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Canada had a fantastic start, with the team of John Child and Mark Heese winning the first beach bronze medal.  Other notable Canadian finishes include Guylaine Dumont and Annie Martin placing 5th in Athens in 2004, along side Child & Heese on the mens side. Both of these beach teams have had an influence on Durham Attack players, with John Child teaching our Durham Attack U12 girls, and our U14 girls teams meeting Guylaine Dumont at the Festival Interprovincial in Joliette in 2005. John Child teaches U12 team U14 Attack Red Hawks with Guylaine Dumont Attack Summer Camps Durham Attack teaches both indoor and beach skills at its successful summer volleyball camps.   Solstice Sport Many of our players practice twice per week with Solstice Sport.  There are still be a few spots left in Solstice's Elite Beach program for summer 2008, for girls and boys.  Contact Mark Reilly (416-829-5557) for more info.   U16 U14 U18 Provincials U14
