The week in the sands of the world
Another week is gone and that means that the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Hamburg 2019 presented by comdirect and ALDI Nord is one week closer.
However, while late June doesn’t come, beach volleyball players continue perfecting their crafts around the planet and there’s a variety of opportunities for them to do it this week.
Join us on Beach Shorts and find out what we’re talking about!
German Tour kicks off in Münster
One of the most relevant national events of the beach volleyball world, the German Tour, starts this week at the city of Münster, the first of nine stops scheduled for 2019. Several of the country’s top teams, including Julia Sude/Karla Borger, Kim Behrens/Cinja Tillmann, Philipp Bergmann/Yannick Harms and Alexander Walkenhorst/Sven Winter are entered in the event.
