Hi beachvolleyfans,
weather was always a difficult subject in Luxembourg, but this year it seems to be even worse. But perhaps it's a good sign for the summer that we don't have high temperatures in April and May.
Nevertheless, even here in Luxembourg, some motivated teams are already training for some weeks now on the sand and this year they will have some competitive advantage over the teams with less motivation to get their feet cold on the wet sand.
The tournament list for 2013 is now quite complete - please refer to the calendar page - and the first one - a 3x3 Mixed and 4x4 Hobby in Cessange, organized by the club of VC Bonnevoie is only 1 week away. Good news that finally there is a club ready to start the tournament season in May, helping extend the duration of the season that has been quite short for the last years.
As usually, the tournament calendar in Luxembourg is very full from beginning of June to mid august and hopefully for the organizers, the weather god will have some pity, sending sunny weather for the weekends.
Beside these tournaments on the luxemburgish amateur level, there will be two other events, this year, worth to be noticed.
First, Luxembourg will be organizer of the Games of the Small States of Europe (GSSE) from 27th May to 1st June 2013. The Beachvolleyball competition will be held at the area of Coque in Kirchberg, as most of other disciplines. And as it will be the last GSSE for the luxemburgish team Grethen - Zambon, it would be great to give them big support as a home team. As well as to the men's team Angelsberg - Belhaouci, the 2013 GSSE being the first big tournament for Ben and Djamel.
Then, beginning of July, from the 1st to 7th, the Beachvolleyball World Championship will be held at Stare Jablonki in Poland. A lot of changes in team compositions will probably lead to a very undecided championship, with some surprising results and with a new world ranking order still in move. For example will Todd Rogers align a former baseballplayer as his new partner without any experience in beachvolleyball!! More details coming in some weeks, but already notice that all games can be followed live and free on FIVB web TV.
That's all folks, for the moment. I wish you a very good start in the new season, a lot of success at the tournaments and most of all no injuries and a lot of fun with one of the greatest sports at all.
See you soon,
