Feet in the Kalahari sand

The Timeout Beach Volleyball Series will continue on 22 and 23 September with the Kalahari Open.

This will be the fifth event in the series and it will take place at Tivoli Southern Sky Guest Farm. Namibia’s top volleyball athletes will battle it out on the court to see who will win the gold medals in various categories.

Games will be divided into 2-a-side Men’s, 2-a-side Ladies, 2-a-side Youth and 2-a-side Social. Winners of the Timeout Series event in July, the Interpack King of the Court; one v. one Champion Andriko Boeringer; Ladies Champions Maike van Doorn and Lara Luesse and Social Champions Martin Schurz andFlo Allers, will once again aim to go for gold at the tournament.

Organiser of the event, James Verrinder said, that in 2015, Kalahari dune sand had been special transported in to make three unique beach volleyball courts especially for this event.

“It took the Schreiber family (Reinhold, Kirsten, Dennis & Damian) 3 months to prepare for this event, with many tons of sand being transported from the nearby Kalahari dune” said James.

“This location was specially picked to complement the beach volleyball image; sun, sand and the great outdoors, which make this tournament one of the most unique beach volleyball tournament in the world” he said.
