Talk to any successful beach volleyball player and they’ll tell you about the importance of building up a near-telepathic relationship with their partner. However, when your partner is also your twin brother, that sort of relationship can pretty much be taken for granted.
Luciano Andrade & David Rijvers was celebrating success last yesterday winning the 2016 All Stars Beach Volleyball Finals held at Broom Road, Teddington Recreation Ground.
The All Stars Finals is the penultimate end of the season event aimed for the top 10 teams from the RVB Summer 2v2 Series to be crowned “Champion”. Players received entry from competing in the weekly Sunday Series tournaments run throughout the summer where players accumulate points and ranking points for All Stars.
Richmond VB held London’s 4th Junior Beach Volleyball Championships (Rising Stars) last Sunday at Teddington SC. It was a great success and saw top pairings show off their growing talent and excellent beach skills. The pairs were competing for the top spot in 2 age categories (u14 & 18 boys and girls).
Richmond VB would like to thank everyone for helping to raise £777.70 funds for British Heart Foundation making the Mixed 4’s Beach Summer Slamdown Festival a great success – in particular, to all the teams and to volunteers who helped out in various capacities on the day.
This event was a sell out and broke all fundraising records. We look forward to welcoming back all volleyball participants and seeing new team entries for 2017.
Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Richmond Volleyball players Javier and Joaquin Bello who represented England and travelled to Czech Republic last weekend for the 2016 CEV U18 Beach Volleyball European Championship to secure a place in the quarter-finals. The best ever position for England in any CEV event.
