Volleyball high hitters

With fast-paced moves and adrenalin-packed matches, the sand is set to fly as Watergate gets ready to host the UK’s best volleyball players in an epic summer showdown. Here’s who is joining us down on the shoreline court…

2&3 August

The Bello bros

When it comes to duos; they don't get more dynamic than the Bello brothers. Ranked No. 1 in the UK, Javier and Joaquin, have established themselves as a volleyball force to be reckoned with – up there in the top 50 teams in the world. Debuting on the volleyball scene in 2016, and now only at 23 years old, the brothers already boast six World Tour medals, Commonwealth bronze, four-straight British Championships, and a 5th place in their European Championship debut.

Power players

Alongside this powerful pair, Harry Jones – an experienced English international with plenty of silverware earned across the national and world stage – will be joining the roster. His accolades include winning the Weymouth Grand Slam, one of the most prestigious tournaments on the UK Beach Tour.

Representing the ladies, Martha Bullen will take her place on the female team with impressive national and international experience representing her country at many tournaments as a junior and beyond. And all the way from Aotearoa comes Alice Zeiman, a force to be reckoned with and gaining ground on the World beach volleyball scene. Currently representing the National New Zealand team, Alice Zeimann and her partner were one title away from qualifying for the Paris Olympics. Her accolades are coming 4th at the Commonwealth Games, and countless podium positions on the World Tour and Asian Championships.

More names will be announced in the coming weeks, but three things are certain: the calibre will be high, the talent will be unforgiving and the atmosphere will be electric.

Weekend action

With tournaments kicking off on Saturday, spectators are invited to watch the high-octane action unfold over the weekend of 2&3 August, with professional commentators, good tunes, low-slung deck chairs and volleyball-based activities throughout the weekend.

Alongside the court action, Friday will see Deep Dish Beach volleyball offering ‘give it a go’ sessions to local schools and colleges. And on Friday and Sunday, anyone who would like to try their hand at the sport can book a free learn-and-play session with the coaches.
