4th Annual Beach Volleyball Classic Set for MLK Weekend

For the fourth year in a row, Myrtle Beach will host a three-day indoor beach volleyball classic, which was expected to draw more than 100 participants on Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Organized by Grand Strand Juniors Volleyball Club with cooperation from the Beach Ball Classic organizers, the 4th Annual Myrtle Beach Volleyball Classic will once again kick off this coming January 15-17 at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center.

Approximately 150 of the finest female beach volleyball teams from six different states are set to compete in a number of age group tournaments, starting from the 12-under category up to 18-under. Grand Strand Juniors member Alex Sing is expecting a fierce competition among participants this year, as several teams feature blue chip prospects on their lineup.

"The competition will be great," Sing told WMBF News.com Saturday. "Many of these girls play club volleyball in hopes of getting college scholarships."

The 2011 Myrtle Beach Volleyball Classic is sanctioned by USA volleyball and a part of the Palmetto Region's tournament schedule.
