Turner doesn't have to worry about going through such trouble any longer. In fact, no one has a better view of beach volleyball matches than he does. That's because he's a player, a member of the BVA Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The BVA's first tour date of the season is set for Clearwater Beach this weekend. Tournament play will be held throughout today, located at the Pier 60 South Courts beginning at 8 a.m.
All matches are open to the public and free.
I've got everyone staying at my house tonight - all my friends and the players. So Turner began to play in open tournaments. When he won a couple of tournament titles, he turned more serious. This season marks Turner's first year as a pro after playing for three years up and down the East Coast as an amateur, competing in open tournaments. Instead of a six-person squad, teams in the BVA tour use two people.
