Reprinted from FIVB WebsitePapete, Tahiti, November 27, 2012 – In what promises to be
an exciting seven days of beach volleyball in Tahiti, the 2012 Oceania
Beach Volleyball Championships will take place in Papete, Tahiti, from November
29 to December 5, 2012.
Beach Volleyball has strong support as participating countries line up to
compete in both the Under-17 and Open Age Tournaments.
The men’s and women’s home teams are definitely keen to please their vocal
local supporters, especially in the Open Age Beach Volleyball tournament. But
the barwill be placed high in the women’s competition with the
participation of the Vanuatu ladies fresh from their silver medal success in
the AVC Beach Volleyball Championships in Haikou, China.
On the men’s side, all eyes will be on the Australian and Fijian teams who have
proved to be formidable opponents in previous competitions. The Under 17
tournament will also be keenly contested with both Australia and New Zealand
sending strong teams to test the best of the Pacific.
Linline Maauatu and Miller Elwin from Vanuatu will take part in the Oceania Beach Volleyball Championships in TahitiNMIVA Note: Due to
extremely high travel costs, the NMI, Guam and several other countries were
unable to commit to participating in this year's event. We wish all the
participants able to attend a very successful tournament!
