With the Summer Games less a week away, members of the US Olympic Beach Volleyball team bumped in some last-minute practice by spiking a few rounds on Coney’s famous white sands in the AVP Pro Volleyball Crocs Tour.
The world-famous beach provided an Olympic-worthy cushion for buff-bodied participants in the third annual AVP Brooklyn Open, which kicked off with a qualifying round and continued through the weekend as the cream of the nation’s volleyball crop pancaked, attacked and vied their way to the finals.
Phil Dalhousser and Todd Rogers won their eighth title of the season in the men’s group.
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh continued their dominant run by clinching their 17th consecutive women’s title at the Brooklyn open.
