BACKAt the end of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, we were fortunate that the Auckland Secondary Schools and North Harbour Championships were held and our pairs could compete on the sand. This led to many of our pairs playing in junior or senior competitions.
It was great to see that beach volleyball is still growing in popularity and that so many new players are taking to the sand. All pairs had trained hard to prepare for these competitions and, as always, played each game to the best of their ability, with a great positive attitude.
The results are as follows:
Auckland Championships
Senior Boys
Ryan Jefferson & Juan Carlos Quintero – Silver
