SANDCAST is giving back to the beach volleyball community it loves

The idea began, fittingly enough, sometime around Christmas, the giving season. The podcast that Tri Bourne and I host, SANDCAST, was doing well in its first month, far better than we expected it to be doing at the time.

Before we had even hit our 10th episode, we had featured the two best players in the world in their respective genders in April Ross and Phil Dalhausser, as well as the best player from his native country in Chaim Schalk. The feedback we received was great.

We wondered if we could do more.

I forget what podcast I listened to on Christmas morning –- I, alongside my dog, am an early riser, so I had about three hours to kill before anybody else was up –- but I do remember the premise: that the best thing a human being can do is give to another without expecting anything in return.

On SANDCAST, we had a platform, though in its nascent stages, we lacked funding to give athletes anything more than a microphone in which to talk and the freedom to discuss whatever they wanted. But still, over the month of January, we discussed starting a SANDCAST Scholarship for college players, and the ideas were well and good, and all of us –- Tri, VolleyballMag.com editor Lee Feinswog, and I –- agreed that we wanted to do something along those lines.

We just needed to figure out a way to do it.
