Steve Obradovich is reviving fours beach volleyball in the United States with the Newport Beach Volleyball Invitational on October 21st. It features a star-studded field of both players and sponsors alike, with the teams being:
- Taylor Crabb, Taylor Sander, Nick Lucena and Alex Ranghieri;
- Sean Rosenthal, Jake Gibb, Miles Partain, and Andy Benesh
- Troy Field, Casey Patterson, Chase Frishman, and Brenden Sander
- For the women, the teams are Kelly Cheng, Sarah Sponcil, Toni Rodriguez, and Emily Stockman
- Betsi Flint, Alix Klineman, Carli Lloyd, Julia Scoles, and Megan Rice
- Savvy Simo, Zana Muno, Carly Skjodt, Kylie Deberg, and Amy Ozee.
On this episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, we chatted all about Obradovich’s story as a player – the Bad Boy as he was known – why Obradovich is putting on this tournament, with $2,000 appearance fees for every player, and how this is a beta test for a potential fours beach volleyball league, with franchises, drafts, general managers, the whole nine.
This episode could not have been more fun.
