The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ SportsUnited Office, in conjunction with USA Volleyball, is sending 20 beach volleyball athletes – 10 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 14-18 along with three coaches – to Russia in August

The group will be hosted by the Russian Volleyball Federation and will visit both Moscow and Anapa.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor will also travel to Russia as a Sports Envoy and will guide the American and Russian players through beach volleyball clinics.

“The event will give several up and coming USA beach athletes a taste of international travel and training,” said Ali Wood Lamberson, USA Volleyball Director of International and Beach High Performance Programs. “We will be forging relationships with the Russian athletes and coaches, one of the top emerging countries on the international beach scene, and exposing them to beach volleyball USA style.”

This group will include Dr Scott Stover, the director of 692, as one of the coaches, as well as Ashley Prince and Mackenzie Moore. Ashley and Mackenzie have played for 692 for three years and we are very excited to have these three as part of the delegation to represent the USA.
