Women get beach tour
A new domestic pro beach volleyball tour for women was formed last week, the brainchild of San Diego entrepreneur Charlie Jackson. The Beach Volleyball America Tour tentatively is scheduled to hold seven events in California in 2000, including one in Hermosa Beach June 10-11. Women beach volleyball players haven't had a regular U.S. tour since the WPVA dissolved in the spring of 1998.
