Urban Beach Tour 2008
| The Urban Beach Tour has been successfully established over the last 3 years as major part of the annual UK Beach Volleyball calendar. Each year the tour involves events across the UK and stars guest players from the European and World Tour. The Urban Beach Tour has been recognised as a key showcase event for the sport of Beach Volleyball which will build awareness and improve the standards of UK players. The programme has been timetabled to facilitate the involvement of European and World Tour players as part of the Professional tournament of the programme with world ranked men's and women's pairs competing. The Urban Beach Tour provides a catalyst and incentive for UK players to significantly improve their UK and European rankings. The centre piece of the programme will be the UK Urban Beach Grand Prix involving the top four UK men's pairs and top four UK women's pairs. |

| The sport is fantastically entertaining from beginning to end with the court, a stage and the players acting upon it. Beach Volleyball has enjoyed impressive growth throughout the world in recent years and under the auspices of the FIVB (Federation Internationale de Volleyball) the sport has become the most popular world summer sport. | |
