You can't get more Southern California than the Manhattan Beach Volleyball Open. (Well, not until they come up with the Los Angeles Yoga Open "the downward dog gets a 5.9 from the Ukrainian judge!") Since it began in 1960, the Manhattan Beach tournament has evolved from a bunch of barefoot kids spiking a ball around to an international marquee sporting event. The City of Manhattan Beach California also hosts women's pro beach volleyball and a variety of amateur competitions. www.citymb.info |
