Bradford Beach will once again be at the center of the beach volleyball in United States with the return of Jose Cuervo Pro Beach Volleyball Series Milwaukee Shootout, August 3-5.
The Milwaukee Shootout is pro beach volleyball’s version of the All Star game. The top four men’s and women’s professional beach volleyball teams from the previous four Series stops (Florida Open, Belmar Open, Chicago Open and Hermosa Beach Open) will be competing in a skills competition on Friday evening, followed by a round-robin series of matches on Saturday and showcased by four semi-final and final matches on Sunday.
The men’s field includes 2011 Milwaukee Shootout champions Sean Scott and John Hyden who return to Bradford Beach to defend their title against the top teams on tour, including 7’2” Ryan Doherty, a relative newcomer to the sport but already winning three pro beach events in 2012.
On the women’s side, the #1 seeded team and four-time winners in 2012, Jenny Kropp and Whitney Pavlik will make their first appearance at Bradford Beach.
