The National Volleyball League will make the fifth stop of its pro beach volleyball tour in Hermosa Beach starting Friday. The tournament, which will take place on the beach just south of the Hermosa Beach pier, features 16 elite men’s and women’s teams competing for $50,000 in prize money. The tournament begins Friday afternoon and runs through Sunday afternoon. Organizers said they are excited to set up camp in a city known for its contribution to the beach volleyball sport. “We always look forward to our Hermosa Beach tournament because of the tremendous support we get from the community,” said NVL Founder and CEO Albert Hannemann. “Many of our players have trained and competed on these beaches for years and feel at home here in Hermosa.” The 16-court volleyball tournament is free to attend and open to the public. More information on the weekend’s events can be found on the National Volleyball League’s website.
