Volleyball inspired by : Salvador Dalí
During the 1940's & Gala spent many of their winters in California . We know he worked with Walt Disney & Alfred Hitchcock. What few knew is that Dali formed the first STILT VOLLEYBALL team with many of his models.

Coach David Mckienzie on USA Men's & Woman Indoor Volleyball Fan Zone

Q & A With David Mckienzie –

David what are you doing now?
“I am starting sand volleyball up in Palo Alto Area called Sand Volleyball Academy with my good friend Daniele Desiderio. We will be focusing on that this summer. Daniele is an amazing and very experienced player, in A1 since 15 with Sisley treviso, won champions league, top teams cup, Italian cup, Italian championship, etc. He is really well decorated. He will be my partner for AVP this year; also he is getting his Green Card.

What made you change over to beach?
“I really enjoy beach, it's a new challenge. It's completely different than indoor. All the responsibility is on you. It's really more like an individual sport than a team sport. I love how hard you have to grind and how deep you have to dig to succeed. It really makes you put it all out there and winning points out there is so satisfying”

For your fans, where or what pages/links should they follow to keep up with you?
