mingle with some of the world’s best players, getting their autographs
and taking selfies. On Saturday Jurmala will also host the festival for
the official opening of the summer season in Latvia’s most popular
seaside and holiday resort; the festival includes an extensive cultural
and entertainment programme that will please Beach Volleyball fans and
all other visitors.
Latvia’s Beach Volleyball hero Aleksandrs Samoilovs, who is a native of Jurmala, says: “I invite everyone to attend the Jurmala Masters. It will be an opportunity to have a great time with friends or family by the sea in a positive atmosphere, enjoying an athletic show!”
The invitation to attend the tournament is extended not only to Beach Volleyball fans, but also to those who have never been to a Beach Volleyball competition before – the organisers have provided various forms of entertainment. There will be sponsor contests and events, as well as various activities for children. The crowd will be encouraged to participate in various dances and motions to cheer the players on.
