News from the National Federations

Tallinn, Estonia, June 16, 2020. After the local Volleyball family had to weather difficult times in the spring following the coronavirus outbreak, the summer and more specifically Beach Volleyball competitions have started with a bang in Estonia, breaking participation records in both the youth Cup tournaments and Estonian Grand Prix.

Last week, there were as many as 230 pairs competing in different youth Estonian Cup tournaments. The U16 competition recorded the most impressive numbers, with 50 and 33 teams featuring in the events designed for girls and boys, respectively. The U14 event featured 61 pairs fighting for the medals (40 girls’ teams, plus 21 in the boys’ tournament); 56 pairs signed up for the U18 competition (29 pairs of girls and 27 of boys), and another 30 competed in the U20 event (18 and 12 for girls and boys, respectively).

All competitions had a limit of 100 attendees due to the safety measures adopted to curb the spread of the novel virus, so they took place in different courts and at different times.
