Officials with the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals men’s beach tour are planning to start a women’s division this season, a move that could jeopardize the future of the Women’s Professional Volleyball Assn. tour.
The AVP is attempting to sign eight of the top WPVA players to six-year contracts. Sources said the contracts are worth $20,000 to $40,000 per player, depending on their ranking.
AVP President Jon Stevenson said no decision has been made, but added that a tour announcement could come as early as Monday.
Six of the WPVA’s top 11 money-winners are expected to sign with the AVP, including fourth-ranked Angela Rock, a former Olympian and El Toro High standout, and sixth-ranked Cammy Ciarelli of Huntington Beach.
