Athlete Selection Procedures
The sport of beach volleyball does not require tryouts to be held.
According to the selection procedures provided above, team rankings are based on a points system.
The BEACH VOLLEYBALL program has been dropped from the 4th PanAmDes Games due to not having at least 3 countries. (Posted 17 June 2007)
The cut-off date for 2009 Summer Deaflympics will be determined after budget requirements are developed by USADSF's Games Preparation Committee.
