She was only subbing in for an injured athlete. I think they placed last though 😶 I wondered if she had the passing skills to play beach.....guess not.

Out of topic, but Besides (not so recent at all) Kerri Walsh Jennings I don’t think there are any recent indoor to beach transfers.

A few Chinese NT players had a short stint playing beach before. Zhang Changning (2011 U19 Beach Volleyball World Championship, 3rd Place) Yan Ni (?) Zheng Yixin (2013 Asian Beach Volleyball Championship)

Not very recent either, but Sarah Pavan seem to have a successful transition to the beach. She had a great NCAA career with Nebraska before that. She and Humana-Paredes won gold medals at the 2019 Beach Volleyball World Championships. Logan Tom also tried beach of course but the results were not as successful.

Does Sarah Sponcil count too?

Does Sarah Sponcil count too? The UCLA grad? Maybe...although she already played beach as a college student, so does she count as transitioning from indoor to beach?

Alix Klineman, April Ross, Crissy Jones, falyn fonoimoana, Brittany Howard, Kelly Reeves, Carly Wopat, Sarah Sponcil, Karissa Cook, Emily Hartong, Sarah Pavan, Margaret Kozuch to name a few!

Will growing tensions between the USA and China prevent our ladies from playing here this season?

Will growing tensions between the USA and China prevent our ladies from playing here this season? I hope not. Would love to see Larson, Robinson, and Dixon playing there again!

Brazilian Paula Pequeno and Mari Steinbrecher announced their transition to the beach last year (https://volleyballmag.com/mari-paula-113019/). They had plans to play together, but with the coronavirus situation they decided to split and find experienced beach volleybal players to partner with.

Brazil’s beach volleyball players always play partner shuffle at the end of the season. Besides the two teams of each gender locked into the Olympics, everyone will probably shuffle again.
