Kish Island, Iran, February 18, 2017 – Beach volleyball athletes showed the basics of the sport to local kids during the #VolleyballYourWay camp organised before the start of the semifinals at the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour Kish Island 3-Star on Saturday.
Iranian beach volleyball players together with Belgian internationals Dries Koekelkoren and Tom Van Walle joined in, providing the kids with a wonderful experience and inspiring them to play the sport. And perhaps most importantly imparting a philosophy that beach volleyball is more than a sport and also a way of life.
Over 50 kids played with their idols on centre court and their response to beach volleyball was phenomenal.Belgian internationals Dries Koekelkoren and Tom Van Walle surrounded by their young Iranian fans on centre court
