    This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Switzerland's Anouk Verge-Depre and Joana Mader, a trailblazing team who won a European Championship, Olympic bronze medal, and pioneered an era of Swiss dominance, which now includes Nina Brunner and Tanja Huberli, and Esmee Bobner and Zoe Verge-Depre.

    • How Anouk switched both sides and positions so seamlessly
    • What it was like to help Switzerland become such a power in the beach volleyball world
    • What the future looks like for Switzerland beach volleyball

  • Matt Levoe: A Ref's Guide to Beach Volleyball
    Oct 23 2024

    This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, features Matt Levoe, one of the most respected referees in the game of beach volleyball and also the first ref we’ve had on since John Rodriguez quite some time ago. It was a much-needed episode, as we chatted:

    • The never-ending, constantly revolving debate around calling doubles and lifts. How do refs call it, and how has it changed in recent years?
    • Why would anyone in their right mind want to become a referee?
    • Troy Fields catch and release joust, and other nuanced rules of the game
    • Adapting between reffing indoor and beach, professional and college

    And so much more. This is a fully comprehensive discussion on the rules and how the sport of volleyball and beach volleyball is called.
