The AVP Crocs Tour will begin NBC coverage with eight live shows leading up to the network's coverage of the Olympic games. Volleyball enthusiasts and AVP Crocs Tour fans nationwide will have the chance to sample upcoming Olympic competition as NBC, the official US broadcast partner of the Olympics, will nationally air both the men's and women's AVP Crocs Tour finals from Boulder, Colo., Chicago, Ill., Brooklyn, N.Y., and Long Beach, Calif., featuring world class beach volleyball competition. Coverage begins on Saturday, July 5, at 3 p.m. ET.

"We are pleased to be able to share the AVP Crocs Tour with fans across the nation that have the opportunity to tune in and enjoy the excitement of our tournament finals live," said Leonard Armato, CEO and Commissioner of the AVP Crocs Tour. "We are very proud to work with the athletes that will be taking part in the Olympics and look forward to having them continue to compete on tour. The live broadcasts of the AVP Crocs Tour finals will highlight the intense competitions taking place all summer long on the AVP Crocs Tour and preview the level of competition fans can expect from Beijing."

The star-studded AVP on NBC broadcast team is made up of Olympic broadcast veteran Chris Marlowe alongside beach volleyball's winningest player, three-time gold medalist and AVP Crocs Tour legend Karch Kiraly, in the booth. Marlowe and Kiraly will be joined by 14-year AVP veteran Mike Dodd and sideline reporter Heather Cox on the sand.
