Robbie Page Named AVP's Best Server
UCLA's Robbie Page was named Best Server by The AVP (Association of Volleyball Professionals) Pro Beach Volleyball Tour which announced its year-end award winners this week, recognizing the top performers from the 2015 season. Page made an indelible impression on the competition in his first full season on Tour, serving 66 aces in just 64 games and topping all men with a 1.06 aces/game average.
The year-end honors were awarded based on statistics, player votes and points earned during the 2015 tour season. Ten players were nominated in the categories of best defensive player, best blocker and best server, based on statistics (blocks, digs and aces recorded per set, with a minimum of 30 sets played to qualify for the category), with the winner being chosen by votes cast by active AVP players.
The AVP tour continued to flourish in 2015 with the enhanced seven-event tour schedule, including the AVP’s first-ever event in Manhattan (N.Y.) and its long-awaited returns to New Orleans, Seattle and Chicago. With its end-of-season awards, the AVP honors the beach volleyball veterans and newcomers that have helped elevate the level of competition enjoyed by fans across the country in 2015.
