The AVP volleyball tour has its share of partnerships
and break ups and some are for trying new chemistry
and other times it is for starting a family.

Womens AVP star Rachel Wacholder took off a majority
of the 2009 tour to have a baby and start a family.

Coming back is always tough especially in one of the toughest
and most competitive volleyball leagues in the world especially
when you have to start with a new partner and establish a
chemistry for winning.

of time working out and training off the court.

Rachels bio goes as follows:

appearances since the start of 2005.

Scott and Elaine Youngs won three tournaments during the 2005
season: the Cincinnati Open, the Huntington Beach Open and the
Boulder Open. In winning the AVP Cincinnati Open, Scott and 
Youngs put a halt to the 50-match win streak held by Misty May-Treanor
and Kerri Walsh. The win in Boulder was special as well, as it happened
in her college town and on the same day her then-boyfriend Sean Scott
won the men’s title.

In 2006, Scott and Youngs claimed two more titles before parting ways.
Playing with Jennifer Kessy, the duo made it to a pair of finals and four
semifinals in total. Scott was chosen by Walsh in the Goddess of the Beach
tournament in September 2006 to be her partner in the finals, helping Walsh
win her first individual title. In 2007, Scott and Tyra Turner paired up to form
the fourth-ranked team on tour.

Scott and Turner advanced to five semifinals in 2008, including winning
the title in San Diego. Internationally the duo won two silver medals on
the FIVB Tour.  Scott missed most of the 2009 season due to her pregnancy.

The AVP Tour came through Hermosa Beach July 16-18th and
Olymic champs Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers continued to
flex their muscle and show they are still the team to beat on the
mens tour.

Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers won the AVP NIVEA Tour
Hermosa Beach Open Presented by Bud Light Lime on Sunday,
becoming the first team – men’s or women’s – to win the event
in five consecutive years.

Dalhausser and Rogers, the top-seeded men’s team, beat 13th-seeded
John Mayer and Matt Prosser, 21-14, 21-11, in Sunday’s final. They
lost just one game in five matches throughout the weekend.

place all time, ahead of current AVP Commissioner Mike Dodd and
Tim Hovland.

“It’s pretty cool considering only one other team has won five
in a row (at the same location),” Rogers said, referring to
Mike O’Bright and Mike O’Hara’s five straight Manhattan Beach
wins from 1960-64. “It’s pretty special.”

Mayer and Prosser were the lowest-seeded men’s team to make
a final this season. 
 

“I would definitely say I was happy to be there. It wasn’t in the plans
as the 13th seed to be in the final,” Mayer said. “But at the same time,
when you get there, I planned on winning. But they make it tough on you.
I’m bummed now, but when I look back on it, I’ll realize it was a
heck of a weekend.”

Dalhausser and Rogers continue to be a step above the others teams
on the tour and some experts think that the only competition they
have is in internation play and teams overseas.

The AVP tour limits the number of international teams which can
compete so that may not be coming any time soon and until then
other teams will need to step up their game in order to be these
two volleyball “super heros”.
