Chris Hannemann is an American Beach volleyball coach and former professional player. A South Bay product, his playing resume brings new meaning to the term "endless" and reflects well upon himself, his family of high-level players and the sport of professional beach volleyball. From the AVP, to EEVB, to a two-time Motherlode Champion, it is safe to say he has been "everywhere, man." Using his bi-coastal playing experience, he was able to jump into coaching right away, breathing life into the Dakine Club volleyball scene in Seattle, Washington. He has returned to the South Bay and is now the founder and program director of Hermosa Beach Volleyball Club.
Troy Gravett is an American beach volleyball and indoor volleyball referee. Where in most instances, remembering referee's names is a bad thing, he has been sharp, fair, and may be setting a general standard in how games are called, as well as providing perspective on tough calls, mistakes and how to make sure the outcome is decided by the players with much at stake. Where many are not inclined to engage in a tough Q and A, he is more than ready to embrace it.
