A total of 15 senior teams have already started their trial matches for beach volleyball in preparations for the Commonwealth Games qualifiers.

2015 Pacific Games Gold medalist, Moha Mea says with numbers picking up during the trial matches, training and preparations for the seniors will be a must, with only limited time to the Oceania Championships.

Making time to ref the U-15 and U-18 teams each weekend, Mea said great potential have come through the competition since the federation decided to boost the interest and make beach volleyball a priority in 2017.

Selections will also be carried out for the juniors after the national event to select top players in preparations for the Youth Commonwealth Games in the Bahamas this year.

Meanwhile, with the construction at Ela beach, Mea is calling on Sports Minister and Sports Foundation to allow beach volleyball competition to use the official volleyball courts that were used during the 2015 Pacific Games.
