This winter, Volley Vlaanderen and Beachvolley Academy Plus are joining forces for the Youth Winterbeach Tour: a series of three qualification rounds followed by a Masters tournament.
The Winterbeach Tour offers young players the perfect opportunity to keep developing their skills and to start building their ranking towards the summer season already in winter.

Concept
The Youth Winterbeach Tour includes:
- Three qualification rounds
- One Masters tournament

The three rounds determine:
- which teams qualify for the Masters,
- and the seeding for the Masters.

No official ranking points are awarded during the qualification rounds.

At the Masters, however, youth PRO points are awarded (column 3 of the official Flemish Youth Beach Ranking table).
This means players can earn the same number of points as in a summer PRO tournament, and these points fully count toward the ranking for next summer.

In short:
the winter rounds help prepare your position, and the Masters already allow you to gain an early advantage for the summer season.
