On October 7th, The South Mission Beach SportsPark played host to the first annual Digster Six on the Beach Volleyball Championships.



Stars such as Olympic Gold Medalist Steve Salmons, local hero and former NBA star Jud Buechler, along with former AVP star Bruk Vandeweghe all showed their domination at the net, but each failed to take their team to the finals in the rare six-on-six volleyball format.



In the Women's Open, it was two San Diego teams battling it out for the title. The "Red-Headed Sluts", led by AVP pro Beth van Fleet, knocked off the "Stud Finders."



In the Men's Open, "Moonlight Beach" knocked off La Migra and captain Jeff Waldal, to take home first place.



Most of the competitors eliminated in round robin competition and the playoffs stuck around until the end, taking sides and roaring after every point.



Teams decked themselves out in creative and outrageous costumes, including the "Red-Headed Sluts", "Speed Walkers", "NBA All-Stars", and "State Troopers."



The event, founded by Dave Behar, Chief Executive Athlete of the 1,000+ Channel ION Network, functions as a primary fundraiser for San Diego's famous South Mission Beach Sportspark, according to Laura Hendrickson, Tournament Director.



Behar claimed the event an overall success and an increased financial commitment for the expanded 2007 event and for years to come.



"This already successful event will continue to evolve into a true world class competition - at a world class venue - as well as enable the unique comraderie of the participants," said Behar.



"Both the ionNetwork and Digster are proud to be the primary investor and sponsor of the South Mission Beach SportsPark, athletic and kids health initiatives."
