When do misty may and kerri play

While May-Treanor may have moved on from her days as an Olympic beach volleyball heavyweight with teammate Kerri Walsh Jennings, she has definitely positioned herself to be a leader and role model — on and off the court — for years to come. By Andi O'Rourke. Reporting from the AP just after she and Walsh Jennings won their third set of Olympic golds quoted May-Treanor as saying: Beach volleyball's not going to be my career anymore.

Since their return, they haven't dominated like they did going into Kerri Walsh remains confident and excited about the prospect of putting their team into the ranks of the all-time greats from ESPN :. We'll be the best there ever was in beach volleyball, and I just want that. I want us to do it because we're capable.
