95' Women's Pro Beach Volleyball : Holly McPeak & Nancy Reno vs. Linda Hanley & Angela Rock
Famous Beach Volleyball Player: Angela Rock
Of all the famous beach volleyball players in the US, Angela Rock was most well-known for having a tough serve.
Since the volleyball serve is the first opportunity for a player to score a point, Angela was prolific at scoring five or six points right off the bat at the beginning of a match, which forced the players on opposing teams to always have to play catch up.
Angela deserved the prestigious honor of being one of the famous female volleyball players named to the US All-Era Beach Volleyball Team in 1998 - 2003.

If you're a B team or JV player trying to make varsity next year...your goal should be to complete 1000 reps a day of at least three of the basic skills on your own...volleyball passing, serving and setting should be at the top of the list.
