Seasons end. Seasons begin. Such is the nature of sports. Yet it’s something special about beach volleyball that the two can happen simultaneously. The college beach volleyball season, for all but eight teams, will officially come to a close this weekend after the Big West and Pac-12 hold their respective championships. And the professional season, for many of the top players in the world, will begin this week with a four-star FIVB in Xiamen, China.

We’ll have coverage of it all here at p1440. Here’s what’s to come this week in beach volleyball:
