This episode of SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, is our SEASON-PREVIEW MAILBAG! The AVP season begins THIS WEEKEND in Miami, while Volleyball World begins again in La Paz, Mexico, for a Challenge. As always, we begin our year with a fan question episode, answering:

- Who will win AVP Miami?

- Who are the players to watch on the AVP Tour this season?

-  Is the Elite 16 and Challenge system popular amongst the players?

And, as always, a whole lot more!
