DEEP DISH BOURNEMOUTH REPRESENT 💪

Huge congrats to our Deep Dish Bournemouth girls on an amazing showing at the European Championships in Montpellier 🔥

The tournament took place right in the heart of the city at a local park, complete with six beach volleyball courts, music, food stalls, and a packed crowd bringing the ultimate atmosphere!

Despite tough games against France and Turkey, they played their hearts out, finished strong and embraced every moment. While they faced some relentless competition, it was all smiles, sunshine, and full of epic team vibes 🌞

With new challenges ahead, the team’s focus is as sharp as ever: some are gearing up for the indoor Super League, one player is also heading to Sweden for the NEVZA, and they’re all excited to hit the sand again for our Winter Series at Crystal Palace. We can’t wait to see them keep shining!

Here’s to our Bournemouth ladies for repping Deep Dish and making us all so proud 🥳

BIALOKOZ & BATRANE TAKE ON KING & QUEEN OF THE COURT 🇬🇧👑

The iconic Canary Wharf skyline provided a stunning backdrop last weekend as some of the world’s best beach volleyball players gathered in London for the inaugural King & Queen of the Court tournament.

This exciting event, held from September 20 to 21, showcased both elite international talent and promising home-grown players, creating an electrifying atmosphere that celebrated the sport.

Team Deep Dish stars Issa Batrane and Freddie Bialokoz brought the heat to Canary Wharf at the Queen & King of the Court tournament! 🌟 Freddie and Issa kicked off their QKOTC journey in front of a packed audience, and the atmosphere was electric.

“It’s the first time we’ve played an international tournament at home, and it was an incredible experience to play in front of so many familiar faces. Massive thanks to everyone who came out and supported us; you made it a success!”

Next up: Freddie heads to Miami, and both are ready for a busy November in Southeast Asia! Stay tuned! 🔥
