Miami Beach, FL – February 8, 2014 – Things were heating up on the sand as The 5th annual Model Beach Volleyball Tournament started off with a bang Saturday morning at Lummus Park in Miami Beach. Top modeling agencies in Miami, as well as some of the top professional volleyball players across the world, got together and formed co-ed teams and competed in a thrilling two-day beach volleyball tournament. These top agencies included Next, CGM, Elite, Ford, MC2, Mega, Front, Oceans, Runways and Wilhelmina. Models were draped head-to-toe in Wildfox Couture, including everything from eyewear to swim to apparel. Wildfox had even customized one of a kind agency team uniforms which turned out to be a hot commodity on the court. Day one’s battle consisted of a bracket style competition where teams competed against each other in round robin format. Rockstar energy and Coconut Cartel kept the beaches, players and guests hydrated under the intense heat. Inside the VIP tent, models, media and celebrities enjoyed complimentary cocktails by Miami Cocktail Company & Heineken Light. The team that finishes best on Sunday were set to win a complimentary round trip to an unknown destination. The event exclusively benefitted the Irie Foundation, which seeks to improve the lives of South Florida’s youth through educational and extracurricular opportunities and improve the graduation rates among young students.
