Date of tournament you got your rating: It took all season to get my A on 8/22/10... but got my AA the very next tourney I played on 9/11/2010!

Playing experience: 5ish years, 2 years playing women's doubles

Rating earned: AA

How long you have been playing: My first experience with beach vball was at 22 playing jungle ball with coworkers, but I didn't start playing doubles until a few years later. I finally discovered women's doubles in 2008 and started seriously playing tourneys this year.

How long you have been training with SBV: Took one class in Summer of 2008, but have been taking classes consistently for the past year

And one totally fun and useless fact (might as well have some fun with this one....PG rated): How about 2? I grew up in Hawaii but never surfed. And my last name has no vowels.
