Ten provinces are expected to take part mainly the senior team pairs for women and men.
Beach Volleyball Commission vice-chairperson Vengai Nyawule said the aim of the series was to scout players for the national team .
“We conduct these series to select a national team as well as to make the sport known by encouraging people to play beach volleyball,” Nyawule said.
ZVA secretary-general Ringisai Mapondera said the tournament was open to anyone.
“Points are awarded during the tournament and a national team will be formed from those teams which will have acquired mega points,” he said.
