Misty May-Treanor to play AVP this week

Misty May-Treanor isn’t finished with beach volleyball quite yet.

The three-time Olympic champion who came out of a three-year retirement last year to play domestic AVP tournaments will continue to do so at the season opener in New Orleans this week.

May-Treanor, 38, will play with Jenny Kropp in a tournament that starts with qualifying Thursday and the first round Friday. NBC and NBC Sports Live Extra will have coverage Sunday at 1:30 p.m. ET (full season broadcast schedule here).

May-Treanor does not harbor Olympic hopes. She would have had to start playing internationally last year to have any shot at Rio.
