- AVRIL FILLIES

Grant Goldschmidt originally from Mitchells Plain and now residing in Goodwood, former SA beach volleyball champion, is now plying his trade as a beach volleyball commissioner for the Cape Town Volleyball Federation and coaching two ladies teams at the University of Cape Town. He retired in 2022 after the Beach Pro Tour held in the Mother City.

"In August last year I was approached by the Federation to assist as they needed someone with expertise to make opportunities available for everyone in the Cape Town area to play beach volleyball. We competed in nine events from October until March over the summer season and we had a successful beach league, but the indoor-season has started and we are currently competing in the indoor league," he says.

Being in volleyball for almost 30 years, he became involved at the Federation to share his knowledge with the two ladies team of UCT consisting of 12 ladies each.
