To be showcased with all the trappings of an extravaganza from September 26 to October 2 on the sands of Elliot's Beach, Chennai, the FIVB-Chennai Challenger international beach volleyball tournament promises to be the biggest event ever held here in this sport.

A highlight of the side shows during the tournament is the proposed fashion parade involving the 200-odd international participants in Indian traditional costumes.
