Ben Pipes has big plans for volleyball in Britain. It starts with sustaining the momentum that indoor and beach volleyball have gained during the London Games.

Pipes, the captain of the British men's volleyball team, says the plan is for clubs around the country to open their doors Aug. 18-19 and entertain anybody interested in learning a bit more about the sport — and even give it a try.

"That's a great thing. We've captivated the nation and it's a big deal what we've done and what these games have brought to us," he said. "It's not just talking about a legacy but what we can do. At the moment we've surrounded ourselves with the right people. We've had such a great history the last five years, we've got to capitalize on it."
