The AVP is coming back with two events in September that the pro beach volleyball tour’s new owner hopes will capitalize on strong American performances in the Olympics.

Donald Sun, who bought the remnants of the AVP this spring, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the tour will resume in Cincinnati on Labor Day Weekend — less than a month after the London Games and more than two years after the circuit declared bankruptcy. A second event is scheduled for Santa Barbara, Calif., on Sept. 15-16.
