Escobar and Vargas will be the first men’s or women’s team from El Salvador to compete in the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships. Despite entering the 2015 season without any experience on the FIVB World Tour, Escobar and Vargas have been regulars on the NORCECA tour. The pair has posted eight “top 9” finishes the past two seasons as El Salvador ranked fourth on the NORCECA country standings in 2014.
