Think all models have flat tummies and enviable derrieres because they won the genetic lottery? Well, you are probably right. But some of those fine physiques are the result of hard work and training. This weekend the competitors in the Dirty Dutch Model Beach Volleyball Tournament will prove that they are more than just picture perfect, but also pretty fierce on the sand as well.

The tournament will count on the presence of luminaries from the world of sports as well as the world of modeling. Pro volleyball stars Casey Patterson and Sinjin Smith will coach the models along with WNBA player turn volleyball professional Kelly Schumacher and top 10 U.S. player Adrian Carambula. Now in its fourth year, the tournament will also have Sports Illustrated model and the sexy new face of Carl Jr.'s, Nina Agdal return to cheer on her fellow beautiful people.

The event is free and open to anyone who would be interested in watching co-ed teams of professional models wear next to nothing and get sweaty and sandy for two days. Participating agencies include Wilhelmina, Next, Caroline Gleason, Mega, Front, MC2, Elite, Runways & Ocean Models. Winners will receive an all expense weekend getaway to the luxurious Bimini Bay Resort and Marina on March 1-3, 2013 where four teams will compete in a rematch at the resort's Sakara Beach Club.

But the real winners are the people who get to watch a bunch of models in action for free.
