Olympic volleyball gold medalist Kerri Walsh is heading back to the beach.
Walsh had planned to take the year off from the pro beach volleyball tour after having a baby this spring. But she’s now making plans to come back in August, the AVP Tour confirmed to The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Walsh hasn’t said yet who her partner will be. Misty May-Treanor, who won gold with Walsh in Athens and Beijing, is also planning to start a family.
Walsh and her husband, beach volleyball pro Casey Jennings, had a baby boy, Joseph, in May.
