Three international beach volleyball tournaments scheduled for Mexico this month have been postponed because of concerns over the swine flu outbreak.

Events in Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta will be pushed back to June, and the one in Baja Calif., will be played in September, according to Roosevelt Comarazamy, a spokesman for the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Federation.

The primary international circuit, FIVB Swatch Tour, does not have any events scheduled in Mexico, but the women's junior world championships are scheduled for Tijuana and Mexicali from July 16-25. A contingency plan is in place if Mexico is deemed unsafe, the international governing body said.

"We are carefully considering the situation in Mexico and are analyzing all relevant issues" with the medical staff, FIVB executive vice president Theofanis Tsiokris said. "The health of the players is of course of utmost importance in any decision we will make."
