Context:
"Hier baggern auch die Promis

am Samstag, den 29.01 zeigen die VIPs bei einem Promi-Turnier mit anschließendem Konzert, ob sie die Kunst des Baggerns beherrschen."
Re. beach volleyball. I suspect this is a specific beach volleyball term that has nothing to do with the ordinary usage of "baggern" i.e. chat up.
* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See examples above
* Document type: Newsletter
* Target audience: Trade fair visitors
* Country and dialect: Germany (no dialect)
