Beach Doubles Winter Training Program

*Summer 2026 beach team will be treated separately, that season being May–August 2026*

Program Structure:

We will play doubles volleyball on hard court during the winter, travel to sand courts for tournaments, and get outside to Wilson Farm Park anytime that the weather permits during winter season. Although a team atmosphere, the primary focus is for players to develop their individual skills. For tournament play, travelling is optional and partners are chosen for each tournament by the athletes (can find a partner in or out of the club)

Who’s welcome? 

Any female 7th-12th grade can be evaluated and considered.
