2023 Summer Beach Training
Elite announces that 2023, is our 15th year of beach volleyball training and competition teams. All practices will be held at Integrity Athletics, along with a number of tournament options. Integrity Athletics is home to 4 outdoor sand courts with lights. We are offering two options for Beach Volleyball this 2023 season, an Early Bird Tour and Summer Beach Tour. Both programs will run through the end of July. Practice tiers will be determined for ages 14U-18U through the Grouping Session held on Sunday, May 21 at 2pm-4pm. We will train fundamental skills and strategies necessary to be successful at the game of volleyball. It has been proven that sand volleyball will improve your overall volleyball IQ and fundamental skills. This year we are looking to improve our training as well as our tournament schedule. Elite Volleyball Training Center utilizes a training style in order to teach the entire game of 2 on 2 beach volleyball. We will focus on fundamental skill training, Volleyball IQ, teaching the rules of the game, and teaching how to be a great teammate. Each athlete can choose what tournaments to attend and teammates can be changed for each tournament. Competing is not required.
Beach Director Joe Jackson will head up the scheduling and training for the 2023 season along with Randy Cline. Randy on the AVP Tour and many other tours in the US since 1992. Randy has personally played both indoor and sand at the same time. Randy has personally coached many top Female players in the US and Switzerland. Graciela Santana, Paula Roca, Nancy Mason, Jennifer Kessy, Jennifer Meredith, Tiffany Rodriquez, Daniela Erni, Tyra Turner, Makare Wilson, Michelle Williams and Suzanne Stonebarger Barnes to name a few. Elite Volleyball Training Center believes in the growth of volleyball no matter what surface it is on. Our staff will work hard to improve your athlete’s game.
In 2022 we had over 200 kids in our beach program. Since 2013 we have had our athletes representing Elite at the USA Volleyball Beach Nationals and at HP Nationals along with USA National Championship teams.
