Girl’s Juniors Academy
Our Juniors Academy is designed to offer summer-long training for girls ages 10-18. The three groups cover all aspects of beach volleyball, from moving efficiently in the sand, to sound technique and game strategy, and even intangibles along the way such as healthy communication and self-discovery.
Rookie
High-energy training designed specifically for the beginning sand player. Our focus is having fun, while learning the fundamental skills to develop as an overall player. Rookie players are typically: new to volleyball, or have some familiarity with the sport but are not able to consistently serve, pass, or perform other basic skills.
Cost: $400
Junior
Developmental training designed for players who have the desire to learn and compete. This program is designed for players who have the basics of volleyball under control, can keep rallies alive, and are interested in learning more about the game of sand volleyball!
Cost: $450
Elite
High level training that delves into more nuances of the game of beach volleyball. This program is best tailored for the player that competes at the JV/Varsity level of indoor volleyball. No beach volleyball knowledge required, but ball control and overall volleyball IQ are musts.
Cost: $500
