Summer Beach Volleyball Program

The Downstate Beach Volleyball Program runs from mid-May through mid-July. Players will be trained on beach volleyball skills and game strategy and will have a chance to compete in games during some practice sessions. Why beach volleyball? Beach volleyball is an excellent means for players to improve their all-around volleyball skills. Playing 2-person beach (doubles) volleyball demands each player learn to execute every aspect of the game:  serve, pass, set, attack, block and dig. Beach volleyball is now an NCAA sport with over 100 universities around the country offering programs, many of which also offer beach volleyball scholarships.

Any teams that wish to play in regional tournaments can choose the events in which they would like to compete. We will be sending a coach to some of these tournaments, as well.

Note, all athletes must be registered with GEVA/USA Volleyball. If you are not already registered, you may select the Developmental Membership.

We are using a new registration platform (Sprocket Sports) - you will need to login or create a new account. Also, please click the link to add your child’s school grade so that registration options will display.
