FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I try a class out to see if I like it?
Absolutely!
Our Introduction to Beach Volleyball class is your chance to try out a 2-hour long class with no commitment.
In those 2 hours, we’ll teach you all the basics you need to get you playing. This class is required if you’ve never played before, and is an excellent refresher if you are getting back into the game.

Which plan is best for me?
Most of our new-to-beach volleyball beginners start with either the Unlimited Plan or the Class Plan.
If you are new to beach volleyball we recommend you follow their example. The Unlimited Plan and Class Plan both give you access to classes which are critical if you want to learn the game the right way – so you can play your best and avoid injury.
If you have some prior experience, the League Plan can also be a great option, as all of our leagues also include coaching.
Will I be okay as a complete beginner?
Yes! Over 60% of our students are first-timers who have never picked up a volleyball before.
And no, they aren’t all 20-somethings with magically sculpted abs who might as well live in the gym! You can find beginners of all ages here, from 18 all the way up to 68. (P.S you are still welcome if you have magically sculpted abs. We don’t judge)

I played a long time ago and want to come back. What should I do?
First of all, what a great decision to get back into the game of beach volleyball! Welcome back!
Depending on how long you’ve been out of the game, a lot may have changed. Here’s the good news: your previous experience means you’ll learn a lot faster than a pure beginner. The challenge is that the game (and the way you move on the court) may have changed since the last time you played.
We recommend that you join our Introduction To Beach Volleyball class. It will help your body remember how to move like a volleyball player as well as teach you the updated rules of the game. By the end of the 2-hour-long class – you’ll be feeling that much more confident in your ability to get back out there.
I'm a former indoor player - where should I get involved?
Welcome to the dark side! Kiss the back pain, stanky knee-pads, and the yucky red floor burns goodbye.
The Challenge
The challenge is that beach is a completely different game from indoor. The courts are different. The rules are different. You can’t jump as high as you remember. And your butter sets? Not so fast. Everything is a double. Everything.
Converting to beach volleyball after your indoor career can be a frustrating experience without good coaching.
In many ways, beach volleyball requires you to be a more complete volleyball player than indoor. Depending on your indoor position, there may be areas of your game that are underdeveloped on the beach. For example, you may not have gotten many opportunities for out-of-system setting unless you were a libero.
How To Get Involved:
Fortunately, our Volley360 program, designed by our founder Alyx Lauren is built to make your transition from indoor to beach as easy as possible by emphasizing the fundamentals of the game.
We recommend that you join our Introduction To Beach Volleyball class. It covers the fundamentals of passing, hitting, setting, and serving and will have you moving through the sand like it’s nothing.
Can children/teens join our classes?
Children (Under 13):
We do not currently coach children younger than 13.
Teens (Over 13):
We do offer classes to teens over the age of 13 on a case-by-case basis. To see if your teenager qualifies, reserve a spot today in our next Introduction To Beach Volleyball class.

Can this replace my gym membership?
1 hour of beach volleyball burns 576 calories [1]
Meanwhile…
1 hour of high-impact aerobics only burns 504 calories [1]
It’s pretty dang clear that beach volleyball is high on the list of great workouts that don’t feel like exercise.
We’ll let you make the decision on whether or not to hang up the boring, dusty membership or not.
P.S: Looking for that sculpted, athletic beach volleyball physique? We’ve got just the thing for you – our new VolleyBod program is designed to get you the complete and balanced physique that’ll turn heads on and off the court.
