Mens BB/A Try Out

Up your game with consistent & competitive players pushing you to your athletic potential. Try out for our men’s intermediate program. 

This program has changed the course of my week. After my college athletic career came to an end, I picked up beach volleyball. These weekly training sessions with the team have been the perfect way to feed my competitive drive and improve my tournament performance.

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)

Our Volley360™ curriculum is designed to teach you all of the skills you need to hold your own on most pickup courts

Yep! As we said before, beach volleyball is a fantastic workout that doesn’t feel like exercise.

You’ll get into shape and melt the pounds off while having fun with your friends. What’s not to like?

Better yet, the game of beach volleyball is a game of skill – not athleticism. If you can think, you can score some points.

If we had to average it out, it’s around 8-10 people per class. We do cap our classes out at 10 students each, so you can get more 1-on-1 attention from your coach. Plus, the small group feel is a lot better for making friends.

However class sizes can vary depending on the time of day and the lesson!
