Welcome to:
Carolina Beach Volleyball Academy The Carolina's Premier Beach Volleyball Club!
Welcome to our Family
New This Year: Tryouts/Assessment
New This Year: Train & Play
Train & Play will replace our normal Friday scrimmages. We will be breaking groups down by skill level and working to best maximize their individual needs. For our newer beach volleyball players, we will focus on skills and how they translate to the game, tactics (how we score points on a consistent basis), our methodology, and most importantly how to think on the court.
For our more advanced players our time practicing will be more intense, focusing on hitting and defending, advanced tactics, how to see the court better, think faster, and reacting more quickly. We will also work on individual skills such as passing/setting/serving, but players in this group should already have a general knowledge of these skills.
For our time playing, we will be focusing on areas of the game to improve, and use what we learned during our practice portion. You do not need a partner to sign up, but you are welcome to bring one!
When: Sunday August 2nd 7:00-9:00pm and Monday August 3rd 7:00-9:00pm
Where: Carolina Beach Courts - 10930 Granite Street, Charlotte NC 28273
Why/What:
1 - For those who want to be part of a travel team, but the beach version.
2 - For those players and parents who want to find out if there is the possibility of playing beach volleyball in college.
Players will be placed on our travel team, this group will be very competitive, will travel, and expected to attend every practice. Or they will be placed in our Full-Time/Specialized group, this group will be expected to play in tournaments with some travel involved.
Not all year round players have to come to tryouts... Those interested in part-time, or not interested in traveling for tournaments but want to participate in the year round programs, are not required to try out.
Why Play Beach Volleyball?
Karch Kiraly - Olympic Gold Medalist / Women's National Head Coach"
It's easier to take your outdoor skills into the gym than to bring your indoor skills outside. Simple reason. Beach volleyball forces you to have all the skills. That's why I think it's a good idea for indoor players to play on the beach. . . . Learning those skills can only help improve a player's indoor performance. All my years playing on the beach as a kid certainly helped my indoor game. If nothing else, a player's quickness and jump will be increased by playing on soft sand."
John Kessel - USA Volleyball"
The beach game is GREAT for improving your indoor skills/game. Whatever your weaknesses are,you get to work on them a ton. Unlike the 6 person game, you touch the ball in every rally, and with just two of you covering the court, you learn to read and anticipate much better. Dealing with the sun and wind helps you be more adaptable. Player height is less important outdoors where ball control and skill is more important."
