Free Beach Volleyball Clinic with Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Fonoimoana, July 15-17, 2013 at Jetty Island



The Puget Sound Region of USA Volleyball and USA Beach Volleyball have partnered with Proctor and Gamble to provide a free beach volleyball camp at Jetty Island in Everett, Washington from July 15-17 with Olympic Gold Medalist Eric Fonoimoana as the head clinician.  Registration for the camp is available through Beach.SoundVolleyball.com. 

Participants may be a part of any or all of the three training sessions taking place at Jetty Island, but space is limited so early registration is encouraged.  Throughout the clinic, Fonoimoana will be joined by coaches from the Puget Sound Region Beach Volleyball High Performance program to provide as much feedback as possible to the campers as they learn the beach volleyball skills. 

Fonoimoana won the Olympic Gold Medal for beach volleyball in the 2000 Sydney Olympics with partner Dain Blanton.  He is a former AVP Player of the Year and won an estimated one million dollars playing professional volleyball over an 18 year career.  He is also the founder of Dig For Kids, a non-profit organization that helps provide academic and athletic opportunities to kids in inner-city schools. 

The event will be part of Beach Volleyball Week in the Puget Sound which will include the Washington State Games Beach Volleyball Tournament played at Alki Beach July 13-14 and the Western Open US Junior Beach Tour National Championship Qualifier Tournament played at Jetty Island July 20-21.
