Beach Volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States and a number of USA Volleyball Programs offer beach volleyball training programs.
The Advantages of Training with a USA Volleyball Beach Club
1. Safety- Every beach volleyball coach with a USA Volleyball program is background screened prior to being allowed to work as a coach. This is part of the USA Volleyball Safe Sport Initiative and the USA Volleyball commitment to the safety of its athletes.
2. Coaching Education- All of the USA Volleyball Beach Volleyball Coaches in the Puget Sound Region have received training that helps them better handle athletes and situations that arise in the competitive environment. Our coaches training gives them tools that will help create safe, fun and effective training programs for athletes of all ages.
3. The High Performance Pipeline- USA Volleyball Training programs have the ability to provide opportunities beyond the local beach to their athletes. The USA Volleyball Beach High Performance Program and the Puget Sound Region Beach High Performance Program are two examples of a growing number of ways that our local beach athletes can make an impact on a national level.
4. Regional and National Rankings- Participants in USA Beach Volleyball Training Programs are encouraged to enter events that are sanctioned by USA Volleyball and are awarded points towards a Regional and National Championship based on their finishes in those events. This fun and motivating program gives our athletes tools that will help them set goals for their future performance and be rewarded for consistently striving to give their best on the beach.
5. The Olympic Dream- USA Volleyball consistently produces the best beach volleyball athletes in the World. Since Beach Volleyball was added to the Olympics, USA Volleyball has won six gold medals. The next closest country to this total is Brazil who has won two. USA Beach Volleyball training programs are built on the success of our Olympic teams and allow our athletes at every level to take pride in representing themselves as part of the same organization as Misty May-Treanor, Kerri Walsh-Jennings, Karch Kiraly, Eric Fonoimoana, April Ross and every other American athlete wearing Red White and Blue and competing at the highest level.
