Beach Accelerate 3 Series: Dive into Intensive Beach Volleyball Competition Training!

Get ready to elevate your beach volleyball game like never before with our innovative Beach Accelerate 3 Series! We're thrilled to announce the return of this dynamic program that promises intensive competition training, and heaps of fun over three days. This program is for Grade 7-12, all skill levels.

How It Works:

Whether you're looking for a fun introduction to beach volleyball, aiming to refine your skills, or striving for top-notch strength and conditioning, we've got you covered. Beach volleyball shares similarities with indoor volleyball but also has unique rules and strategies due to the outdoor environment and smaller team size.

In beach volleyball tournaments, unlike indoor ones, coaching during matches is typically not allowed. This means players must rely on their own knowledge, strategy, and understanding of the rules during gameplay, adding an extra layer of challenge and responsibility on the sand.

The Accelerate series offers an excellent opportunity to deepen players' understanding of the differences between beach and indoor volleyball. By breaking down the sport into easily understandable pieces, it provides players with opportunities to develop skills, understand strategies, and enhance gameplay.

What to Expect:

  • Day 1: Dive into the basics with an introduction to beach volleyball and skill development session.
  • Day 2 & 3: Take your game to the next level with a team communication focus and tournament strategy.

Why Join Beach Accelerate 3 Series?

  • Receive expert coaching and guidance from experienced instructors.
  • Enjoy the camaraderie of fellow athletes and beach volleyball enthusiasts.
  • Choose your own adventure with flexible registration options for one or multiple series (each week is a repeated format).
