Overview
OP2 Beach coaches believe players will dramatically improve all aspects of their game by learning true beach volleyball through our junior training program. Having fun, training and competing on the sand translates to the hard-court; including serve-receive, setting, hitting, serving, blocking, situational intelligence, athleticism, vertical jumping and overall strength and conditioning.
- Our #1 goal is that players have fun! Playing beach volleyball improves your indoor game and physical fitness. When your player heads back to the hard-court, they will be moving quicker, and jumping out of the gym after training with OP2 Beach.
- OP2 Beach provides junior beach volleyball training for beginner, intermediate, and competitive players. Junior players have a blast at our beach tournaments, camps and clinics, as well as private lessons.
- All of our coaches are USAV registered and have cleared through the USAV screening process. Our coaches have years of experience coaching and playing beach volleyball. They have completed many levels of training offered through USAV, including Impact and CAP courses. We love beach volleyball and are very excited for the opportunity to share beach volleyball with your player.
- We believe good character will build unlimited reward. Our goals are to encourage junior players to be outgoing, attentive, encouraging, optimistic, dedicated, resilient, adaptive and enthusiastic in order to help continuously be successful.
- The summertime is vacation time; time for indoor volleyball camps, and clinics. OP2 Beach understands summer plans and we developed our program to be flexible for volleyball families. Training sessions/tournaments are not mandatory.
OP2 Beach is a no-cut program and there are no tryouts.
