Create Lifelong Friendships
Volleyball ends.
Friendships don't.
Some of my closest friends have been part of my volleyball journey for nearly 40 years.
Our goal is to help you build friendships that last long after your final match.
Outgrow Your Limits
Growth happens outside your comfort zone.
Become stronger.
More confident.
More resilient.
Not because someone forced you—
Because you learn to love the work.
Make College Possible
Whether your dream is:
• College Beach Volleyball
• High School Varsity Beach Volleyball
• Club Beach Volleyball
• Or just becoming the best version of you
We'll help you understand your options & prepare for the path that is right for you.
OUR 6 GUIDING PRINCIPLES
Love Your Self. Love Your Club. Love Your Journey. Love the Game. Love the Work. Love the Challenge.
Winning matters. But loving the sport enough to still be playing 20 years from now... that's success.
Love Yourself
Understand you are much more than an athlete. You are infinitely valuable, regardless of outcomes.
Love Your Club
Treat all your friends, coaches, & supporters (family & fans) with respect & kindness.
Love Your Journey
Love the ups & downs, wins & losses, practices & matches. Continue to learn, grow, & evolve.
Love the Game
Focus on playing at a high level & with complete integrity & honor for the sport more than winning.
Love the Work
Love the work & growth so much that you quickly master fundamental skills & advanced strategies.
Love the Challenge
Love the Challenge so much that you seek the best competition, rather than the easy win.
Play as Much Volleyball as You Like
- Play for your school teams (indoor & beach) if you like & can.
- We have multiple practice schedules.
- You can do both if you choose.
- There are no penalties for missing practices (other than the natural consequence of missing an opportunity to improve & have fun).
- We want you to choose & enjoy your journey, so you continue to have fun and play for decades.
Local Queen of the Beach Event on One Saturday of Every Month
- Play with different partners each set
- Enjoy the beach with your friends
- Develop your tournament skills
- Mini-Clinic with family members to start the event.
- Morning event in Naples (No long distance travel)
Family at the Center
- We want athletes and families to develop healthy relationships.
- As with coaches, we suggest parents meet their emotional & achievement needs elsewhere.
- We will host mini-clinics for family members to learn with their athletes.
- "Peppering" (bump, set, spike) with your child might be one of the most fun things you ever get to enjoy.
- The more family members can understand their athletes and the game, the better they can support the athlete.
Athletes FIRST
- We focus on the athlete's development & fulfillment.
- Coaches must meet their achievement needs elsewhere.
- We believe that athletes, not coaches, win & lose matches.
- Athletes have enough self-generated pressure to win - in addition to the stressors & demands of school, social, growth, & life.
- We don't tolerate coaches imposing their emotional needs to win or feel approval on the players they coach.
- We want our athletes to PLAY volleyball... not have a job.
There is no stress involved. If I am a bit late or unable to attend practice because I am out of town, I am not punished but instead, I am missed.
Playing beach volleyball with Love allows me to enjoy the sport while still learning, improving my skills, and growing as a player.
Love Beach Volleyball Athlete
Playing club has pushed our daughter to be a better player.
Her love for the game goes beyond playing a game. She loves the sport.
This season has helped with her volleyball IQ, ball control, knowing her position, and what she’s supposed to do on the court.
She enjoys making friends with her team and team bonding as well.
Love Beach Volleyball Parent
I really enjoy being part of this club because the coaches truly care about each athlete and want every player to reach their full potential.
They push you to improve, give helpful feedback, and encourage you to keep getting better.
I have grown a lot as a player... becoming more confident & gaining so much love for the game.
Love Beach Volleyball Athlete
I really appreciate the thoughtful planning & execution of practices.
Each practice is well thought out, and has a purpose.
They focus on skill development and creating a fun environment.
