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.
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.
