Beach Volleyball National Events
There's no bench on the beach™
Just like many events in Southern California, The GameShooters was at our college recruiting showcase yesterday July 31st. They were on site shooting video for their customers from pool play through the finals. The GameShooters keeps video around for a couple days after the event, so if they had a camera on your court this is your chance, get in touch now!
Here’s a sample from an event at Ocean Beach in San Diego CA this past July.

BVNE is proud to announce that Poseidon Surf in Santa Monica has offered to sponsor the BVNE Juniors Beach Club League Championship Tournament!
This is a big deal. Two first place teams in divisions to be announced on the day of our championship will receive a complimentary stand up paddle board day rental from Poseidon Surf. That’s four complimentary rentals from the great team over at Poseidon. Since this isn’t something everyone gets to do every day, read about Poseidon’s lessons right here on their website.
The story behind Poseidon Surf is worth a read to. This business is what makes the Poseidon team happy…read their story right here.

This was a great day for an unexpected reason. Today we had more new players and families come to our 12U division. This is what growing the game looks like! It’s been happens at our events often this year, especially the Juniors Beach Club League where young players who may be playing their first year in club volleyball, or are playing in their high school, come out to play at an event designed to help them succeed. At all BVNE events we welcome new players and are always willing to help explain anything they need.
Looking forward to a great season for the Queen of the Beach® tournament series! Families can have breakfast at Perry’s Cafe while their teams play.
There are lots of ideas here, and lots of opinions from many sources. We believe the bottom line is these four points.
Many players play in their age group, compete and grow against their direct peers, and continue learning. When the time comes those players will play the next level up with all of their peers. Who says you have to stay at that level? There is no reason you can’t play up and improve your skill level against more challenging players. If nothing else, at minimum a few times a year everyone should play up. There are tons of 14U and 16U players that have there A, AA, and even AAA ratings. You won’t win every game, but if you show up ready to learn and strategize, your game will improve and with a coach to help improvement will come faster.
There are many high school level players who think they can hit the gym once they make it to college. OK, so the college program has trainers and equipment, but so what? You should know your way around a gym. You should know how to protect yourself from exercises that push your body too far. It’s not fun to have your college career sidelined because you have a season off. Before you show up in college you should be able to have an intelligent conversation with your trainer so you can get more out of your workout.
Defined muscles can be fast and agile, they can also be big and slow. This is where the right muscle training comes in, and the right trainer. You can find the right trainer for you, someone who will train you on getting your own program so that you can manage on your own and not spend hundreds of dollars every month all year long.
Training with your peers and your club is great but get the extra reps you need with a private coach to work on one to two skill sets and master your skills.
All of this will probably lead to one emotion, being uncomfortable. Whenever someone goes outside of their comfort zone, it often means there is an opportunity to grow. Take advantage of that. Ask questions. Learn from your competitors and team mates. Improve!
Remember, there is always someone who is training harder, longer and going the extra mile to get results. Coaches are looking for girls who are physically fit, athletic, coachable and react well under pressure. Not always do coaches recruit players who win. There are looking for the complete package. Dedication plays a big part of making to college and even more dedication to play in college. BVNE wishes you all good luck on your journey!
Every day in the beach game there’s always something new right now. By now everyone knows about p1440, but just in case the King of the Beach® blog has a fast summary for you!
This isn’t going to surprise you a bit: Kerri Walsh Jennings has been working tirelessly to launch a pro volleyball tour according to flovolleyball.tv.
More good news for beach volleyball! Another school is adding women’s beach volleyball to their program. According to UC Davis “With more than 50 Division I institutions across the country adding beach volleyball over the last 10 years, UC Davis is now the seventh school to compete in this Big West Conference-sponsored sport.” The BVNE team can’t be happier than to see our favorite sport continue to grow and flourish. That it is happening at for players entering the sport at the collegiate level is even better news and we are excited and wish them success in their first year.
New programs increase number of women’s intercollegiate athletics teams to 16, reinforce UC Davis’ history of leadership in women’s athletics.
Endless Summer Volleyball Club Player Eden McCoy recruited by USC. Eden was gracious and thoughtful in her response to being committed. “There aren’t enough thank you’s in the world for this one, but I’ll start with USC, my coaches, my family, and my amazing club @endlesssummervbc. Wouldn’t be here without you. Fight On.” This was hard work and dedication on McCoy’s part to achieve such a notable accomplishment. BVNE sponsor King of the Beach® wrote more about Eden below, and you can see her commitment photo here.
Eden McCoy who is having a successful run as Josslyn Jacks on ‘General Hospital’ is going to be part of the USA Trojan’s beach volleyball team!

THIS was a great event, King of the Snow™ 2018 at Mammoth Mountain! Beach Volleyball National Events was invited to host the inaugural event with our sponsor King of the Beach®. The event brought the first King of the Snow™ volleyball championship to U.S. soil, and probably the first professional snow volleyball event as well.
The event took place as part of the 10th Mammoth Invitational event, hosted by the Mammoth Mountain Community Foundation, which works to support and motivate the youth in their local area through education, athletics, and civic responsibility by developing world-class athletic and academic programs for the kids of the greater Mammoth Community. BVNE was present for their fundraising event and we can truly say this is an organization worthy of everyone’s support. They believe in the power of education and sports, and the benefits those experiences and skills can bring to kid’s lives. Check them out here www.mammothfoundation.org. You can also read about all the sports in the invitational event right here www.mammothfoundation.org/mammoth-invitational-2018.
