Sand Volleyball Season’s End

Our Select Program

We strive to develop our competitive players to help them meet their goals. Through 3 practices a week and 44 games (average count) per season, you will see the difference in your player’s performance!

To build strong teams we offer team-building events, especially at the beginning of the season: sand volleyball tourneys, Escape Room or Bowling, Slick City, as suggested by Team, Coach or Parents. We want the girls to establish friendships early on and work as a team who care for one another and each other’s success, as teamwork makes dream work!

As of the 2025-2026 Season, we will no longer offer Boys Select Club programs. To help boys prepare for High School Tryouts and to develop them, we do offer Boys Only or Co-ed Teams on the Power League program.
