OPTIMUM BEACH COACHED TOURNAMENT & CLINIC SCHEDULE
Optimum Beach Experience: Our coaches are exclusively dedicated to beach training with resumes that span the Olympics, FIVB, AVP, and Collegiate circuit both off the court as coaches and on the court as players. For 10+ years our methodology, rooted in Brazilian tradition, is the core of our success making us a top program in Florida.
Optimum Level of Play: Train, practice, and compete alongside beach volleyball athletes with the same aspirations and desire to learn, improve and compete.
Local & Travel Competitions: Summer Beach Club players compete in local tournaments to gain fundamentals of beach competition and to practice what they learn. Our sideline coaches inspire, teach & help them be their best self on and off the court.
Junior Select players play locally and travel to high-visibility tournaments. Our coaches travel with players to provide invaluable sideline coaching and support. Travel tournaments include in-state qualifiers as well as participation in Nationals in Hermosa Beach, California.
National Recognition: Optimum Beach has clinched numerous awards as a club and as individual directors/coaches by the AVCA, USAV & JVA. We have secured multiple National Championships, earning accolades from USAV, AVP, BVCA and P1140.
College Recruitment Support: We have assisted many high school athletes in fulfilling their aspirations of playing at the collegiate level. We are proud of our 100% recruitment rate at the CRTP level alone and helping to send near 90 players onto a collegiate squad!
Privates Lessons: We also offer private sessions to help players focus on key elements of their game. We can match players to the right coach or if you have a coach in mind, requests are honored (based on coach availability). Interested in private lessons? Click here
Flexible Options: We understand that flexibility is key, which is why we offer a range of package options. Choose from Drop-Ins, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month packages to suit your schedule and commitment level.
We have great options for our Hybrid Indoor and Beach Players too: Our hard-court indoor players gain from beach training as it offers the perfect cross training environment. A beach player does it all, pass, set, block, and hit. If you are weak in any of these areas, beach forces you to work on all skills which helps you become a well-rounded volleyball player. Since beach has become a collegiate sport, coaches are encouraging youth to play beach to help them dramatically improve their indoor game
