WHAT IS EVJ BEACH?

EVJ Beach is our seasonal outdoor training and competition program designed to elevate all-around volleyball skills in a fun, high-rep sand environment.

Open to boys and girls (ages 11U–16U), EVJ Beach offers:

• A structured Spring Training Program (April–June)
• A summer series of 2v2 tournaments (May–July)

Whether you’re new to the beach or cross-training from indoor, this program builds better ball control, court vision, and confidence.

WHY BEACH VOLLEYBALL?

Beach is the perfect mix of reps, movement, and fun. Our format helps athletes:

• Sharpen ball control and game sense
• Improve mobility and decision-making
• Train in a low-contact, high-intensity environment
• Compete alongside friends in a 2-player format

“EVJ Beach isn’t just about playing in the sand — it’s where athletes grow their game, find their confidence, and have fun doing it.”
— Tayler Peterson & Ryann Simmons, Lead Trainers
