2020 Beach Volleyball

Xceleration welcomes you to our 2020 Beach Volleyball Program. We hope that you can join us this year for an exciting way to spend your summer on the beach, as well as continue your off-season volleyball conditioning in a fun way.
For our beach volleyball season, no tryouts are required! We have extended the summer beach camp sessions that will begin on Monday, August 10, and runs for 4 weeks through September 4 (12 sessions).

This program will focus on fundamental training and concentrate on individual skills. We will teach each and every athlete the fundamentals of passing, serving (overhand and introduce jump serving), and hitting.

August 10 - September 7: Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Please note that Coach Rob Browning will not be coaching the high school age group due to NCAA dead-period restrictions. St. Mary’s student-athletes will coach this older group.
​
Sessions for the Beach Program will be held at:
Moraga Commons Park
1425 St. Mary’s Road, Moraga, CA 94556

Registration for all Santa Cruz events, both junior and adult, open four weeks and one day before the event date. This is to ensure all players have an equal opportunity to participate. 

Partners 
Some of you have might have already identified a playing partner, others have not. We will help partner you up with a teammate if you don't have a partner. If you did not register with a partner, but you now know who you would like to pair with, please let beach staff know.  
 
Items to consider for practice: 
  • Water bottle, snack, hand towel, hat, and sunscreen 
  • Sunglasses and Sand Socks. Bring sunglasses and sand socks to every session. Beach volleyball players wear sunglasses and sand socks for a reason. You might not need them every session but bring them to every session. The eye protection is especially important. It's not just a competitive advantage, but it protects your eyes. You don't need expensive sunglasses.  
 
Attire for practices:
  • Tanks, T-shirt, spandex, shorts or leggings are considered practice attire. 
  • Please don’t wear bikini tops or bottoms.  
 
Beach Uniforms 
  • Uniforms will be ordered for full time participants. 
  • We are currently working with a vendor on this upcoming season's design. If you are considering participating in a tournament prior to availability of uniforms, teams can participate in matching tanks and bottoms.
