Youngsters interested in learning or improving beach volleyball skills can do so at one USA Volleyball’s Beach Development or Pee Wee Beach camps this summer.

USAV Beach Development Camps are three-day grass-roots camps for boys and girls ages 12-18. They are designed for beach volleyball athletes of all skill levels.

Camps will be led by USAV Beach Department staff and select athletes and coaches from the AVP and FIVB tours.

With an 8:1 camper to coach ratio, emphasis will be placed on individual and small group instruction including skill development, technique, beach strategy, combating the elements, fun, and competition.

The final day will include a half-day tournament with prizes awarded. Each camper will receive a written evaluation and will be added to the USAV beach athlete pipeline database. Coast for this is $250 an athlete. 

USA Volleyball’s Pee Wee Beach Camps are aimed at introducing the sport to kids ages 7-12 with little to no beach experience.

Camps consist of three, two-hour sessions that run alongside the Development Camps.

Pee Wee Beach Camps are limited to to hours daily with emphasis on having fun, developing motor skills, and experiencing an age-appropriate version of the game. Pee Wee Beach Camps are open to all kids ages 7-12. Coast for this is $100 an athlete.
