USA Volleyball’s Beach Collegiate National Team (BCNT) program offers exceptional development opportunities for top collegiate volleyball athletes. BCNT experiences bring together the best athletes from across the country. At the beginning of each year, collegiate coaches have an opportunity to nominate elite performers both from their schools and from other collegiate programs.
Elite collegiate performers who are eligible to play and compete for the United States are then invited to train to train and compete against each other, while receiving training under the guidance of some of the country’s best coaches. Athletes in the program receive feedback and online learning experiences to help support their overall health and well-being. The training is aligned with the expectations of the U.S. Beach National Team coaching and performance staff.
The Beach Collegiate National Team is used for consideration for selection of age for age group national teams.
Athletes who wish to be considered for the Beach Collegiate National Team, are enrolled in college and are not currently competing (beach and/or indoor) on behalf of their universities can email [email protected] and express their desire to be a part of the program.
