'25 Junior's Beach Training - Summer 2025

Bumpy Pickle Beach is offering a (12) week, summer beach volleyball training and conditioning program for junior girls & boys ages 10 & up. All practices are held weekly, at our facility May 30th through August 11th, 7:00pm to 9:00pm on Monday* evenings & 9:00am to 11:00am Friday* mornings.

A FREE, play-around & meet the coaches event will be Saturday May 24th from 6pm to 10pm. The whole family is welcome to come out and decide if this is something their player is interested in. (2) tournaments are also included, but participation is optional. These will be June 27th/28th and Aug 1st/2nd. +We are reserving two days to have some flexibility on exact date once we know total team count, or if we need to have two pools.

Training for 2 vs 2 beach volleyball has several benefits, the most obvious is the increased amount of plays you are involved in. Players will be touching and reacting to every other ball. This helps to round out an overall set of skills versus single position training, develops greater communication between teammates and requires players to execute both defensively and offensively. The uneven and varying traction provided by the sand means your lower body is getting a workout the entire time. Players returning to indoor after a summer of beach often say they feel better, stronger moving on indoor courts.

The total cost is $500** 

All participants will receive 2 logo'd tank tops that extend below waistline. Players will be responsible for remainder of their preferred clothing. Sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottle (no glass), towel, visor or hats should be considered. The outdoor elements of beach volleyball can often be a huge factor for transitioning players. Be prepared.

*Available days of the week may increase/decrease based on total number of participants.

**Players will be required to bring a suitable beach volleyball to all practices. If you have one already, perfect, bring that! We prefer FIVB Official Beach Elite volleyball by Molten V5B5000, AVP OPTX or NCAA OPTX by Wilson. These are available through our checkout, or you can buy from your favorite retailer later. Old indoor balls are not suitable and are too light. If you aren't sure, please ask before spending money on a "bad" beach volleyball.
