We’re thrilled to have an amazing group of talented players this season! If you haven’t heard, our club team is back in Huntington Beach for the 2024-2025 season, offering a fantastic opportunity for Southern California players to showcase their skills.
The season kicked off with an exciting two-day tournament. The team came out strong, and although they didn’t take the top spot, they certainly made us proud. With Coach Miller’s expert guidance, we’re excited for a great season!
The SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, transformed into a vibrant arena for the SoFi Volleyball Tournament. With seven courts set up right on the field, the stadium buzzed with energy as young athletes from across Southern California showcased their skills.
Jayden Whitmarsh and Devon Newberry, both UCLA Women’s Beach National Champions and current AVP players, were in attendance to encourage the kids, sign autographs and to take photos with each team.
The event not only provided a platform for competition but also a unique experience, playing in a professional stadium, igniting dreams and aspirations for USYVL Advanced Juniors.
The “Volley Guard” Juniors took part in the 10th Annual Jr 6-Man on Sunday, August 4, 2024 in Manhattan Beach, CA. Consistent with Charlie Saikley’s original vision, the beach tournament encourages young athletes to engage in the sport. The day’s highlight was the opportunity to meet and take photographs with Olympian Reid Priddy.
Place one player on one side of the net and another on the other side, on the 10-foot line.
One player will toss the ball over to the other player on the other side of the net.
That player will attempt to pass, set, and spike in a controlled manner to the player across the net.
This is a miniature game staying in the vicinity of the 10-foot line.
You can add more teams along the net, up to three to four, so they each have enough room.
This is a great training tool for working on the fundamentals, ball control and hand eye coordination.
