The #1 in beach instruction is coming to The State Of Nevada

Since 2016, we've coached many hundreds of players to playing more skillfully, holding their own in competitive games, and even winning tournaments:

This Training Is For You If You Want To..

..Unlock new levels of skills — FAST

The Better at Beach staff's coach's eye—developed over 1000s of hours working with players of every level—will have you practicing according to your strengths & potentials.

When you join us in New Orleans, we'll guide you to breakthroughs in your beach volleyball technique in the shortest amount of time.

..Install the best habits, increase volleyball IQ & get a winning mindset

On top of the most effective drills we've found for improving your technique, there's more pieces to the puzzle making you a complete player:

• winning habits
• understand & use successful strategies and tactics in beach volleyball
• the mental game

Which is why your schedule will have daily Mental Sessions—so that you can also master these game-changing other skills.

..Make amazing new Volleyball Friends

We're always amazed at the new connections that spring from any of our camps and clinics.

The beach volleyball community is a great family, and chances are you'll come away from this experience with a bunch of new friends—even life-long ones—and training buddies or future tournament partners.

Juniors Welcome!

Juniors aged 14-18 can absolutely, no problem, take part in the camp. If you want your young one to participate in the volleyball training, then of course!

We get a bunch of teenagers every year.

Just know in advance that while we do have some teenagers, the majority of the campers are adults and no matter what age, we group players by skill. Some work well when surrounded by adults. Others, maybe not.

Be aware of your child's maturity level, because this isn't a juniors-only event.
