Spring Sand Season
The Spring Sand Program is designed to both introduce players to the sport of beach volleyball and offer more experienced players the best way to prepare for the upcoming Summer Season. Each practice, players will be assigned to a court based on skill level and experience to challenge each athlete relative to their current ability. Training sessions for all courts will incorporate both skill-specific drills and high-intensity game-like training to develop skilled and competitive sand athletes.
No tryout is necessary to join the Spring Sand Program, and players are not required to have a partner to attend practices or register for the program. Our Spring Program is open for registration to all 5th–8th grade players, regardless of whether you trained with us during the Fall or Summer.
Summer Sand Season
Our boys' and girls' Summer Sand programs focus on skill development and preparation for competition. We offer both a Local and Competitive program to meet the training and competitive needs of all our athletes. Following our Kickoffs in May, players will be assigned to a training group consisting of 12–16 players. Training groups will be determined based on each player's skill, experience, and practice schedule preferences.
MVVC will host four tournaments during the summer season, which are free to join for our Summer Sand athletes. We also provide coaching at regional tournaments hosted by CBVA, p1440, AAU, and others. All tournaments and competitions are optional and open to all players, regardless of the program they are in.
Fall Sand Season
Our Fall Sand Season primarily focuses on individual skill camps and clinics, as well as our Youth/Futures program. For players interested in additional training during the fall, small group lessons are available and can be scheduled by contacting Lake Merchen at lake@mvvclub.com.
What is the Financial Commitment?
We are committed to designing our programs to remain as flexible as possible to accommodate athletes who participate in both indoor and sand volleyball. The Spring and Summer Sand Program fees account for the expectation that all players will miss 2–3 weeks of training throughout the course of the season.
Spring Program Fees
Fees for the Spring Program range from $350 to $600 and include all training sessions and MVVC-hosted competitions.
Summer Sand Program Costs
The Summer Sand Program costs $700 - $900 depending on the program. The fees include all
training and access to our tournaments hosted at West Valley College and Valley Church in
Cupertino.
Private + Small Group Lessons
Players interested in additional training through individual or small group lessons (2–6 players) should contact Sand Club Director Lake Merchen at lake@mvvclub.com.
