GCVA COACHES

·         We are the largest and one of the most respected Outdoor volleyball Association on the Gulf Coast/United States.  This is our 19th year of beach/sand volleyball. 

·         Our coaches have been playing beach volleyball for years, most growing up playing the sport. Coaches include Travis Clifford, Mel Mungle-Wardlow, Rachel Morales

·         Practice Up to 5 hours a week.

·         Coaches will start with basic rules, basic strategies and proceed to more advanced techniques as the players progress.

·         Coaches give individual and group training throughout the Summer Season through drills, demonstrations, game like situations and team play. 

·         The ultimate goal is to train the players who want to play College Sand Doubles at the NCAA level.  A secondary goal is to give players skills that they can take back indoors like ball control, offense &defensive strategies, fitness and endurance which come with sand volleyball training.
