2011 Buckeye Volleyball Club  
 Girls Junior Beach Volleyball

       2012 Buckeye Volleyball Club
      Girls Junior Beach Volleyball

This program will help players both physically and mentally for the
game of indoor volleyball. With so much ground to cover for two
players, the teams will learn how to implement ball control and correct
body positioning into their game. Through the training in the sand,
players will improve strength, endurance, and vertical ability. The
game is a wonderful off-season training option as the sand absorbs
impact and is better on joints. Furthermore, this program alleviates the
burnout of playing indoor year round.

This year we are going to offer conditioning before practice.  We are
separating the conditioning part of the program to give players the
option  of doing one or the other.  We had a number of players who
wanted to do the conditioning only.  This year Brad Sealock and
Lauren Sealock will be helping with the conditioning program.

Buckeye Volleyball Club Junior Beach Program will cover the cost of
Practice, Coaching and the OVR Championships.  Parents and
players will play for tournaments they decide to enter during the
summer beach season.  This will allow flexibility for vacation's and
other activities.  You can enter 2 tournament or 5 tournaments.  You
have the ability to control your tournament schedule around family
events.

How is Beach Volleyball different than indoor?
Indoor teams consist of 6 players on the court, compared to Beach,
where there are 2 players per court. On the beach, there are no
specializations like libero or setter, so every player must be capable of
performing every skill. This makes for a more well rounded, better
player in the long run. Moving and playing volleyball in the sand can
be very difficult. Going from indoor to beach is difficult and requires
an adjustment period. However, you will return to indoor as a much
stronger player! Beach builds quick twitch muscle fibers, especially in
your legs. When you get back to playing indoor volleyball, you will be
much quicker laterally and stronger vertically (your hops will improve).
Training in the sand will definitely improve the player’s mobility,
stamina, and mental focus.  

Nationally, USA Volleyball has become the sanctioning body for sand
volleyball and is now mandating all USAV regions begin the process
of developing sand volleyball clubs and competition opportunities for
its memebers.  Year in and year out, the OVR is one of the largest
regions in the country.  USA BEACH is looking to us to set the
standard for strong, organized sand volleyball programs in the
Midwest.

Beginning August 1st, 2011 at the collegiate level, the NCAA has
officially approved Womens's Sand Volleyball as an emerging
collegiate varsity sport.  Division I and II colleges and universities will
now have the opportunity to recruit and give scholarships to sand
volleyball student athletes like they currently offer indoor volleyball
student athletes.
