Why Beach?
This program helps players both physically and mentally for the game of indoor volleyball. With so much ground to cover for two players, the teams learn how to incorporate ball control and correct body positioning into their game. Through training in the sand, players 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.
More Information
Nationally, USA Volleyball has become the sanctioning body for beach volleyball, and is now mandating all USAV regions begin the process of developing beach volleyball clubs and competition opportunities for its members. 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 beach volleyball programs in the Midwest.
Colleges and Universities Approve Beach Volleyball
Beginning August 1st, 2011 at the collegiate level, the NCAA has officially approved Women's Beach 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 beach volleyball student athletes like they currently offer indoor volleyball student athletes. Coaches will be looking for players that are proficient in both beach and indoor to compete for their universities.
2019 OVR Beach Volleyball Series
The OVR Summer Beach Series will be held in various cities every weekend. Players and Parents will also have the option of attending a local tournament being held by Buckeye or another club in the city. Only OVR Tournaments will be worth points but we do realize that not everyone will want to travel all over the state for tournaments and would rather play a local event that will be sanctioned by the OVR.
