FPVC BEACH 2026

Fun Fact! The transfer of skills between indoor and beach are closer than any other two CIF sports! While still  completely different games, indoor and beach rely on explosive movements and techniques that benefit both sports. Additionally, with only 2 players playing an entire match and less coach intervention, beach allows players to develop the internal motivation, self awareness, and coachability needed to excel at the next level. 

Beach Volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports in the country. It also is one of the best known methods for improving indoor performance. An athlete learns to move more fluidly on a court, develops court awareness, and the sand leads to significant improvements in physical condition and jumping ability. More importantly, with burnout and injury statistics at an all time high, the benefit of playing a different sport during the off season that still greatly correlates to indoor volleyball cannot be stressed enough. 

"It’s easier to take your outdoor skills into the gym than to bring your indoor skills outside. Simple reason. Beach volleyball forces you to have all the skills. That’s why I think it’s a good idea for indoor players to play on the beach. . . . Learning those skills can only help improve a player’s indoor performance. All my years playing on the beach as a kid certainly helped my indoor game. If nothing else, a player’s quickness and jump will be increased by playing on soft sand."
