They've been making consistent progress and are learning so much about beach volleyball in such a fun, supportive environment. Their skills have improved dramatically, from serving and passing. More importantly, their confidence has grown. Adam and Crystal are truly awesome. They communicate clearly and consistently, keeping parents in the loop while creating a welcoming vibe for everyone. All the coaches are incredibly encouraging. They make every kid feel seen, valued, and motivated, no matter their skill level. It's clear they genuinely care about each player's growth, both as athletes and as people."

  • "Black Sand is the epitome of what beach volleyball should be, a community. Not only do I look forward to to always having a good time playing at the high level that Black Sand cultivates, but I am constantly growing under the coaching of Coach Adam and the rest of his amazing coaches. Black Sand coaches truly care for every player meeting them where they’re at and helping them grow in their playing instantaneously. I am so thankful to be under the coaching of Coach Adam who sees the game in a wholistic way from serving technique down to the way we think about our mistakes and successes. Blank Sand has expanded my community and knowledge of the game ever since the first practice."
