As of Friday, June 5th, Snohomish county is now in Phase 2. 

This means we can begin our beach club training. We will begin training on Monday JUNE 15. This will give us adequate time to finish preparations at Bottega, properly train our staff, and fully prepare for beach training in a modified Phase 2 format. Because of the new protocols released by the Governor's office on June 5, we want to make sure we are in compliance of all DOH recommendations for reopening for business. 

For those of you that have reserved your spots, please be on the lookout in your email for an update with registration information.  The Practice Schedule is posted: https://www.nwvolleyball.com/beachpractice

We look forward to seeing you the week of June 15.

6/14/2020 BEACH CLUB IS FULL - WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS!

We are taking reservations for our Beach Club. This will allow players to reserve their spot this year. It is open enrollment, but we have a limited number of spaces because of current crowd and training group limits.

We will use your registration form and beach experience to assign training groups. We WILL NOT COLLECT any money until we are 100% sure of our start date.

• Safety and cleaning guidelines will be in place as athletes train. These will be outlined to each participant as we get closer to our start date. Protocols will include, but will not be limited to temperature checks, waivers, cleaning protocols for players and equipment and more.
• We will have a 30 minute buffer between training groups to allow for one group of players to leave before the next group takes the court.

Stories from our Beach: Jeremy Casebeer:
From growing up in Santa Barbara to playing years of beach volleyball in Hermosa, Jeremy Casebeer thought he knew a lot about the game he loved. After his first practice in Brazil, he was amazed by the pace of play and realized there was so much more to learn.

Listen to why Jeremy continues to play year round, splitting his time between Hermosa and Rio to become a full-time student of the game.
