USA Beach Junior Program

The USA Beach Volleyball program offers tournaments and camps to athletes ages ten to twenty. The mission of the USA Beach Junior Program is to grow the sport at the grass roots level and identify the country's top athletes for elite competition.

The thirteen-city USA Beach National Tour is open to all two person teams, and gives players an opportunity to enjoy the sport at the best beaches around the country. The tournaments are self administrated similar to junior golf and tennis, where players coach and officiate their own games. This format presents athletes the opportunity to play for the true love of the game, without interference from adults! Tournaments are generally one day, with pool play followed by playoffs and awards.

USA Beach Camps are open to all players of all skill levels, with groups divided by skill level from beginning through advanced. The USA Beach Camps feature high level coaches prepared for all levels of players, and mix spirited competition with fun drills that vastly improve the level of play of all players. The camps present a great chance for high level players to earn an invitation to try out for the USA Beach National Team.

The USA Beach International Selection Camp (ISC), for players in the U18 and U20 divisions, is held in the spring or early summer each year and selects the USA Beach National Team. Players are invited based on performance at National Tour tournaments and USA Beach Camps. Members of the USA Beach National Team represent the United Sates at the FIVB Junior and Youth World Championships.

The USA Beach Junior Program is sanctioned by USA Volleyball , the National Governing Body of Volleyball in the United States and operated by the Elevation Group of Companies. For more information, contact Denny Lennon at or call 866.770.4606.
