Many of our indoor players have benefited greatly from sand volleyball. Gary & Lisa have groomed and coached a Nationally ranked indoor club team from the North West. All of them went on to play at Division 1 schools including, USC, ASU, and Uof O. I believe the previous summers of sand volleyball training played a significant role in our team's success. The girls simply LOVE playing sand volleyball and can't get enough of it! Our daughter Brooke Van Sickle currently plays indoor and sand volleyball for top ranked University of Hawaii. GO Bows!
