June Kick Off...
Summer seemed a little late compared to years past as we've been blessed with such a early spring. With that, to spite solid forcasts for rain over each event day in June, the beach weather gods must of been shinning down on us as all June events were focasted for heavy rainfall which never ended up materializing.
June featured Beach 4 Life's first ever Student Beach Clinic, followed by our first Senior Tour Event on June 16, followed by our first Senior & Youth Tour combo event taking place on June 22 and sponsored by FXR Racing, with June wrapping up with our Countryfest Beach Venue. Beach 4 Life is extremely dedicated to providing as many opportunities for all ages & abilities to learn, develop, and enjoy the sport of beach volleyball.
By starting June off with our Student Beach Clinic, our aim is to introduce for those new and expand for those already exposed the sport to as many Jr. High & Senior High School athletes. As beach volleyball posses many different rules one must be aware of on the beach compared to indoor volleyball, athletes are required to be aware of these rules, not to mention the additional restrictions physically one expereinces running around in the sand on a hot sunny day. Whether an athlete is new to the sport, or looking for a competitive and developmental advantage to an upcoming indoor season, beach volleyball is a very enjoyable & beneficial sport. Beach 4 Life will be looking to provide additional clinics next summer, please stay tuned on our website and at your local schools for information regarding our 2014 clinics.
June 16 saw the first of many Senior Tour events take place. Dusting off the beach game, most players were seeing the beach court for the first time.
