Are you looking to bring your ability to play all aspects of volleyball to life? Or looking for a game in which you get to make the decisions, not the coach? Beach volleyball is the answer. Email or call us for more information.
At TMP Beach, players develop an entire set of skills, not just a particular or specialized position. Players touch the ball every play at least one time because they are involved in every volley in every set, acting as passers, setters AND hitters in a single volley. In addition to the foundational skills and techniques, offensive and defensive strategies are effectively honed and curated. Mental fortitude is challenged and strengthened. The higher level performances are tied to personal growth and achievement, rather than a score or a coaches goal.
Karch Kiraly, author of Beach Volleyball and the current head coach for the women’s indoor National Team, speaks directly to why outdoor players make better indoor players: “More and more, indoor players are specializing. For example, a 6’10” guy (or a 6’3″ girl) today will probably be put at the net to hit and block. There’s a good chance they will be taken out of the serve reception entirely, thereby given a very limited opportunity to defend, if at all. They will never set the ball unless it comes to him by accident. In contrast, that same big is going to learn defense and ball control in the sand, whether they want to or not.” The opposite also holds true for shorter or back row indoor players – they do not get a chance to attack or swing, as they are are usually taken out for taller players.
