Thunder Beach
No LImits, Just Sand
UBC THUNDER BEACH 2025
We are excited to announce our Thunder Beach summer dates! Our summer beach programs are meant to provide flexibility to families (as we understand summer is a time for families to spend time together) while still providing high performance training to those who want to continue with a focus on beach volleyball throughout the summer! Please note that these programs are intended for those who have some volleyball experience (beach and/or indoor) we will only be able to provide a beginner option if we have enough interest.
Why Thunder Beach?
Key aspects of our program philosophy are:
- Top Tier Coaching: We have solidified a strong group of experienced and returning coaches for the spring and summer. We ensure a small coach athlete ratio to enhance learning and individual attention.
- High Performance training and support: We are expanding to provide elite programming for those with the skill and interest in competitive beach with additional physical and mental training. We group courts by ability and age.
- Cross-training and entry-level training: Indoor focused players with limited time can benefit from beach training. Younger players with little or no beach experience can learn beach and improve their indoor skills. Our schedule is set up to provide athletes the opportunity to include other activities and recovery from the club season.
- Fun and Competition: Create an enjoyable learning environment and the chance to connect with players and coaches.
- Value and flexibility: Players can train 1, 2 or 3 days a week, especially as they recover from the indoor season. We recognize the costs continue to rise for competitive athletics and we aim to keep our fees reasonable. Please contact Brenda Chinn if you have any financial concerns. blchinn@telus.net
