It's early in the 2015 Beach volleyball season, but we are already seeing athletes taking advantage of their early season training by posting some impressive results in the early season qualifier tournaments. Keep up the hard work everyone and keep doing a great job of representing when you head out to play.

 Cyrene and Deahna have won an AVPNext Series event, an Alki U18 event and finished top of the silver division at an Alki Women's Open event!  

 Bailey and Maya have won bids on back to back weekends!  In Las Vegas, the girls won the U16 division and a bid to the AAU Junior Olympics.  The following weekend in Vancouver, WA they won the U16 Division of the Pacific Northwest Open and a bid to the USA Junior Beach Tour National Championships!

Logan and Elizabeth won the U12 Division of the Pacific Northwest Open and qualified for the USA Junior Beach Tour National Championships.  The weekend before they posted two runner up finishes in U14 events and a fifth place finish in a U18 event.  Not too shabby for a couple of 11 year olds!

Maya and Bailey Invaded the 2014 USA Beach Holiday Elite Skills Camp in Florida

Over the winter break, Maya and Bailey headed East to take part in the USA Beach Volleyball Elite Skills Camp.  In addition to getting to compete against some of the top U17 and U19 athletes in the country, Maya and Bailey had the opportunity to catch up with some old friends and make new ones.

In order to be part of the USA Beach Volleyball National High Performance Program, athletes need to be selected at an open tryout.  Maya and Bailey both attended the tryouts in Portland last year and were selected to attend summer camps, as well as the holiday training camp.

Congrats ladies.  Word on the street is that you did a great job representing the Puget Sound Region and Beach VBC.  We're proud to have you out there showing the rest of the country what Beach Volleyball in the Pacific Northwest is all about.  

More information is coming soon about how you can become part of the USA Beach Volleyball High Performance Pipeline.
