TAKE YOUR GAME to the NEXT LEVEL with

BELIEVE BEACH!

Beach doubles is now an NCAA sport and a great opportunity to cross-train for the indoor game.  

Olympic Head Coach and Gold Medalist Karch Kiraly recommends beach for all players. According to Karch, "It's easier to take your outdoor skills into the gym than bring your indoor skills outside. Simple reason. Beach forces you to have all the skills! That's why I think every player should play beach. Learning those skills will help improve a player's indoor performance."

Believe Beach has consistently produced top doubles teams both in the Rocky Mountain Region and nationally.  Since our inaugural season in 2013, several of our Believe Beach alumna have received beach scholarships for both NCAA Division 1 and NJCAA schools. In 2018, three Believe Beach teams finished in the top 10 teams in the nation in the 16U, 14U, and 12U age groups at the USAV Junior National Beach Championships. Adding to those achievements, 8 Believe Beach teams have won gold, silver, and bronze medals at the USAV Jr. Regional Open Sand tournament (including boys and girls teams); a gold and silver medal at AAU Beach Qualifiers; and 13 bids to the USAV Jr. National Beach Championships and AAU Beach Nationals.  In addition to sand, Believe Beach has been just as successful in grass tournaments, winning 6 championships at the Steamboat Doubles tournament and 5 championships at the King of the Mountain Tournament in Vail. Believe Beach teams have also achieved numerous 1st place finishes in the RMR Beach Series tournaments and Volleyball of the Rockies tournaments as well as winning Princess of the Beach.

The coaching staff at Believe Beach will focus on the technical training aspect of the game so your athlete will gain knowledge and experience in performing the necessary skills and strategies of doubles volleyball. We train in both the sand and grass.  We also offer conditioning sessions that will develop the level of fitness required to increase speed, agility, and vertical jump for both the indoor and outdoor game.

Believe Beach Private and Doubles Pair Lessons!

This is a separate program that you can participate in whether or not you are signed up for the full Believe Beach program.

Beach Lessons can be individual (private) or up to two doubles pairs and will be provided by Believe Beach Head Coach Jessica Martinez! Here is some information about Jessica:

Jessica Martinez started her volleyball career at age 11 and her love for the sport followed quickly after. She started playing club volleyball when living in Los Angeles, CA. Jessica and her family moved to Colorado the summer going into her sophomore year of high school. While playing as a 6 rotation OH in high school, she found Believe VBC through a school teammate. She started with Believe when she was 15 years old playing for the 16-1s team. She played three seasons training under Coach Shawn and Coach Jordan.

Jessica played indoor volleyball from 6th grade through her senior year at Ponderosa HS. Ending her high school career with an undefeated season and 2nd place trophy at the state championships in 2014. Jessica started playing for Believe Beach beginning with their inaugural season in 2013.  She loved both indoor and beach volleyball but knew her passion was to play beach in college. Because beach was just breaking ground in many universities, she decided to take the opportunity to play at a Feather River Junior College in Quincy, Ca. Her freshman year she played as a 2s pair in the program and made a state championship appearance finishing in the Sweet 16. Her sophomore year she played as a dual athlete on both indoor and beach volleyball teams. She played as a DS/libero for FRC assisting her team in an undefeated season and making it to the Sweet 16. She played on the 1s pair for the FRC beach program going undefeated in conference. As captain, she helped lead her team to the Northern California Conference championships and took 4th in state. She competed in the Individual Pairs State Championship and was ranked #1 in the state. She finished her junior college career in the Elite 8 Pairs, with an All State Award, MVP Award and 4 State championship banners. Jessica, as a scholarship athlete, made the transition to play Division 1 Beach volleyball for the University of Central Arkansas whose program was ranked in the top 30. During her junior year, Jessica floated between the 1s, 2s, and 3s pairings competing against some of the top 15 programs in the nation. For her final year of eligibility, she lead UCA’s program as a Team Captain on the 2s and 3s pair.

Some of her career highlights include earning bids to the USAV National Beach Tour 3 years in a row and an opportunity to be coached by 3X Olympic Gold medalist, Misty May-Treanor. Jessica also earned a slot on the first ever Colorado High Performance Beach volleyball team and was the 2nd person in the State of Colorado to receive a scholarship to play beach volleyball. She has made lifelong friendships with teammates at Believe VBC/Beach. Every summer during college Jessica has come back home to Colorado and coached with Believe Beach.

After earning her degree in Nutrition, Jessica was offered a position as Assistant Beach Coach at UCA. In January 2021 she moved back to Colorado and is currently working full time as an insurance claims specialist.  In addition to being the Rocky Mountain Region Beach Volleyball Chairman, Jessica coaches indoor and outdoor for Believe Volleyball Club. She loves being able to give back to the club and coaches that poured into her as an athlete and Christian. She hopes to be a role model as to what it means to be a competitive female athlete and share her love for Jesus to young players.

We are offering this to everyone so that athletes can prepare for either their high school, their collegiate, or doubles seasons!
