PA SANDBLAZERS
Our winter training program is designed for competitive female athletes (grades 7–12) looking to develop their skills in 2-on-2 beach volleyball. Training will be held indoors on hard court, with outdoor sand sessions at Wilson Farm Park when weather permits.
Players will train in a team environment but focus on individual skill development. Tournament play is optional, and athletes can choose their own partners for events.
