Welcome to Walker Beach! Walker Beach strives to provide exposure to beach volleyball through strong fundamental development. As the sport of beach volleyball continues to grow at an amazing pace, we hope to provide every volleyball player the opportunity to train in the sand and reap the benefits of beach volleyball. We look forward to seeing you in the sand!
University of Arizona Head Coaches Dave Rubio and Steve Walker weigh in on the benefits of sand volleyball for indoor players:
"I have seen the advantages my indoor players have gained by playing Beach Volleyball. Their fundamentals, ability to anticipate and make in game decisions, and their fitness have all benefited. For those players who have a desire to improve their indoor game in an exciting and challenging environment, I highly recommend they play Beach Volleyball." -Dave Rubio, Former Head Coach and Director of Volleyball at The University of Arizona
"Having gone through four complete seasons with the beach program here at The University of Arizona, the amount of improvement shown in our players' all around game has been tremendous. The beach game requires all players to be able to pass, set, defend, serve and hit while covering the court with only two players. It's been great to see players who were once so specialized in a single role/position on the indoor side really improve their skills and show increased confidence as complete volleyball players." -Steve Walker, Head Sand Volleyball Coach and former Indoor Associate Head Coach at the University of Arizona
