Better at Beach Volleyball Clinics

Been eyeing an upcoming clinic hosted by Better At Beach Volleyball in my city. Love their YouTube content and been wanting to get in on a proper clinic.

Anyone have experience or a review on what they put on? 3 day all day clinic, $599 total.

I’d say I’m a BB level player so I’d hope I’d be able to take advantage of their coaching just wanted to hear opinions on the value before proceeding.

Kelly Cheng going through three different partners in three seasons and somehow landing in the strongest position of her career is impressive as hell

Hughes in 2024. Shaw in 2025. Now Kraft in 2026 — and Kraft led all women in aces per set last season on top of ranking second in digs. Two of the best servers and defenders on the women's side, on the same team.

Three straight seasons of partnership changes should probably slow a player down. Instead Cheng keeps finding ways to qualify and compete. Straight sets over Rodriguez/Shaw in the Qualifier 2 women's final, 18-16 15-7. That second set wasn't even close.

The women's side of the 2026 League feels genuinely open in a way it hasn't in a while. Humana-Paredes/Wilkerson are back, Denaburg/Donlin are defending League champions, and now Cheng/Kraft are coming in with this kind of early form. Should be a fun summer.

At what level does it actually become mandatory to have a dedicated blocker?

I play in a lot of "high B" and "low A" level pickups. We usually play two-back defense because most hitters at this level aren't consistent enough to bounce balls anyway. But every once in a while, we get a tall guy who insists on camping at the net, even if he’s not getting touches.

In my experience, a bad block is way worse than no block at all because it just creates a blind spot for the defender. What’s your personal threshold for when you tell your partner to start peeling every time? Is it based on the opponent's height, or just how hard they can swing?

Brooklyn Beach

Visiting NY for a week and would love to play some pick up or something. The court at domino park is there any specific times where pick up happens out there? Or anyone want to get a game going? Or any cool courts I should check out across the city?

How similar is Harukana Receive to real beach vollyballl.

So I just started watching Harukana Receive and it is so good but the problem I thought is how similar is it to the real sport like can I learn like the rules and the things in the game enough to watch a real match like a olympic match.
