BVCA Travel Tournaments
To give our club more opportunities to gain points towards BVCA Championships in July, we will be traveling to select BVCA tournaments in the fall, winter, and spring. The coaches will be evaluating players at practices, and offering spots to represent Bodhi based on work ethic, attitude, and skill level. These squads might look different from one tourney to the next due to availability of athletes.
New this year: Bodhi Beach will look to have a squad in the Open Division, Club Division, (and possible Futures division).
*BVCA Championship squads will be chosen in June 2026
Weekly Practice Sessions
Bodhi Rookies – Intro to Beach Volleyball
Our Bodhi Rookies program is for boys and girls in 5th through 8th grade who are brand new to the beach game. This is a fun, foundational 4-week training series that introduces young athletes to the basics of the beach game in a positive, supportive environment.
Each session runs once a week on Sundays 1:30-3:00 pm at College of Marin, giving athletes a chance to build skills, learn the rules, and gain confidence on the sand.
Small group format: Sessions are capped at 12 athletes to ensure lots of personalized instruction.
Ongoing opportunities: A new 4-week session will begin each month through December, so athletes can join at any point in the year or continue with multiple sessions as they grow.
Perfect for kids curious about beach volleyball, looking to build a solid athletic foundation, and/or wanting to advance into the Bodhi Intermediate program.
