"Hartmann Beach Volleyball Academy started as a way to get my kids off the couch and get them to exercise. As the word got out, I have been very fortunate to have other parents give me the opportunity to coach/mentor their children."
Originally, I started just teaching my children and a few of their friends the game of volleyball. After 20+ years of professional experience, I felt that I could offer something few others can.
I received my Safe Sport Certificate from the USAV which took me through the steps to properly and safely teach children/young adults. I then proceeded to get my Beach Coaching Accredited Program Certificate (B-Cap) which taught me how to communicate the game properly to kids and to teach with safe and educational training methods.
TRAIning classes
There are many great athletes out there. Some play for fun, some really want to excel, and some play to win.
I coach them ALL.
beginner/INTERMEDIATE
Beginner class is for players who have never played the game or have played but never been taught the proper technique. It is for players who would like to be introduced to the sport to see if volleyball is for them. We will go over the basics: passing, setting, hitting, and serving.
Intermediate is for players who have had some coaching, played some indoor, or have played at least 1 year of beach volleyball. Overhand serving and passing is not yet consistent.
Offered for ages 13 - 18, coed, Wednesdays and Fridays from 5:00-6:30 PM. $20 per athlete.
ADVANCED
Advanced is for players who have played at least 1 year competitive indoor or 2 person beach volleyball tournaments (eg. Dig The Beach). They can overhand serve consistently and pass the ball to a target. They will learn the true game of 2 person advanced beach volleyball increasing their beach volleyball IQ. We will go over positioning and strategy. This class is for serious players who would like to play tournaments.
Offered for ages 13 - 18, coed, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:00-8:30 PM. $20 per athlete.
