The Next Level Beach Volleyball program is designed to introduce young athletes to the fundamentals of competitive beach volleyball in a fun, challenging, and developmentally appropriate environment. This program targets youth athletes with little to no prior experience, while intentionally incorporating structured competition to accelerate skill development. Athletes will build strong technical foundations, learn game strategy, and develop confidence through guided drills and match play.
Our coaching staff features dedicated Stanford Beach Volleyball student-athletes who bring a wealth of knowledge and competitive experience. Consistent with Next Level’s tradition, every team benefits from the guidance of a student-athlete mentor, ensuring personalized instruction and a strong sense of connection and inspiration for participants.

League Operations
- Season Operations: The Next Level Girls Beach Volleyball program at Stanford will run with 6 program dates over the program schedule.
- Program Dates: Training/games are on the same day - parents need only allocate up to a 2-hour window of availability for their child's involvement.
- Program Details: This program is focused primarily on instructional skill development, providing athletes with targeted training and structured drills to build a strong foundation in volleyball fundamentals. Players will have ample opportunities to enhance their skills through structured drills, with modified gameplay scenarios introduced gradually as fundamental techniques are established. Unlike other Next Level programs that follow a distinct practice-to-game format, the volleyball program integrates instruction and team play throughout the program. There are no fixed transitions from practice to match play. Instead, players will be guided through various skill-building exercises led by Next Level Volleyball coaches, gradually progressing toward more team-oriented scrimmages in the later portion of the program. The last 30 minutes of program activity each week will be dedicated to putting what you learn on the court into action!
- Team Roster Size: Teams are 10 players maximum, limited exceptions on a case-by-case basis.
