Recommended Pros
I have been following these professionals (pro beach volleyball players, coaches, trainers, etc) for the past few years on social media and online and find their resources to be quite useful. Many offer additional services, whether they are clinics, camps, online training, volleyball fitness/vertical jump programs (both one-off general or on-going personal). Some endorse products that are useful for beach players as well. You should investigate these and find out what is best for your growth in the sport. Think of this as your professional resource page.

AVP Champion and Sponsored Blenders Athlete
Geena is featured in the serving section of this website and is a generous professional supporting youth interested in beach volleyball. I highly recommend that you consider getting a pair of Blenders sunglasses to wear when playing. They are locally made (San Diego) and my personal favorite brand because of the quality. Use Geena's code (URANGO20) to receive a significant discount on your next pair. Also, keep an eye out for a BOGO sale that occurs every so often.

AVP Champion and Sponsored Wilson Athlete
Casey has entertained beach volleyball audiences for years with his skills on the court as well as making difficult plays seem easy. Both combine while he plays and he creates phrases uttered by other players around the world - "Free Ice cream!". He has retired from beach volleyball and now is taking over pickle ball courts one match at a time. He is sponsored by Wilson. Use his special code to receive a discount when purchasing Wilson beach volleyballs (Patterson-364).
