If you're thinking about starting a beach volleyball club but aren't sure how to go about it, here's a great three-part primer from Rob Long, club director for the Ohio Valley Beach Volleyball Academy in Cincinnati.
In this video, Rob addresses why it's a good time to start a beach volleyball club.
In this next segment, Rob covers two important subjects:
1. How to find a facility that will work for your sand program without crushing your budget.
2. How to find coaches who are qualified to teach beach volleyball.
Lastly, Rob talks finance.
His primary message: Keep the costs down. Parents are used to paying high fees for indoor clubs. If you can give them great value at a nice price, your club will likely grow quickly.
His club has done just that. In 2011, he started with 20 members. Now there are more than 200.
