How do I sign my daughter up for Tidal Beach practices?
There are 4 ways to sign up for practice:
​
1. Single Day Practice and choose any day! You may sign up on the same day.
​
2. One Week package. This is a 3-Practice Package available every week. If you cannot make all 3 practices in the given week, the remaining practice(s) can be used the following week only. We strongly recommend attending multiple practices in a row to develop more quickly.
​
3. Month Package. This is about 12 practices per month. You will be signed up for every practice the entire month!
​
4. Winter Program. This is about 36-39 practices for 3 months (Feb/March/April). You will be signed up for every practice for the next three months!
​
Does my daughter need to attend all Tidal Beach club practices?
Yes & No - Tidal Beach focuses teaching proper techniques and understanding of the game through the development of various skills and drills. We encourage our athletes to attend as many practices as they can to continue to hear the same message from our elite coaching staff and develop quicker as beach athletes.
However, we understand that your schedule may have conflicts along the way.
Do you have training for all ages and skill levels?
Yes, we have training for all skill levels and offer training for athletes aged 11-18.
We do recommend that all athletes have experience playing volleyball, but are more than happy to train young athletes who are new to the sport.
Our practices are split into groups on different courts based off of the athlete's skill level, not their age.
When and Where does Tidal Beach Practice? How long is each practice?
​
Tidal Beach practice 3 times a week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 3:30-5:30pm, and Saturdays at 8-10am.
We practice at Will Rogers State Beach at the intersection of Temescal Canyon and PCH. Enter the parking lot at Temescal and go south to the bottom of the parking lot for drop off and pick up.
​
Tidal Beach trains all year long broken down into 3 different programs
-Winter Program will be for the months of February, March, and April.
- Summer Program will be for the month of May, June, July, and August. (practice times may change when all of the kids are on summer break)

Do I need to pick my partner for tournaments, or will you provide us with a partner? Will Tidal Beach coach us at tournaments?
Yes, you need to pick your partner for tournaments! We want you to reach our to you friends and make your own partnership. If you are having trouble, or your partner cannot make a tournament, we will assist in finding someone for you.
​
Yes, if you ask the coaches in advance and give them your tournament schedule
Do I need to have a partner at practice?
Yes & No - If you have a partner already, we encourage you to practice together as much as possible to build a stronger relationship. If you do not have a partner, it is okay, we do a ton of various drills where you can mix and match with the different partners.
