SUMMARY:Beach Skills & Drills: Strategy/Gameplay
DESCRIPTION:Ready to take your beach volleyball skills to the next level? Join us for our Beach Skills and Drills Program led by James Battiston\, former professional volleyball player and member of the Canadian Beach National Team. James has coached for several years with the Mavericks Volleyball Club as well as 15+ years at Madawaska Volleyball Camp.   \n\n\n\nWhether you’re new to beach volleyball or a seasoned player\, we have something for you!  Join us at the RA Centre on Saturday mornings where James will bring his expert guidance to teach you fundamentals or take you to the next level with specific skills.  \n\n\n\nThis is an all-encompassing session that looks at strategies for getting your opponents to do what you want them to do. We will work on creating a serve/defensive strategy in the 2-on-2 beach game that funnels the defense to work with your strengths. On serve receive\, we will work on creating the best situation for a successful side out. For this session\, participants are expected to have basic ball control (being able to forearm or hand pass a ball to a target) to allow for meaningful rallies.

SUMMARY:The PrEP Clinic Beach Bums Tournament
DESCRIPTION:Details \n\n\n\n\nPresent to the venue by 7:45am. First game will start at 8:00am sharp.\n\n\n\nEach player is encouraged to pre-order your food using the form provided. Pre-ordering your food not only will ensure we have enough food for you during the tournament\, but you get a discount by pre-ordering!\n\n\n\nPlayoff finishes by 5:00 PM\n\n\n\nTeam registration: $120/team of up to 5 players\n\n\n\nRosters must be full and confirmed by: August 8\, 2025\n\n\n\nLevel of play: Intermediate/Advanced 4v4\n\n\n\nRain or shine event. If there is inclement weather\, we will manage the situation the day of the event.\n\n\n\n\nFormat: \n\n\n\n\nNet height will be between 2.30-2.35m.\n\n\n\nEach team plays 5 single pool games\, 3 playoff double-elimination brackets made (upper\, middle and lower)\, each team plays up to 8 playoff games: 1 game winner bracket\, 1 game loser bracket. \n\n\n\nEach team will play between 7-13 games throughout the day. \n\n\n\nCan play more games for fun if the team is eliminated from the playoffs as courts will be available as teams get eliminated.  \n\n\n\nAll games start 0-0 and capped at 21 points. \n\n\n\nOne 30-second time out per game. \n\n\n\nSwitch sides when the first team reaches 10 points. In order to stay on schedule and be fair for weather conditions\, switching sides at 10 points is highly encouraged. \n\n\n\nCan volley any first contact. \n\n\n\nNo open hand tips allowed.\n\n\n\nBlock counts as first contact for the defending team if the ball then enters the defending team’s space. The blocker may play the ball again as the defending team’s second contact.\n\n\n\nNo mandatory rotation. Server order must be followed. \n\n\n\nServer is a back row player. The back row player may not play the ball at or above the top of the net to the opponent’s side while standing on or in front of the 3m line. For efficiency and to avoid confusion\, this rule is mandatory.\n\n\n\nAny player may volley the ball over the net (forwards or backwards) to the opponent’s side provided the ball travels along the trajectory where the players shoulders are facing. NO tricky volleys sideways over the net.\n\n\n\nYour team will be assigned to keep score on a court. We encourage your teammates to take turns so each of you can snack\, hydrate\, and re-apply sunscreen as needed.\n\n\n\n\nOther notes : \n\n\n\n\nA lunch break will be built into the schedule.\n\n\n\nAs Shefford Park has limited food options\, PCV-FVC will have food options available including: beef burgers\, vegetarian burgers\, hotdogs\, chips\, water\, and Gatorade.
