Our experienced and passionate beach volleyball coaches are committed to guiding our athletes in a holistic practice encompassing technical, mental, and physical skill training.
Who we are
Take the guesswork out of training. All athletes will be under the direct guidance of The Strand Beach Elite Performance Specialists- the same coaches trusted by our pro-athlete groups to train our youth groups and adults.
Our Youth Training is meticulously designed to foster a dynamic, enjoyable atmosphere where young athletes thrive. We prioritize individualized attention to elevate your child's skills to new heights, ensuring they excel in their game.
Our coaches train more than just the skills and physical abilities, but train the mental clarity and focus required to become an elite performer in any aspect of life, honed from decades training Olympians and Elite Athletes.
The Strand Beach is co-founded by tech-entrepreneurs and volleyball enthusiasts who bring state-of-the-art technology to help our athletes reach their peak performance while also applying gamification to drive engagement.

“The Beach Elite team has done a great job establishing goals and tracking the players' progress to see how much improvement has been made. However, the most surprising and most pleasing result for me from my two daughters’ time at Beach Elite has been the mental transformation regarding their love of training and how they look at all aspects of preparing for their sport. They’ve enjoyed the process, but I can see a confidence in them that comes from knowing they’ve outworked the players they’ll be competing with and against in college.”
"It's easier to take your outdoor skills into the gym than to bring your indoor skills outside. Simple reason. Beach volleyball forces you to have all the skills. That's why I think it's a good idea for indoor players to play on the beach. . . . Learning those skills can only help improve a player's indoor performance. All my years playing on the beach as a kid certainly helped my indoor game. If nothing else, a player's quickness and jump will be increased by playing on soft sand."
"Coach Ticao took me from just a local hobbyist beach player to someone who was able to compete and hold my own alongside some of the top professional beach volleyball players in the country including winning 2 AVP tour matches. He was pivotal to ensuring Phil & I were not an embarrassment to the tour while still making my dream of competing at that level come true."
“Joining Beach Elite and practicing with Coach Ticao has been an amazing experience for me. Learning how to work with my weaknesses and overcome mental hurdles to succeeding at the next level as made me a better player and a better friend. I owe a big part of my success to Coach Ticao of Beach Elite."
