The ELITE program of Pismo Beach VBC trains players in advanced strategy, team chemistry, and a faster pace of play in addition to solidifying fundamentals, improving individual athleticism, and building volleyball IQ.
To ensure ELITE players receive the best competition possible, a tryout is required prior to the beginning of each session. For 2022 the ELITE program will be offered only for our Summer session. Sign up then send us an email saying you're interested in trying out! ELITE players will have a 8 to 1 coach to player ratio, girls 6th-12th grades will have extended practices on their regular days, and both boys and girls will have one additional practice day or travel tournament per week. PBVBC ELITE is run by Coach Curtis Abram (boys) and Coach Joe Rich (girls). Check out their bios here!
