Lessons are available with either Coach Evan or Coach Stu, giving athletes the opportunity to learn from two highly experienced coaches with diverse backgrounds in both beach and indoor volleyball.
Coach Evan brings extensive high-level playing and coaching experience to every session. His volleyball career includes training with the U17 Junior Olympic Beach squad, competing in CBVA and Junior National tournaments, representing the United States internationally, winning three Junior Olympic gold medals, and capturing CIF, State, and National Championships at Corona del Mar High School. He continued his playing career at Pepperdine University under legendary coach Marv Dunphy and has coached at Wildwood High School, Balboa Bay Volleyball Club, West Coast Volleyball Club, and Sinjin Smith Beach Volleyball Camps.
Coach Stu brings more than a decade of coaching experience and a passion for helping athletes build confidence and reach their potential. A Southern California CIF Champion coach in 2025, Stu has coached at Wildwood High School, Sammamish High School, Northwest Juniors, Falcon Volleyball Club, and Pac 6 Volleyball Club. Originally from Seattle, he grew up playing beach volleyball at Alki Beach and has maintained a lifelong connection to the sport. Stu also holds a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, which helps him create a supportive and motivating environment that encourages both athletic and personal growth.
While each coach brings a unique perspective and style, both share a commitment to teaching strong fundamentals, developing volleyball IQ, and helping athletes become more confident and complete players. Sessions are tailored to the individual athlete and can focus on skill development, movement and footwork, beach strategy, game awareness, position-specific training, or competition preparation.
No matter your starting point, Coach Evan and Coach Stu are dedicated to helping players improve their skills, compete with confidence, and develop a lasting love for the game.
