ALAMO SAND VOLLEYBALL CLUB
Alamo is excited to about the start of our 2nd season joining the other major clubs across Texas with its commitment to participate in the Sand Volleyball Club system. Sand Volleyball is a growing NCAA sport with scholarship opportunities. Most DI programs now play indoor as well as outdoor in the spring. The cross training benefits of playing sand will greatly enhance the indoor players game, sand players will improve their vertical jumping ability, improve their quickness to the ball, improve their ability to read hitters, and it gives them the opportunity to play competitively throughout the summer while providing a great break from the indoor game.
Training Director: Phil Jackson will lead the training for our sand club for both Players and Coaches, Phil a native of San Diego grew up playing in South Mission Beach, He played in leagues and tournament up and down the California Coast before earning his way onto the AVP Circuit. Phil played in AVP events from
1993-98 playing against some of the games legends like Sinjin Smith, Randy Stoklos, Karch Kiraly. His training and experience will be a great resource for the athletes at Alamo
