Do I need a partner?
For summer sand training, a partner is not required. However, if you plan to participate in tournaments, we highly encourage players to register with a partner so they can train and play with that person during practice. We will do our best to match players that come in as an individual to a partner based on their skill level and what events they can play in for those that have a desire to play tournaments in the summer. You do not need a partner to be a part of Starlings Beach Volleyball and you do not need a partner for practices. At Starlings Beach Volleyball we will do our best to match you with a partner for tournaments. However, it is your choice and your responsibility to find a partner for yourself.
Are sand lessons available for individuals or teams?
Sand lessons are available for individuals and teams. Please reach out at lauriedallasstarlings@gmail.com or 214-641-8811.
