Coach Rachel and her assistants are doing a great job with the high school players at Shade's Mill Thursday night program. Here is a photo of the group.

Do you have a parent who likes to coach you from the sidelines? A family member who tells you what it was like in their day? Well maybe it is time for them to get out of their beach chairs and get in the action.

Introducing our first Scorpions Family Beach tournament at Emerald Lake. We have something for every skill level, so we are hoping to see you there.

Competitive Duos – This is for your experienced duos who aren’t afraid to dive in the sand.

Recreational Duos – This may be a good fit for those who are less experienced but who just want to get in some exercise and have fun.

Competitive 4’s – This is for experienced teams who believe the more the merrier. Two families can combine to make 1 team.

Recreational 4s – This may be a good fit for those who are less experienced and who believe that diving in the sand is optional. Two families can combine to make 1 team.

FAQ

Who is eligible to play? Moms, Dads, Siblings, Aunts, Uncles & Cousins of all ages
Can I play with a younger sibling? All division are coed with no age restrictions.
We have a team of 6, can we still play together in the 4s Division? You can have more than 4 on a team however only 4 can be on the court at 1 time
How do I know what division to pick? If you are playing with someone who is a former player or who is still playing in a league now you may want to select the competitive division. If you are playing with someone who just loves the game of volleyball or if the participants are younger, then recreational may be the way to go.
