Almost hard to believe it but the 2024 Beach Volleyball Season has already arrived here in Southern California. It’s been a cold and rainy start to the new year, but as this month of January closes, already beach volleyball programs are beginning to prepare for the season. Some matches starting this weekend and next. For us, here at SocalBeachVB.com we hope to get to some of the early season matches.
However, there’s plenty of beach volleyball from 2023 that has not been added to our site.
Happy to announce that you can now start to browse through our beach volleyball galleries, without commentary.
Galleries from the 2023 AVCA West Coast Qualifiers and the CBVA Women’s AA in Belmont Shores, are uploaded to our site. Just couldn’t see them before. Going forward the option to view the gallery without commentary will be found in all updates.
Here’s an example….
View the AVCA 2023 West Coast Qualifiers in Manhattan Beach, CA here, starting with Day 1:
As you’ll notice, to ‘navigate’ you’ll need to press “Next Post” at the bottom of the page. You can also press “Previous Post” and you can see what else is already on our site.
You can now also see all photos from the CBVA Women’s AA tournament in November 2023, in Belmont Shores.
For any athletes who are waiting on photos, some of yours may be in the raw (no commentary) galleries.
We’re still pretty new to covering this exciting sport.
Life is always going to be life. Oftentimes I found time to shoot beach volleyball events, but not always the time to upload or even look through the photos. Also examined how I was approaching updates, and figured I was making it harder than I needed to. Making adjustments (not excuses) is something all athletes are used to, and it’s been no different for me.
Continuing to improve is the name of our game.
Each year our goal is to get better at every aspect of this. That includes taking even better photos of all beach volleyball events we cover. Thanks to all who’ve supported us. For those who’d like to also show their support, visit this page here.Â
Stay tuned for the 2024 beach volleyball season. TONS of talented college programs have only gotten better in the off season. I can see quite a few giving USC & UCLA, easily two of the top programs in the nation, a serious run for their money. LMU and Long Beach State are looking really strong this year. Looking around the nation, Washington and Florida State have plenty of talent on their rosters. Also, Texas Beach Volleyball is going to make noise this season. Who else do you think is going to have a historic 2024? Leave your comments below.
