Elite Beach Tryouts- Sun, November 6 at 9am & 11am

DaKine’s Travel Elite Beach Warriors will be comprised of three squads: Open and two Club squads. Each Club Elite Squad team will consist of 12 athletes, both club squads will travel ; with an assigned Head & Assistant Coach. The Elite Club Squads will begin the season practicing three times a week for 2.5 hours each practice. They will train together, travel together and compete together.

Elite Warriors will have three practices a week for the month of May, and twice a week in competition season, June through mid-July (BVCA Club Championships). All practices will begin with a dynamic warm up, followed by 45 minutes of ball control and technique training. The following 45 minutes are focused on strategic drills, using game like situations. The remainder of practices will be structured queen of the court scrimmaging, followed by 20 minutes of cardio & strength training. Practice plans will be customized and developed by each training group’s head coach and Club Director Chris Hannemann.

Our practices are designed to feed and fuel the complete athlete, lending from the Hawaiian tradition of the Lokahi Triangle. Lokahi means unity & agreement, and the triangle refers to achieving harmony- mentally, physically & spiritually. We’ll be including mental training exercises to encourage focus and  help with visualization. DaKine athletes are leaders- they never follow; we’ve set the standard in hand setting on the beach, across the nation, and we intend to lead our athletes to success, both off and on the sand.

The Elite Club Warriors  will participate in the BVCA Club Challenge Series, the gold standard in junior tournament competition. The BVCA Club Challenges are organized in the same format as the collegiate competitions, preparing DaKine Ohana to transfer seamlessly into top collegiate programs.

*Please note: If you are not selected to any of the Elite Teams (Open or Club), you can still develop your skills and grow your game this off season on one of our advanced regional teams.
