All Coastal athletes will have built-in sand training opportunities during the indoor season (though we will be sure to focus solely on indoor skills during the bulk of the tournamant season) and will have an opportunity to receive discounted tuition into TVA's 757 Beach juniors program, coordinated by Coastal coach Matt McLaren, a Penn State Men's Volleyball alum recently recognized as an ACVA Thirty under 30 Beach award winner (a list of the Nation's top up-and-coming young coaches).
