Summer Programs
The summer sand club program is our main club season, and we are excited to offer 17 weeks of practices, running May 7th through August 29th. Evening training is offered in Cedar Park (ASC Sand Complex), Tuesday through Thursday, and in West Austin (WAYA) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Morning practices are available (in Cedar Park) once school is out, and practices in August are only on Wednesday nights in Cedar Park. A tryout is NOT REQUIRED for the 2024 season, athletes are evaluated at their first practice. Every athlete must register online to be accepted into the Summer Sand Club program. The session package option is selected during registration, along with uniform sizing, and a $350 deposit to secure a spot in the program. Session packages are treated as punch cards and expire August 29th; they do not roll over into other seasons. The summer program is strictly training, and tournament competition is not included. Practice sessions consist of 90 minutes of skill's training and 30 minutes of SAQ conditioning. We welcome all male and female athletes, as well as AJV indoor and non AJV athletes to compete with AJV Sand. You do not need a partner but can sign up and train with one. Please visit our Summer Sand Club page for more information on the club training program.
Summer programming also includes eight-week Level 1 & 2 beginner programs, Queen of the Beach games on Friday nights, and various sand qualifying tournaments to compete in on the weekends. Please check back in April for more information.
