Cougar Beach 16U - 18

We are extremely excited to offer a fully revamped Beach Program for Summer 2025! Transitioning off the court and onto the sand, athletes will participate in just over 2 months of competitive beach training including 2 practices a week and several in-house playdates! Players looking to partner up and participate in the 2025 Sand Series Circuit are highly encouraged to do so, and our coaches aim to provide an environment that is inclusive, fun, competitive, and will provide every athlete with the greatest opportunity for success and growth possible. This is bound to be our best year of beach yet!

*Please note this is an advanced program. Club experience is highly recommended*

    Shub Wander

    At the age of 25, volleyball has been part of my life for 20 years, where I have progressed in club to earn provincial and national gold medals, played for the University of the Fraser Valley and went overseas for a professional contract in Denmark as an athlete for the mens team. As well, I have been a coach for the women’s professional team, with the latest venture of joining Capilano as an athlete and assistant coach. While indoor is my main focus, I have played beach for 5 years and joing the KBVA for there tournements at kits and this year will be joining the Vancouver Open. While thats a short summary of my athlete career, as a coach I have been present for 13 years, where I have coached at multiple clubs, and as mentioned above, coached a women’s professional team in Denmark with the latest venture of coach the mens Capilano team.

    While my journey continues and my knowledge and experiences change my initial view, one constant remains which is the belief that an athletes imagination is the only limiting factor for there potential growth in the sport, expecially when considering beach volleyball.
