Adult Beach Volleyball Clinic
Join us on Saturday, May 3rd, for one or both of two coaching sessions led by OB.
This is open to all adult beach volleyball players: Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced.
Registration is now open and will close end of day, Thursday, May 1st.
What you can expect to be coached on…
An all-skill clinic broken down into 15-minute drill sessions on passing, setting, hitting and serving. 25 minutes of gameplay and a 10 minute window for Q&A.
Serve receive will be the biggest focus: Improving serve receive by understanding angles and how to cover more court by adjusting based on the server
Setting both hands and platforms and understanding the nuances and advantages squaring up while setting to a target
Attacking: How to use different mechanics to make more shots to crank a ball without getting hurt and improve side efficiency, no matter your age or playing level.
Serving: How to make the most points from the service line. Beach is a game of chess especially in doubles. Service location is crucial
Overall tips on quick 15 mins drills you can do at pick up before you play to help maximize rep warm up while not making others feel like you are practicing or they are at practice.

About Coach OB
OB Besongngem (pictured above) is an active Beach Volleyball Player and Coach in Maryland, who also attends worldwide tournaments. In 2024 OB participated in the olympic qualifier games for his native country Cameroon to play at the Olympics in Paris. OB has been playing vigorously and successfully since 2015, and has been coaching for 4 years. He is currently an assistant for the McDaniel Women's volleyball(D3) team and is training to play the African Beach Nations cup this summer (2025) to grab a bid into world Championships in Adelaide Australia later this year in November.
“When OB coaches, he comes 100% prepared, so you can get the most out of your session. He will teach you new techniques while pushing you to become a better player, all with a can-do attitude, no matter your playing level.” — Susi K
"I enjoy high-caliber training because it makes the play better. I met Obie at a 4s tournament in Crownsville where he won with only a 3-player team. When I found out that he was Olympic bound, I quickly asked him if he coaches and was pleasantly surprised at how approachable he was. I train with him every chance I get when our schedules permit. I am very excited that he will be offering clinics at Crownsville. Whatever your skill level, from just starting out to high, you should come to this clinic if you want to improve your game." — Elaine Elderkin
