Coach Chase is a first year coach with Surfside. He is in charge of running the beach program for us, and is well suited to do so! This 7-year AVP pro has bundles to teach you. He loves the whole game, but his specialties include: defense, ball control/serve receive, explosive movements, and teaching kids how to be more fluid. He has coached for the better part of 13 years on the sand and indoors. he played his indoor ball at UC San Diego where he is still 2nd on the all-time digs list. He has won two gold medals while representing the USA on the beach internationally, and has finished as high as 2nd (twice) and 3rd (twice) on the AVP tour. He loves coaching the mental side of the game, and inspiring athletes to be well rounded, confident and happy on and off the court. Let’s get creative, and have some fun with Coach Chase!
