Extremely disappointing experience. Had a very bad experience with this coach, Liz Lopez. The situation was handled in an extremely unprofessional and childish manner, and she took things far too personally instead of acting like a "coach." Communication and overall behavior were very disappointing, especially with kids around. Definitely not the kind of environment we expected from a club program. Parents should be aware before committing their kids here. I would strongly recommend thinking twice before joining this club. read more

I have been playing with this group for last 8 years, thanks to organizer Roman, I can honestly say that this group is currently the best beach volleyball group in Southern California (yes, been to many of them). Roman is a very responsible organizer, members of this group are very nice and highly skilled. Most of the 2s are high level players and 4s are advance intermediate. If you are a beginner, talk to Roman for best classes. Sometimes Roman invites Beach volleyball teachers for free classes for group members. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot next to where group plays. There are also restrooms in the swimming pool next to where group plays. Usually there are 3 courts for twos and 3 courts for fours, 36 people can play at the same time. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to play beach volleyball. read more

I have been a part of this meetup group since 2011 and it truly is for ALL experience levels. I've played volleyball (indoor and outdoor) for over 18 years and have helped tutor beginners in this group. I've seen people start off completely new and inexperienced where they are just learning the fundamentals, to actually playing competitive games of 2v2 against advanced players. About 6 courts are usually reserved and fully equipped with lines and regulation volleyballs (not the fake replicas but the real deal pro-quality volleyballs). There's always three courts of 4s and three courts of 2s going on all-morning. Usually by 1pm everyone is tired and starts heading home. Be sure to bring water and wear lots of sunscreen because shade and water fountains are far away from the volleyball courts. Onto the review: The group has evolved over the years to a very well organized and competition-friendly atmosphere. The group is for most ages, but typically everyone is between the ages of 18-55. I would not recommend this for kids under the age of 13 because injuries can happen when you play with people physically bigger and mature. This meetup is for those serious about learning to play beach volleyball, get better at it, and have fun. The current organizer, Roman, is very friendly and welcoming. Above all else, he wants fairness in all the games. On occasion teams will be mixed up to balance out experience levels. It's a learning experiencing for everyone, but in the end, it makes you and everyone else a better player when the competition is varied. The 3-and-out rule ensures everyone gets a chance to play. "Super" teams are discouraged, but if games are consistent blow-outs, then you might be asked to break-up. The point of the meetup is to have fun, and blow-outs are NO FUN. There's always going to be 1 or 2 of those over-competitive-not-so-friendly players, but usually everyone else is friendly and encouraging. The biggest tip: be friendly and have FUN! Bad attitudes are not welcome in the meetup group. If you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, there's something for everyone! If you happen to come by on a Sunday, look for me if you'd like some practice...or some friendly competition! :) read more

I've been a part of this meetup for a few years now and each year it continues to improve. It is very well organized, with a sign in sheet for doubles and one for 4's. You can only sign into one sheet at a time. Roman, the host, brings gear for six courts: three doubles courts and three 4's courts. Parking is essentially free. Classes are provided on Sunday mornings to those who would like to learn how to play or improve their fundamentals. The members are of all ages and walks of life and they're all really great and fun-loving people. There are players of all skill levels from beginners to advanced, although most are varying levels intermediate. Roman also brings a huge bluetooth speaker and provides music for us while we play. Great meetup! You should join! read more

I just started playing with this group this summer, but many of their members have been playing together for years. Whether you're looking for simple, fun and recreational 3- or 4-person team play (with a required low intermediate skill level), or a more challenging & competitive 2-person game, this meet up offers both. Just about everyone there is very welcoming so joining this group can increase your social circle as well. This meet up is very well organized and runs smoothly because Roman is dedicated to making the process easy, fun & fair. There is always good quality equipment used and several courts set up to ensure everyone gets a chance to play as many games as they like! I highly recommend this meet up. Whether I come alone or with friends, I always have a great time and challenge my skill level to improve. There's usually music playing so spectators are also welcome. Parking is easy and for the most part free or costs a few quarters in the meter. Come on out & play! See ya on the sand soon! read more

I joined LB Volleyball Meet Up to get back into the sport and for a great workout. Everyone is very welcoming and great to play with! I am still very rusty but there is the opportunity to play 4s, as well as 2s, which helps me work on my endurance.

My first time attending LBVB was a memorable experience. Everyone was extremely personable and eccentric. It's was a total team environment and I did not feel like an outsider even on my first day there. Roman, the groups organizer is the coolest because he walks around and gets involved in the game which says a lot about him as well. If you're looking to pick up a new hobby o make new frinrds then I recommend you get your it down to the sand Saturday or Sunday's and come have some fun. :D read more
