Beach Bash Tournaments
Sky High Volleyball proudly hosts a series of doubles-format beach volleyball events at Sideouts in Island Lake. Below is all the essential information you need to know to participate and prepare. Events are open to all athletes regardless of club affiliation.
Important Registration Information:
Registering for Multiple Events:
Each camp requires a separate registration. If you plan to sign up for more than one tournament day, you will need to complete individual registration forms for each one.
Grade Level for Registration:
Please register your team for the grade they will enter in the upcoming school year—not their current grade.
Do both players need to register?
No. Only one player needs to register for each event. Be sure you have both athletes full name, USAV Number and Grade.
Do you have a USAV membership?
All participating athlete MUST have a current USAV Membership. Need a membership? Follow the instructions below.
Refund Policy
All Beach Bash Registrations must be received before 2:00 PM CDT on the Friday preceding the Tournament. At 2:00 PM CDT, we will stop taking registrations for that weekend.
Each team should register as a pair. If you do not currently have a partner, we recommend you wait until you obtain a partner before registering. When two partners are of different ages, the team will—except in extraordinary circumstances—play up to the higher grade level.
Refunds will not be issued for teams withdrawing from an event within 7 calendar days of the event. There is a $5 transaction fee on all refunds. So, please be sure you will participate in the event before registering.
A full refund will be issued for events that are canceled.
