2019 Programs and Costs
The OC Beach club fees include costs associated with practices and training, including volleyball equipment, court space, facility equipment, coaches stipends and gear/equipment, and player gear package (consisting of a backpack, sand socks, and water bottle). Tournament travel cost reimbursements for coaches are ALSO included in club fees.
​​The OC Beach club fees do NOT include tournament fees , OKRVA membership (required), and player/family travel costs. Tournament fees will normally run about $30-45/player. An OKRVA summer membership ($15 or less) is available for those without a current one (2018-19 indoor memberships DO carry over to the beach season).
​
The OC Beach in the past has provided usage of a uniform/jersey during the program season. We will try to offer jersey usage again in 2019, but are unable to guarantee jerseys for everyone due to extenuating circumstances. Jerseys are NOT required, but some tournaments will require partners to have matching attire. Ordering options for appropriate apparel is being provided.
Doubles Program - Limited
Doubles teams in the Limited Doubles program will practice at least once a week, with the potential for a second event depending on availability. Practices may be in the mornings or evenings (depending on choices offered and accepted), and will run from early-to-mid May until mid-July. Those weeks where a player misses their practice opportunity because of other events (vacation, church camp, etc.) may be allowed to reschedule missed practices. Projected costs for The OC Beach 2019 Limited doubles program is $259.00 (or less) per player for the season. Beach fees include costs for things such as team equipment, court rental fees, coaching stipends, coaching travel expenses, etc. Fees also include a gear package which includes a backpack, sand socks, and water bottle.
The OC Beach allows players to pre-select partners (with club approval) before the program begins and join the program with the team already formed. Players may also join the program without a partner in place, as the club will assist with partner placement. Doubles teams have the responsibility of coordinating with The OC Beach staff to select their tournaments for the 2019 season. There is no limit to the number of tournaments a team elects to participate in. Some tournaments may be outside of the Tulsa metro area, and thus will have travel obligations. Beach fees include backpack, sand socks, and water bottle.
Doubles Program - Unlimited
Doubles teams in the Unlimited Doubles program will practice multiple times per week. Practices may be in the mornings and/or evenings (depending on choices offered and accepted), and will run from early-to-mid May until mid-July.

Boys Teams
With ongoing changes from both USAVolleyball and OKRVA to promote growth of the sport, the expectation is that there will be even more opportunities for boys to participate in beach volleyball. The costs for participating boys is expected to be slightly lower than the girls ($229-329) due to fewer tournament options.
​
Boys teams may also have practices at another venue, depending on the ages of the players.
