Created in 2012, Bevolley Academy, Inc., (Bevolley) sprung from the idea to bring top-notch beach volleyball training to the Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg areas. While beach volleyball has long been a popular sport in the USA, training for the sport has been lacking.
Brazil is internationally known as a hotbed for beach volleyball - from its players' caliber to its coaches' acumen and passion. As Brazilian natives, Raquel Ferreira and Paula Roca, the founders of Bevolley Academy, Inc., have a firsthand understanding of the necessary training and components essential to foster quality beach volleyball classes and athletes.
Today, beach volleyball is a college sport and Bevolley is ready to accommodate the evolving landscape surrounding it (including its upcoming inclusion as a FHSAA-sponsored high school sport). Bevolley is one of the rare academies that encompasses all levels of beach volleyball training, from novice junior training to Olympic-level professionals seeking to improve their game.
