The Grand Canyon beach volleyball program will transition to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation beginning in the 2024-25 academic year, joining a newly formed and regionalized beach volleyball conference with nationally competitive programs.

GCU will join six schools who are departing members of the Pac-12 Conference including California, Oregon, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Washington.

No, they’re not much better skill-wise than last year. All the extra practice time for the redshirts will certainly help, but this is still a roster without much top-end talent. Top 12-15 is likely their ceiling. 

There’s really only 5 schools in this sport: USC, UCLA, FSU, LSU, TCU. Sometimes another CA school will sneak in around there. TCU has the best pair in the nation, so they’re basically starting every dual up 1-0. USC is still the champs until someone proves otherwise.

How long has TCU had their program?

2015, but their current coach took over two years later. He's from the Canary Islands & Tenerife, his top assistant from Guatemala, so you'll hear as much Spanish as English at their tourneys. That's why they have the stud Olympic pair, they've known them since they were young.

I’ll be in Tenerife next summer. I was already planning on doing plenty of scouting on the beaches, but if y’all need me to head down to the courts to watch a bunch of Spanish women jump around in bikinis and report back, I think I could squeeze that in. Anything to help the program..

Noted.  I'll try to swing out there for it.  Hopefully our schedule is released soon.  Last year, we tried piecing it together as other schools released their schedules.

Didn't realize their badass new locker room is in DKR, so they better be relatively close. 

Yeah, I heard rumors of over across I-35 but I'm not sure there's much room there. I guess we'll find out this year. Hosting tournaments at the IM fields kinda sicks

Well shit. When I live in Pensacola, we're just starting our program. First year in Cali, and it's going back.

I've still got a house in Pensacola and a ton of friends in Gulf Shores... Maybe I'll decide to be back in the area that weekend, we'll see. There's always next year!
