Pro Training Details
Chase Frishman and Emily Stockman will be hosting clinics all weekend long with the intention of molding a well rounded athlete. This entails experiential learning brought in by years of experience, competing as athletes on tour. To perform at the highest level, these athletes have gone far beyond the court for tricks and tools to fuel the mind, body and spirit. They intend to integrate these lessons in a relatable form, alongside solid fundamentals and layered strategies to expand your game.
Throughout these trainings, they will be giving feedback on body mechanics and awareness in space, partnership dynamics of how to play together, break down reasoning for defensive reads, and so much more. On an individual level, they will help athletes connect to a deeper resonance of their own skill, and learn to flow from the ground up in smooth symmetry. Emily and Chase will work with players to uncover a hidden level of play, and the creative potential needed to maximize whatever dream you may have.
The extra 15...
After each session players get to cool down with the pros, encouraging tuning into the body + rest and recovery. Assess what went well or what was potentially difficult, and ask any other questions they may still have.

Spooky Scramble
Spooky Season calls for a Spooky Scramble!
This Halloween, we are casting a spell on the usual mixed double’s scramble format. Pro AVP Players, costumes, mini games and spooky surprises have been thrown into the cauldron!
Come dressed in your best halloween costume and enjoy a devilishly fun night of volleyball.
During the scramble our pros will be floating around and joining teams at random. You never know when you’ll be digging a hit from Chase Frishman or trying to get a ball past Emily Stockman.
We will also be adding in Jump Scare mini-games throughout the night. These will be randomized games between you and the pros. You never know when the games are coming or what the challenge will be…can you beat a pro in 1 v 1? Touch higher on the antenna than them? Beat them in a candy corn eating contest? The possibilities are endless!

Meet The AVP Pros
Chase Frishman
AVP Pro
Chase graduated from UCSD in 2013, finishing second in school history in career digs. He sleep walked his way through a Communication degree and wishes he had applied himself more. Chase is passionate about learning and trying new things. Chase Frishman is so much more than a volleyball player.
He prides himself on being a drifter, a writer, a traveler, and a cook. The wind has carried him to Rookie of the Year in 2016. He bare feet wandered his way to a career-best 3rd in Hermosa in 2017. The man is a flying sandstorm on the court, swirling whirling dervish. A passing prodigy. He claims to be a defensive guru, but he’s actually very open to criticism.
Emily Stockman
AVP Pro
Emily, a Colorado native, moved to California in 2014 to pursue her career in beach volleyball. After a successful indoor career at Wichita State University, where she was a 2x All American and 4 years at the professional level overseas, she decided to make the transition to beach. In 2015, she made the Elite Development Program through USAV, and has since moved up to being the 3rd ranked team for the USA and 12th ranked team in the world, with teammate Kelley Kolinske. Â
In 2016, she won her first international event at the NORCECA in St. Lucia. Since then, she has received 2 more Gold medals, a Silver, and a Bronze medal on the World Tour. In 2018, she and teammate Kelley were the first ever Queen of the Beach Champions. She was also a finalist at the 2017 AVP event in Austin, and in 2019 won her first AVP event in Seattle.Â
Emily has finished the last 2 seasons as a top ranked defender on the AVP tour, and was nominated by volleyball magazine as a first team pick in 2019. During the off-season Emily helps coach the boy’s and girl’s beach programs at Mira Costa High School. However, anytime she has a free weekend, she seeks adventure, and you will most likely find her in the mountains, camping, mountain biking, riding her dirt bike, or snowboarding.Â

Eric Beranek
AVP Pro
Eric Beranek was born and raised in Redondo Beach, CA where he fell in love with the beach lifestyle. He grew up playing with his dad and a group of Manhattan Beach locals that would only play side-out scoring on the big court. This shaped Eric’s entire personality and outlook on life. Not only is Eric quick with the wit, but he’s also known as being one of the fastest players on the AVP.
After playing a few events here and there, he committed to beach volleyball full time in 2018 and qualified for four of six AVP tournaments, with a high of 13th. In 2019 he was the Volleyball Magazine’s Breakthrough Player of the Year, highlighted by a phenomenally-fought 3rd place with Bill Kolinske in the prestigious Manhattan Beach Open. Eric currently resides in Hermosa Beach, CA where he does the majority of his training.
