The D1 Beach Recruiting Vault
The full library. 14 D1 head coaches. In their own words.
Most recruiting advice is written by people who've never recruited. This is the opposite.
The Vault is the complete library of long-form Part 2 interviews with 14 Division I head beach volleyball coaches — Olympic gold medalists, NCAA champions, Hall of Famers, and the head coaches actually making roster decisions at the programs your daughter is targeting.
Unedited. In-depth. The conversations where they explain how they evaluate recruits, what families consistently get wrong, and what actually earns a roster spot.
This is the source material. Nothing else like it exists in beach volleyball.
What's inside:
- 14 full Part 2 video interviews — the in-depth conversations, not the highlight reels
- The D1 Coach Compendium (76-page PDF) — 191 distilled insights cross-referenced by theme, included free

Who this is for:
Families with a daughter 13-17 playing beach volleyball who want to play D1 — and want to hear it directly from the people making the decisions, not from third-party services trying to sell them something.
If your daughter is serious about D1, the Vault is the most direct line you'll get to the actual head coaches recruiting her age group.
Topics covered across the interviews:
Recruiting timing & calendar · Communication & outreach cadence · Film vs. live evaluation · Character, culture & coachability · Parent dynamics & how parents quietly hurt their daughters' chances · Mindset & competitive identity · Camps vs. tournaments · How coaches actually evaluate recruits
About me:
I'm Tomas Salava — former pro on the FIVB and AVP tours, two-time Czech National Champion in beach and indoor, M.A. in Developmental Education and Psychology. I've personally helped 23+ families place their daughters at Division I programs including Cal, Oregon, USC, Cal Poly, and others.
The 14 coach relationships behind the Vault aren't borrowed credibility — they're my actual working network. No other recruiting resource in beach volleyball offers this level of coach access.
Founders pricing: $197 (regular price $247)
