2011 was another HUGE year for BeachDig in the sand. BeachDig standout Stephanie Pellitteri became the first player in history to sign a sand volleyball scholarship for college. Fellow BeachDig members Aurora, Jeassica and Tay have also received scholarships to play college sand volleyball in 2012. Four more BeachDig players have since committed, on scholarship for the 2013 season, while several more being looked at. The future of Beach Volleyball has never been brighter!
Parent Testimonial "Congrats on the wonderful news about Stephanie and Aurora getting scholarships. As much as both girls deserve the recognition for their hard work on the beach, you too deserve kudos for your unconditional love, support and dedication not only to these fine athletes but all in the Club BeachDig family. We can honestly state without hesitation that you are an inspiration to our daughter Macie and her phenomenal development both as a player and young woman is the result of her many hours on and off the court with you and all the other talented Beach Dig coaches. We as parents have to make many important decisions in our children’s lives that will ultimately impact them for years to come. We truly believe that the decision we made several years ago to join you and Club BeachDig was life changing and monumental not only for Macie but for our entire family. While we do not know how far Macie will go with her beach volleyball talents, we do know that she has and will continue to receive the finest in coaching and training that will take her to new heights throughout her life on and off the beach. As parents, we simply could not ask for much more." ~ Greg Tendrich

Stephanie won several Florida Region volleyball tournaments as well as a silver medal at the Junior National Championships in Hermosa, California. She also won the adult AAA National Championships in Miami, Fl.
We look forward to following her college career at FSU as she paves the way for future beach volleyball stars.
"I'm so thankful for BeachDig coaches! Since '07 training with Cindy and all the Club BeachDig coaches has been life changing. Beach volleyball became my life and Club BeachDig has given me so many opportunities! I'm now a Sand Volleyball college athlete with one of the first scholarships at FSU and it is because all of my coaches and awesome training! Even though BeachDig is over for me, I still am in contact with my BeachDig coaches and I know I can ask them questions when ever I need them about playing, training or anything! Thanks for preparing me for college and giving me so many opportunities! ~ Stephanie Pellitteri _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Aurora Newgard & Jeassica McGregor - Scholarships Florida State UniversityAurora and Jeassica were partners on the beach when they trained with Club BeachDig, and now they are teammates on FSU's first ever sand volleyball team. Both Aurora and Jeassica recevied scholarships as FSU right along with Stephanie and they are now training hard and looking forward to making history! Together they dominated on the beach winning numerous junior events and then they both continued on to play indoor in college until they were recruited by FSU. They also both did very well competing in the adult divisions of the beach tournametns in Florida.
Even though they may not be partners in college, they still get to train together every day and we look forward to follwing both of their college careers in the sand.
They have been great role models for our younger club members, always having a postive attitude, being open and coachable and working hard.

 Tay Kennedy - Scholarship Stetson UniversityTay joined Club Beach Dig in 2009 and then was unable to return in 2010 due to a knee injury. But, in 2011 she returned to the beach full force with her younger sister in tow! Tay spent the summer of 2011 training with our top Beach Dig players in our Pompano location. She worked hard honing her skills and getting ready for her first season of college sand volleyball at Stetson University. While Taylor trained with Club Beach Dig in 2011, she competed in the Adult AA Co-ed division of the Florida tournaments where she was consistently in the top 3 teams in the state. We look forward to following Tay's career on the Stetson Sand Volleyball team as she will surely face some of her fellow Beach Dig teammates. We are also excited to have her younger sister Mack in the Club Beach Dig family and we are expecting great things from her as well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Milani Pickering - Scholarship Georgia State University 2013We were lucky enough to have Milani travel from Mesa, AZ to join our Club BeachDig San Diego program in 2011. She was already an amazing player so it was really fun to help develop her skills at a higher level. We watched her compete in the National Championships in Hermosa and she also attended our College Scout Camp where she was spotted by Georgia State's sand coach Beth VanFleet. We are proud to say that Milani has since been recruited and has committed to play sand volleyball for Georgia State starting in 2013!
Although we only had her in our club for a short time, Milani has since attended two of our camps and we look forward to continuing to work with her as much as possible until she heads of to GSU. "The training was awesome! I love doing those drills! They are nice to learn so I can keep practicing them here In AZ! Thank you and all the coaches for the great input and evaluations they help a lot! Cant wait to train with all of you again!" `~Milani Pickering

 Nina Pellitteri- Scholarship Florida State University 2013It wasn't long after her older sister Stephanie started achieving success on the beach, that Nina joined Club Beach Dig and started to build her own legacy. Nina and her partner Savanah dominated 2011 on the Florida junior's beach curcuit. After an almost perfect season in Florida, the girls were selected to travel to Hermosa Beach, California to compete at the Junior National Championships where they came home with a Gold Medal in the silver bracket.
Nina has followed in her sister's footsteps and has committed to play sand volleyball for FSU in 2013! Until she heads off to Tallahassee, Nina and her younger sister Brittany continue to train with Club Beach Dig, and attend our off-season camps and clinics. She has decided not to play indoor club volleyball this year and will focus soley on her beach training. We look forward to seeing the two Pellitteri sisters playing for the same college sand volleyball team! Keep your eyes open for the triple threat on the horizon! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________
 Kayla Joyce and Julie Brown - Scholarships Florida State University 2013These two have been joined at the hip since they were small children. Together they have achieved great success both indoor and on the beach and they have been amazing athletes and role models for young girls. Kayla and Julie have been members of our Orlando division of Club Beach Dig for several years. It didn't take them long to jump to the top of their division taking home medal after medal, every weekend. Their toughest competition finally came from their friends and other Beach Dig members Nina and Savannah. It became an ongoing battle for the Gold between these two teams at every single event in 2011. We knew we could always count on an exciting final in the girls U18 Open division. Kayla and Julie were also selected to represent the Florida region of USAV in Hermosa, California where they brought home a silver medal. We expect to see great things from these two as they head off to FSU next year. Until then, they continue to work hard and improve their skills both indoor and on the sand. Wherever they decided to go, we knew it was going to be together, so we're glad they ended up at FSU!
