Volleyball Beach

What Volleyball Beach does

Volleyball Beach is a private recreational sand volleyball facility founded in 1989 and headquartered in Martin City, Kansas City, Missouri. It operates 14 outdoor sand volleyball courts and 8 seasonal indoor courts housed under what the company describes as the largest heated sand volleyball air-dome in the country, maintained at 72 degrees Fahrenheit to enable year-round play. The core product surface consists of Coed 6's and Coed 4's leagues running four seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter Dome) across four skill divisions (A-Power, BB-Upper Intermediate, B-Intermediate, C-Recreational), with sessions typically 9-10 weeks in length.

The business operates across four primary revenue streams. League fees are the recurring base, with teams paying $120-$240 per team per season depending on time slot and format. Corporate and private event rentals generate one-time fees ranging from $250 for weekday daytime space to $600 for full-day Saturday bookings, with food and beverage catering starting at approximately $8 per person and drink tickets at $6 each. Weekend tournaments, including charity and co-ed formats, are priced at $150-$180 per team. The on-site Beachside Bar & Grill supplies a fourth revenue stream through food and beverage sales, including a text-to-order service that delivers to the sand.

Customer segments span recreational and competitive adult volleyball players (primary), corporate groups of 30-330 people seeking team-building venues (named customers include HUB International Insurance, Cerner Corp., Research College of Nursing, and Kansas City Orthopaedic Institute), private event customers (birthdays, weddings, family reunions), and charities/non-profits hosting fundraising tournaments. Registration is handled through the third-party Volleyball Life platform, supported by a Find A Player online forum and active social channels across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. In April 2024, Volleyball Beach became a subsidiary of Genesis Health Clubs, integrating into a regional health and fitness network.
