Why Ocean Point

Ocean Point Volleyball

Ocean Point Volleyball is about the development of the entire athlete. We build multi-dimensional players who are excellent at all skills through innovative training in and out of the gym. This includes elite coaching, cross-training with beach volleyball, plyometric work, vertical leap training, nutrition, and more. We develop players who are technically sound, mentally tough, and possess a high volleyball IQ. We teach the entire game: all technical skills, decision-making, leadership, systematic offense/defense, teamwork, situational awareness, and the ability to win. We equip players to make their high school teams, thrive in college, and—if they dream big enough—compete on the national and global stage.

We will provide additional training outside of regularly scheduled team practices to supplement the development of the athlete. These include conditioning sessions, beach/grass volleyball tournaments, and skill specific training. Ocean Point will bring in high level coaches for these skill specific training’s such as Miles Partain (2024 Olympian), Andrew Rowan (3x First-Team All American), and many more.

Testimonials

What Our Parents Say

I cannot recommend Ocean Point Volleyball Club highly enough. This year, my son has developed such a genuine love and passion for the game, and I truly credit that to the dedication, encouragement, and inspiration of his coaches.

The growth I’ve seen in him, not only as a volleyball player, but also as a person both on and off the court has been incredible. He looks forward to the practices, enjoys talking with his coaches and teammates, reflects on games, attends college games, and has even taken the initiative to create his own practice routine. Seeing his excitement, confidence, and commitment grow throughout the season has been so rewarding.

Ocean Point is much more than a volleyball club. The coaches are building athletes, developing character, and creating a community that positively impact so many boys and their families. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience my son has had and look forward to many more seasons with Ocean Point to watch him and his teammates grow through this amazing program.

We are incredibly grateful for Ocean Point Volleyball Club and its director, Alex Knight, whose integrity, positivity, and commitment to developing character in young athletes are evident in everything he does. The entire coaching staff creates a safe, supportive environment where players are challenged, encouraged, and inspired by coaches they genuinely look up to. Our son not only grew significantly as a volleyball player, but also as a teammate and young man, and we feel fortunate to be part of the Ocean Point family.

Alex is an incredibly encouraging and positive coach and the kind of role model every young athlete should have. He is fair and intentional in developing all of his players equally, ensuring each athlete feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their potential. His coaching goes beyond volleyball—he teaches teamwork, confidence, respect, and perseverance. What stands out most is his genuine investment in each player, both as an athlete and as a young person.

His patience, positivity, and high standards create an environment where players can learn, grow, and thrive. We are grateful for the lasting impact he has on our son.

We joined Ocean Point Volleyball Club last year, which was their inaugural season, and Alex Knight and his team of coaches didn’t disappoint! I believe this is the best volleyball club in the LA area, and there is plenty of evidence to support this.

My son has played on many teams, and none of them have had the caliber of coaches that this club has. He got coached by current UCLA players, national champions, Olympians, professional players, and national team members who brought their knowledge and experience to the table. No other team can offer this!

They really connected and cared for our boys and made sure it was a fun team to be on, and that they grew as players too!

I highly recommend this club to anyone that wants to elevate their son’s game on the court!

Our experience with this club during its inaugural season has been nothing short of incredible. Founded by highly decorated UCLA player Alex Knight and led by an exceptional group of coaches from UCLA, the club has created an amazing culture for the boys—one built around discipline, teamwork, confidence, and a genuine love for the game. Just as importantly, the coaches are helping shape these boys into better teammates, better young men, and ultimately, better human beings.

The impact on our son has been tremendous. His development as a volleyball player has exceeded our expectations, but what has impressed us even more is how much he has grown to love the sport.

The quality of coaching and mentorship they give these young athletes is truly special, and we feel fortunate that our son has been part of it from the beginning. We couldn’t be more excited about his future with the program.

Lots of love to the OG OP coaches—Matthew, Zack, and Grant!

Community Service

Ocean Point serves the Santa Monica Bay from Palos Verdes to Malibu. More than volleyball, we build character and teamwork through service. The club hosts several service projects in the community each year and is committed to the long-term rebuilding of the Pacific Palisades, care for our beaches and ocean, and support of those in need.
