Get Noticed Beach Vollyball!

2024 GNBV Schedule

📅 The 2024 GNBV schedule is up!

We plan as far ahead as we can because we know everyone has travel arrangements, school and family schedules, and of course parents have work schedules too.

There are three dates in 2024, and you don’t want to miss this. Before every event we receive calls at the last minute asking about any open space in divisions that are already closed. Don’t wait to sign up! GNBV showcases are national events which draw players from across the United States, Canada, and beyond.

Dates:

Check in for these events starts at 7 am, and can be done via automated email. A morning meeting happens at 7:45 am, and balls are in the air at 8 am.

Location:

We’re in Santa Monica, just north of the pier where the old Route 66 ends. The address is 1200 PCH, Santa Monica, CA 90401. Some maps also list the location as 1200 CA-1, Santa Monica. You can use this Google Maps or Apple Maps link to find your way.

Event details:

These events are designed to give college coaches the time to see all the players. Pool play and playoffs are designed to give college coaches the time to see players, plus everyone goes to playoffs. All scoring is done using Volleyballlife to make sure college coaches know how a game is going so they can plan their activities without missing games they want to see. Everyone, including players and parents, not just coaches and reffing teams can see the score online.

The Saturday before each event we also offer a Kauai Bikini warm up tournament and BVNE hosts two college coaches clinics. You can find out more about these events on VolleyballLife.

Please click on the dates above to read more about each event. We’ll see you there!

GNBV’s 10th Anniversary

We’ve made it to our 10th anniversary!

GNBV celebrates our 10th anniversary of helping athletes “Get Noticed” and recruited to play beach volleyball at Division I NCAA schools. My name is Daron Forbes & I started the journey to get my own daughter recruited. As an indoor club owner my goal was to get my daughter recruited and return back to indoor. After that first tournament the college coaches asked for more and here we are ten years later. I closed my indoor club Team WAVE aka We Are Volleyball Elite and went all in on beach. So far that we know of, we have helped 777 athletes achieve their dreams of playing beach volleyball in college. You can see all these athletes & where they got recruited to by visiting our committed only page at @gnbv.commits on instagram.

To read more about my story and how I started with indoor and finally made it to the beach, visit this link on bvne.org.

We can’t wait for the next Get Noticed Beach Volleyball aka GNBV National College Recruiting Showcase Feb 4th in Santa Monica. This one will be international with teams traveling from Ecuador to participate. Over the years we have had athletes travel from Singapore, Denmark, England, Mexico, Ecuador, Columbia, Canada, & Puerto Rico.

Because teams are traveling from around the world to play we made it a two day series of events with lots of options to choose from so athletes can make the most of their trip. Here’s what a showcase weekend in Santa Monica, CA looks like:

Saturday
BVNE Sunrise College Coaches Clinic 7am-9am

Kauai Bikini tournament
9:30am-2:30am
Every paid entry gets a two piece KB top & bottom of their choice.

BVNE Sunset College Coaches Clinic
3:00pm-5pm

Clinics are open to any and all entrants. The is this an awesome opportunity for the athletes to train with up to 6 or 7 college coaches, learn new drills & prepare for the showcase. It’s also a great place to network with other athletes for potential new partners and make life long connections with new friends.

Athletes can customize their weekend with any combo of events that first their schedule.

Sunday is the grand finale, our GNBV National College Recruiting Showcase. On average we have 15 college coaches who travel from across the United States to watch athletes play. USC, UCLA, Pepperdine, Long Beach, LMU, Vanguard, Concorida, Cal Poly, Tulane, South Carolina, Stanford & Cal Berkeley just to name a few, are the schools that are staples at our events.

Over the years we have figured out what works for the athletes, college coaches and our system is set and ready for another amazing ten years. As we celebrate our success with the players, families & college coaches we strive to keep getting better. It’s easy when you do what you love and love what you do.

Thank you to all who have help GNBV become the largest national college recruiting showcase and we look forward to see everyone on the sands of Santa Monica, CA.

Director of GNBV

In case you missed the GNBV National Recruiting Showcase and the Kauai Bikini Tournament in Santa Monica, here’s how it went!

GNBV Returns to Santa Monica

GNBV National College Recruiting Showcase back in Santa Monica Beach, California!

After hosting virtual and in person showcases from Florida to California, were super excited to be back on our home beach after traveling for the last 12 months. On October 10th GNBV returned to person with over 22 college coaches spent the day to recruit athletes from across the United States and Canada.  Teams played in a tournament format, playing 2 games to 21 in pool play, so college coaches had ample time to watch them play in person for recruiting purposes.  

The day before the showcase, BVNE hosted two college coaches clinics so athletes have the chance to train with up to eight different college coaches, learn new skills and improve their overall game.  

With 64 teams signed up and in person college coaches on site it was a great day on the beach. We recorded the 16’s and 18’s gold division final matches for the GNBV YouTube channel.  Video from our last virtual showcase in Canada as well as the October 10th event was provided to coaches on site. 

Everyone can view our full length video by visiting youtube.gnbv.net or just visit YouTube and search for “Get Noticed Beach Volleyball”.  GNBV is not a recruiting service. We host events and bring everyone together in one place so athletes can Get Noticed and college coaches can watch the athletes who are interested in playing in college, in person.  It’s that simple and we are excited to be back in action at 1200 PCH, Santa Monica.  Theres nothing better than being outside on our home courts in the fresh air hosting our GNBV National College Recruiting Showcase.  

To get a glimpse of how many athletes have been noticed at our events visit our committed page on instagram at @gnbv.commits. As of October 2021, 559 athletes that we know of have played in our events, been watched by on site colleges and later committed to play colligate beach volleyball for one of the colleges who was present at the event.  Our showcase has three divisions for 14U, 16U and 18U, with the 16U being the most popular college coaches start watching athletes at a young age so playing in our 14U division can prove to be very helpful for when an athlete reaches the recruitable age.

GNBV 2021 Virtual Showcases and the NCAA dead period

Since our first event in 2014, we’ve grown and adapted along the way. 2020 was no different. Here we are in 2021, about to adapt again, with more news about the NCAA dead period.

GNBV was the first Virtual Showcase, created in July 2020. With much success coming out of Canada with over half the athletes committing and more with offers coming, resulting from just one event. The virtual showcase proved to be what was need durning NCAA’s dead period. 

The NCAA has extended the dead period for all sports once again.  As of February 2021, the new end date is now set to be May 31st and this means in person recruiting will have been banned for well over a year before this is over.

Recruiting hasn’t stopped. At GNBV we adapted to the new normal instead of waiting for the old normal to return. In 2020 we were the first to create Virtual College Recruiting Showcases and keep recruiting going. Check our @bvne.commits page to see how it has been going, and remember the only way to be featured is to let us know you committed. We’re not you’re recruiter and won’t know unless you tell us.

Play GNBV Virtual Showcases where we handle the video from event day, load it into the GNBV YouTube Channel, load it to the event results, and provide players copies of their video, all included in the ticket price. When we list your video on our public YouTube channel at “Get Noticed Beach Volleyball” it’s for all to see. College coaches, friends and family can now view your video whenever they would like.

The GNBV YouTube Channel is the edge to getting noticed. College coaches are using our unedited event video to see if a player coachable, to see how you handle pressure situations, are you a supportive partner, are you in good physical shape and ready for the college game.  These are just a few of the things college coaches are looking at which are in full length GNBV video.

The dead period will end May 31st. Come play at our very first IN Person College Recruiting Showcase June 5th and 6th.

GNBV is not a recruiter or scout. We host clinics and college recruiting showcases in person and virtual. All athletes are welcome to bring a coach or recruiter with them to our showcase or clinics.

Local events are happening across North America. Find an event near you.
