Parking
Location: PCH & Brookhurst by the volleyball courts.
Please note that in previous years, the wait time to park in the beach lot has been up to an hour or more. I’ve been informed that construction is currently taking place in the lot closest to our area, which will further limit parking availability. As a result, you may be redirected to a more distant lot.
We have scheduled check-in for 10:30 AM specifically to accommodate these potential delays. Games will begin promptly at 12:00 PM, so all team members, especially those playing volleyball first, must be checked in and ready to go by then.
Given the expected wait times, parking distance, and other possible delays, we strongly encourage everyone to arrive early to ensure a smooth start.
Check-In & Food
Check-In
- Look for this flag and reference location once you've arrived!
