My Story
My name is Brice Paxson and up until recently, I lived in Southern California where I coached for 10 years exclusively beach volleyball. Beach Volleyball is the first time in sport that I experienced true joy. I grew up playing 5 sports in high school being involved in athletics at a very young age.
At age 19 I started coaching juniors for a beach club learning the sport. From there as I grew in my career of coaching I managed several High school teams as head coach. Having success coaching juniors then high scholars I applied to coaching college. I landed the job as assistant coach at Westcliff University where we went on to win regionals earning a bid to nationals taking 3rd.
From there I assisted coaching the Men’s Collegiate Beach Volleyball team at Westcliff University winning a national championship. Having experienced coaching college I volunteered for coaching at Vanguard 2 time back to back national champions. I learned a great deal from the Head Coach Kris Dorn that has enhanced my coaching ability.
After that I moved to Florida in January 2024 leaving my wonderful life from Huntington Beach Southern California where I spent the last ten years. There I learned the game through great mentors and Olympic level coaches as well as competing in professional tournaments year round. Having access to training with pro athletes and consistent high-level competition I realized the players life was not for me.
When I arrived in Florida I spent the first eight months working for a volleyball club learning how South Florida operates and furthering my experience as a beach coach. Once I was more familiar with Florida living, I got the job assisting at FIU gaining more knowledge and understanding. With all this being said I have coached every age group from 8 years to grown adults. I have learned from professionals as well as competed in professional tournaments.
Beach Volleyball has a special place in my heart. I adopt the principle Person First Player Second. For me the athletes always come first and its about their experience. I am merely a guide in their journey of this beautiful sport. Whether they want to just have fun on the sand or aspire to play in college D1. Elevate Beach is a place where you will learn to do exactly that, Elevate yourself in life and sport.
You will learn the game in and out as well as how to handle yourself in pressure situations. At Elevate Beach your training is catered to your intention as is the coaching. I look forward to connecting with you and showing you my character.

This can be over the phone or in person if you would like.
Second step is I meet the athlete and give them an analysis on sand to determine the best spot for them and understanding for us on how to train them. 3rd if they are a good fit for the training group and our principles we integrate them to our culture and they are apart of team Elevate Beach.
