Mission Statement
Our mission at Six Nine Two is to help beach volleyball players realize their dreams. Our coaches use their experience, leadership, dedication and passion for the game to create a system that will allow our players to understand and excel at beach volleyball. We are constantly expanding and revising our system to provide our players with the greatest technical advantages. We aspire to create a supportive atmosphere and a positive experience that  will allow our players to reach success at the highest level.


692 is a program in Dallas designed to train juniors in Beach Volleyball. Beach Volleyball for juniors is quickly gaining popularity in Texas and in 2005 we started a program called 692 that immediately became the most successful Beach Volleyball program in the country, with our players dominating every age division of Regionals every year. Twelve of our players were invited to the Olympic Training Center in 2011 to train with the USA Beach Program. Our team won three National Championships in 2012 out of only four age divisions and six of players are currently playing beach volleyball for division one colleges. Our players are featured in several newspaper articles every year and our players were featured in Volleyball Magazine as "stars of the future" in 2009 and 2010. 

Beach Volleyball is now an NCAA sport and Colleges all over the nation are looking for beach volleyball players to represent their universities. Beach Volleyball in the past was a great way to develop your indoor game, but due to the popularity and success of the sport, it is now a new way to get a college scholarship! Some colleges have separate Beach Volleyball programs and some may use indoor players to form their beach program. We are developing a program to help our players get beach volleyball scholarships. They are available out there right now and we have been talking to the coaches of different programs to find out what they are looking for. We have taken recruiting trips to many of the universities to see their facilities and talk to their coaches. We are putting together a list of contacts for our players, helping them shoot videos, and taking them to the tournaments they need to go to in order to be seen by these prospective division one Universities. We are doing everything we can to make sure that we have the most comprehensive recruiting program in the country.

Beach Volleyball is an amazing tool for developing your hitting, defense, and ball control. Ask any college coach in the country and they will tell you that Beach Volleyball is the quickest way to develop your game.

Our program is an elite team coached by professional beach volleyball players. Coaching beach volleyball for juniors requires a combination of playing experience to understand the game, and coaching experience to know how to teach the game. Our coaches have decades of experience doing both and this has given our program a seven year track record of producing some of the best juniors players in the country. Our programs success is proven on the podium. We have trained dozens of players over the last seven years that have dominated this region in every age group, trained at the Olympic Training Center, and have been invited to represent the US in international competition. No other program in this region has produced a single player that can make any of these claims. 

Six Nine Two provides year-round training with our Fall, Spring, and Summer Programs. Our Fall season runs from August-October, Spring season starts in February and runs up to our Summer tryout in May, then our Summer season runs until late July.

Our team practices twice a week during the summer season at Yucatan Beach Club in Coppell. Our practices are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00-2:30 for girls 15 and older, including college age players, and 2:30-4:30 for 14 and under. These practices include a 30 minute warm-up and a 90 minute practice combined with a training session with our professional strength and conditioning coach. I know that it is difficult to get the girls to a practice during the day when both parents work, but we feel that training the girls in the heat is a necessary part of the game and we want them to be able to make it through a weekend tournament in the middle of the summer. The conditioning portion of these sessions is specifically designed to increase the girls' verticals and develop speed and stamina in the sand. The cost for the summer is $800 and this includes a Mikasa beach volleyball, a backpack, a jersey top, and a T-shirt or tank top. Your club fees also cover the cost of a water bottle for each girl at every practice. Your fees cover everything except tournament entry fees (which are about $15-$30/player) and your travelling expenses to out of town events. There is a tournament every Friday Night at Yucatan and also a tournament every weekend during the season. These weekend tournaments are on Saturday or Sunday. All practices and all tournaments are completely optional, so if you have vacation you need to work around, no problem. Our most successful teams will be at most practices and play in most tournaments, but some of our teams will only play in a few tournaments. Your commitment level is entirely up to you.

Check out the bios of our coaches in the coaches section and look what we have accomplished with our players over the last 7 years and you will understand why we are the most successful beach volleyball program in the country.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 5, 2010) The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ SportsUnited Office, in conjunction with USA Volleyball, is sending 20 beach volleyball athletes – 10 boys and 10 girls between the ages of 14-18 along with four coaches – to Russia on Aug. 6-21.

The delegation is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs’ SportsUnited Office as part of an exchange program under the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission’s Education, Culture, Sports and Media Working Group. The group will be hosted by the Russian Volleyball Federation and will visit both Moscow and Anapa.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) will also travel to Russia as a Sports Envoy and will guide the American and Russian players through beach volleyball clinics on Aug. 9-10.

 “I was in Russia in the 1980's and it was a life changing experience for me to see some of the training and cultural differences,” USA Volleyball beach coach Anna Collier (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) said. “I think it will be the same for these athletes.”

“The event will give several up and coming USA beach athletes a taste of international travel and training,” said Ali Wood Lamberson (Hermosa Beach, Calif.), USA Volleyball Director of International and Beach High Performance Programs. “We will be forging relationships with the Russian athletes and coaches, one of the top emerging countries on the international beach scene, and exposing them to beach volleyball USA style.”

The delegation will travel to Moscow for one week of volleyball clinics with Russian youth and cultural excursions. Their second week in Russia will be spent in the town of Anapa on the Black Sea coast, where they will have an opportunity to see a different side of Russia and practice at the state-of-the-art Volleygrad volleyball training center. This will be the first group of American youth athletes to travel overseas on a SportsUnited program.

Along with conducting clinics, May-Treanor will meet with ECA exchange program alumni at the American Center and attend a dinner hosted by the Russian Volleyball Federation and the Russian Ministry of Sport, Tourism, and Youth Policy.

“[The Delegation] will experience a different style of life and training, with the bonus of Misty May coming to Russia,” Collier said.

"My daughter has played for 692 Beach Volleyball for the past three years.  As a parent, it is important to me that my daughter is receiving quality instruction, continuously improving her game, and having fun in the process.  Scott Stover and the coaches at 692 Beach Volleyball have done a fantastic job providing a first class beach volleyball program to athletes here in North Texas, and 692's dedication to excellence is evident in the results that their players are achieving on the court in tournaments throughout the United States.  Madison now participates in the program year-round, and it has improved not only her beach volleyball game, but her indoor game as well.  We are proud to endorse 692 Beach Volleyball."   

- Brandt Johnson

 

"Scott and the 692 coaches are the reason this program is so successful! Their experience and knowledge of beach volleyball has resulted in the numerous accomplishments of the 692 players! Playing for any other sand volleyball team is a waste of your time, money and sunscreen! Scott has been coaching my daughters for the last 5 years and he has taken them from beginners to national champions!"

- Reggie Braasch


"When I was looking for a beach volleyball program for my daughter, I was told by her indoor coach, “If you want to play beach volleyball, the only club you want your daughter to play for is 692 Beach.  The coaching at 692 is far superior to any other club in the region”.  When we joined, it became evident why.  The knowledge, dedication and ability of these coaches to take my daughter from an entry level beach player and mold her into a nationally ranked player within a two year time frame amazed me!  Scott and his gifted coaching staff have cultivated a program that mirrors the exact way they themselves trained as professional beach players.  This is the primary reason why our 692 athletes are being sought after by college coaches and recruiters.  I am grateful and feel very blessed to have my daughter be a part of the 692 family!"

- Sommer Durante


"Scott started out with Mykah when she was so young she was barely a twig. He built her endurance, developed muscles she didn't even know she had, and gave her the gift of beach volleyball.  We love the program and see this being a part of her life for a long time."

- Sharon Wilson

 

"This was my daughters first time to play beach volleyball and she had an excellent experience with the coaches and staff at 692.  I watched my daughters skill level, respect for the game and competitive spirit improve every single week.  She enjoyed it so much she will be participating in the Fall program and we will be back next year!"

- Allen Billbray

 

"Hey!! Of course I have only great stuff to say about 692! I mean look at where it has taken us!! All of the coaches are great, committed, and just all around great people that definitely know the game of beach volleyball! They make beach volleyball fun and enjoyable while still pushing you during the practices! We have been to the Olympic Training Center many times over the past few years and 692 only teaches the best techniques in beach volleyball and are always adding new drills and techniques that improve my game every practice! What else is there to say? 692 is the place to go by far!!"

- Kiersten Braasch

 

"My daughter’s volleyball skills and confidence improved so much in her first season of beach volleyball with 692! The coaches are thorough in the techniques and strategies they teach. Because they are all so encouraging, they make hard work fun!"

- Sarah Thompson

 

"692 has been a HUGE part of our daughter’s volleyball development.  This is her second season to play beach, and she made the 15U High Performance Olympic Program as a 13 year old.  Several of the coaches at the camp spoke highly about the 692 training.  Our daughter has fallen in love with beach volleyball and now wants to play in college.  692 beach has helped her immensely with her indoor game as well.  Our first thought with joining 692 was to simply allow her to maintain touches on the ball and conditioning for indoor, but her love for the sport has grown into a desire to play beach as her first priority.  The coaches are all wonderful and encouraging, but we have a special place in our hearts for Bivin!  He cares so much about the players and families that he makes you want to be a better person and player.  Thanks 692 for inspiring our daughter!"

- Kelly Bass

 

"I really loved my experience at 692. I felt like the coaches knew what they were teaching us and I had alot of fun. I always looked forward to going to practice, and I really improved on my beach volleyball game."

- Tori Durney

 

"Being a new parent in the youngest age group I had no idea what to expect. I had heard that 692 was the place to be for girls that were serious about beach volleyball. Well, now that the year is done, I totally get it! After watching a good dozen plus tournaments its so obvious that no one trains or plays the way 692 does! Our girls were amazing, working extraordinarily hard all year and learned what beach volleyball is all about. Kelly absolutely loved it, became an incredible young sand volleyball player and will play 692 beach volleyball for years to come." 

- Larry Dorn

 

"This was my daughters first time playing with 692 and it really made a big difference in how they are playing now. I want to make a special remark about Bivin, he is a wonderful coach and a great human being."

- Mirta Echaniz

 

"The 692 Beach program provided a physically demanding, fun and exciting way for my daughter to play volleyball when she started at age twelve. After four seasons, the 692 Beach Volleyball program clearly improved my daughters strength, agility, quickness and ball control, but it also did great things for her enthusiasm and understanding of the game, both indoor and out."

- Jana Reed

 

"This summer was my first time playing beach volleyball, and I've learned so much. My partner and I have really improved over the season. The coaches are so nice and welcoming. When I was new and didn't know anything about beach volleyball, they didn't get frustrated, they understood and were patient."

- Allison Jackson


"This was my daughter's first time playing with 692. She loved the program! The coaches were great and she learned so much. She will definitely be back next summer."


- Joyce Koop

 

"Everyone involved in the 692 program is amazing! They have helped me accomplish so much in the past two seasons that I have been playing and I don’t know where I would be without them. Scott and all of the coaches care about helping their players become the best they can be. Their devotion to this sport and to the players is easily recognizable through their extra efforts at the tournaments, their availability for extra practice, and the attitude they instill in all of their players to outwork and outplay everyone else."


- Christina McAfee


"Whamo! Cool coaches, great instruction, wonderful friends, good times"

- Haley & Harper Hallgren
