Meet Chip Schulte Founder & President of Beach Cities Volleyball since 2000
Chip graduated from Palisades High School, received his Bachelor of Arts in Speech-Economics in 1969 from California University, an MBA from Rutgers University in 1971, a CPA License in December 1972, and an MPI from USC in 1978. He served as President/CEO or as CFO of six business entities from 1974 to 2000, when he started Beach Cities Volleyball. He is married to Sarah Purcell Schulte, and has two sons and a daughter, 8 grandchildren, and one stepson.
In Chip’s words: “Tony Mayrie, Don Shaw and I started things at tryouts in October 1999. We had four players at the first tryouts but worked hard and were able to provide programming for four teams the first year, and then 10 teams the second year. Since then we have faced a global recession, global pandemic, and 10,000 bumps in the road, but with God’s blessings are still going. As with any endeavor of this nature, the coaches and wonderful families who have been part of the Beach Cities Volleyball have made this all occur.”
“The Mission Statement of Beach Cities Volleyball is to ‘Teach life skills and volleyball skills from 8 to 18’. The priorities are to have fun, teach volleyball skills, and act as positive role model. Our beginning players become Intermediate players, our Intermediate players become Advanced players, and our Advanced players have strong opportunities for a future that includes college volleyball careers.”
Chip has coached 12 Smack for 22 seasons; over 160 players on is past teams have gone on to high school volleyball careers, and his former players have had successful careers at colleges across the nation.
Hi Awesome Beach Cities Families!
As we move into the final week of January, we bid a 3-month adieu to our awesome High School Boys teams, as our players will be proudly competing for their schools. We can expect to learn of spectacular volleyball from those representing their high schools as well as Beach Cities Volleyball.
- New Gym Space: We have now started practicing at Maple Street Church Gym, Adams Middle School and Hull Middle School, and are starting operations at St John Fisher Church gym, to join our locations at Dana Middle School, Hermosa Valley School and our home gym at LA Galaxy.
- New Future Stars Programs: Mini Stars: Starting on Fridays, beginning March 3 rd , we will be offering a Mini Stars program, for players 6-8 years. Links are available at ‘Beachcitiesvbc.com’ to anyone interested.
- Palos Verdes Future Stars: Also starting on Tuesday February 28th, the normal Future Stars program (for beginning players 8-14) will be expanded to start in Palos Verdes at St John Fisher church gym at 6:00pm. Registration also available at ‘Beachcitiesvbc.com’.
- College Showcase: This past Thursday Beach Cities Volleyball held their first College Showcase for college coaches to view potential college players. The volleyball play was great!
Lastly, a sad note and gray day for the Beach Cities Volleyball Family. Our own Cait Naylor, a very brave and beautiful 14-year-old, and part of our Beach Cities Volleyball family, has passed away from cancer. Caitlin comes from a wonderful family. Currently, the Naylor family is in the process of making funeral arrangements and additional information about services will be shared at a later date. The family asked that any donations in Cait’s honor be directed to Children’s Cancer Therapy Development Institute. I personally will never forget our wonderful Cait! I’m sorry to end on that somber note.
February is another month of volleyball, including the fabled Vegas Classic (in Las Vegas) and the Volleyball Fiesta (in Phoenix).
I look forward to talking to you next week! Respectfully, Chip Schulte
