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.

- Finally, Sarah & I hope you are having a great start to the summer. After 8 days in Phoenix & 5 days in Salt Lake City for the Nationals, I arrived home to see the Beach Boys on the 4th of July. From the perspective of an old surfer from the late fifties, sixties & seventies, it doesn’t get any better than the Beach Boys on the 4th! Then after a week of long hours at the Beach Cities Volleyball office, we finally are enjoying a one-week vacation in the mountainous forest in Northern California. At present my family (my wife Sarah & I, two sons, their wives & 7 grandchildren) are at a family reunion in a wonderful Family Camp named Montecito Sequoia, about 4 hours north & east of the South Bay. We took my sons to Montecito Sequoia in the late 90’s, so my sons traveled from Utah & Texas with their families to make this family reunion possible. Like the Beach Boys on July 4th, it truly doesn’t get any better.
Good fortune & Blessings, Chip Schulte
