About LSU
LSU Beach Volleyball enters their 12th season as a program and their seventh season in the state-of-the-art stadium located on LSU’s campus. The LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium has been home to the Sandy Tigs since 2019 and has quickly become one of the premier beach volleyball facilities in the country. With chairback seating in the grandstand and a grass berm on the opposite side, LSU fans can take in the action many different ways while also having scoreboards on both sides of the court allowing fans to easily keep track of all six courts.

The Tigers enter the 2025 season with several key players from last season’s starting lineup, including AVCA Second Team All-American Gabi Bailey, CCSA Pair of the Year and NCAA All-Tournament Team honoree Parker Bracken, CCSA All-Freshman Team standout Skylar Martin, and AVCA Top Flight members Aubrey O’Gorman, Emily Meyer, and Yali Ashush. The team will look to leadership from the key returners.

Under the direction of Brock, the Sandy Tigs have been ranked within the AVCA Top 10 every week and made it to the NCAA Tournament every year since he took over in 2017. Brock has coached 15 AVCA All-Americans and Top Flight honorees, one AVCA Pair of the year, four CCSA Pair of the Year and two Olympians. The Sandy Tigs are coming off a Final Four run in the 2024 season and are looking to carry over that momentum into 2025.
