COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.–  A total of 26 players have been named to the 2021 U.S. Collegiate Beach National Team (BCNT) with the University of Hawaii's Brooke Van Sickle among them.
 
All 13 women and 13 men on the roster will attend a training block in Huntington Beach, Calif., on June 21-26. Training-block sessions will be led by Christian Hartford (Athletic Performance Coach, U.S. Beach National Team), Patty Dodd (Beach National Team Training Group Coach) and Mike Dodd (Olympic silver medalist).
 
John Mayer, head beach volleyball coach at Loyola Marymount University (California), will lead the women's BCNT team. Meagan Owusu, former head beach volleyball coach at the University of California, will assist him.
 
Van Sickle just completed her junior season on the sand at UH, playing primarily at the top two flights. The native of Battle Ground, Wash., earned all-Big West first-team honors along with partner Amber Igiede after winning 12 of their final 13 matches of the season.  
 
Two other former BeachBows in Amy Ozee and Julia Scoles are also on the squad and will participate in the training camp this month as well. Each competed as graduate transfers this past year at Cal Poly and USC, respectively.
