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!
I hope all of you are having a nice Spring, cool as it has been. I usually move my team’s Saturday practices from the gym to the beach, on the “Spring Forward Day”, which was March 10th, but this year the temperature has been in the high 50’s or low 60’s on Saturday mornings at 9AM, so we have continued to practice in the gym. I know our players look forward to being able to play on the beach soon.

These tournaments are generally on Sunday afternoon, although on Father’s Day the tournament day will move back to Saturday.
