About Us

Julie Harris

Jules is the sweetest kindest person you will ever meet. She makes an already sunny San Diego beach even brighter with her positive attitude and big smile. Jules has played volleyball for over 20 years and is passionate about the sport. She started indoor volleyball in high school, traveled with her national team, and lead her club team at the University of Virginia. It wasn't until she met her husband, Dave Harris, that she discovered her love for beach volleyball.

Jules has lived in San Diego since 2013 and started really embracing beach volleyball shortly after she gave birth to her son, Cooper, in 2015. Cooper is the one giving her the big smooch on the left. Jules is also blessed with a 7-year-old daughter, Savannah, who has begun her own journey with beach volleyball!

When Savannah started Kindergarten, other parents started asking Jules about her beach volleyball hobby. Those parents asked Jules if there were any elementary level beach volleyball clinics. Jules didn't know of any so she started getting requests to start one...and Lil digs was born!

Jules still loves playing beach volleyball on the daily but now she's been given the chance to pass on her passion to the next generation. It's truly been a dream come true. Thanks for reading and see you on the sand!

Debbie Powers

Deb grew up in Canada but has lived in San Diego for over twenty years. She is married with three amazing daughters, all of whom are athletes in various sports. Deb played indoor volleyball in high school and college beach volleyball with the San Diego City Knights last season (2020). I want to be like Deb when I grow up! ;)

Deb is passionate about the sport of beach volleyball! Not only is the sport itself fulfilling, but the environment, friendships, and community that come with it create a pretty awesome lifestyle. Deb trains and plays almost daily and she is excited to be able to share her passion and teach you and your children the skills needed to find your own love of the game.

Dave Harris

Dave is THE REASON the Harris Family loves beach volleyball. He has an infectious energy on and off the court, and his passion for the sport shows every time he "hits the sand." And kids just LOVE Dave! He is always so fun.

Dave started playing indoor and beach volleyball during college...it helped that he went to a university in Florida. ;) However, he found the ultimate beach experience when he moved to Huntington Beach, Ca and played several times a week building his skills to hang with the best. After several cross country moves to convince his new bride that the West Coast is the best coast, our family landed in San Diego in 2013.

Raising his family in Southern California weather and enjoying the beach and the people that beach volleyball brings into his life... Dave really feels like he made his dreams come true. While an engineer by day, Dave is thrilled to be a part of our mission to spread the joy and love of beach volleyball to other families.
