about

CUTSHOT WAS FOUNDED BY THREE FRIENDS WHO MET ON THE SANTA MONICA SAND PLAYING VOLLEYBALL.

United by the love of beach volleyball, our casual games quickly evolved into a shared vision: to create a league where we are pushed by competition and nurtured by connections.

“I’ve been playing volleyball for over a decade, having played in high school abroad in Quito, Ecuador and competed in multiple Caribbean international school tournaments while captaining the team my last two years. I discovered beach volleyball when moving to Los Angeles after a college track career in Orange County and immediately fell in love with the sport that let me spend my time on the sand & in the sun.

Exposure to a wide array of sports (swimming, cricket, field hockey and rugby in South Africa; soccer, volleyball and basketball in Ecuador; track & field in California) at different levels and in different places gives me a unique insight into how best bring a competitive, organized, and engaging experience to those looking to play volleyball of any type on the west side.”
