Landlocked ≠ Limited.🤘

CMU Beach Volleyball is led by two former Mavericks: Head Coach David Skaff and Assistant Ara Norwood. Like many Athletics programs, our student-athletes don't just leave campus with a degree. They come back to build what's next for the athletes who follow them.

Friday night was the perfect summer patio evening with Rowdy, our friends from Timberline Bank and plenty of Maverick alumni! From catching up over cold ones to one lucky Mav winning the Round-Up for Rowdy Yeti Cooler, we had a blast at WestCo Brewing.
