WHO WE ARE

Beyond the Net, Inc. is a 5013C organization focused on assisting young ladies from all background to have the opportunity to play and excel in the sport of volleyball.

OUR MISSION

To level the playing field in the sport of volleyball by removing financial barriers and providing access to quality training, camps, mentorship, and resources for talented athletes from under-represented communities, fostering a more diverse and inclusive volleyball landscape.

Our Team.

While participating in an Athletes of Color workshop during a volleyball tournament, our founder, Selah Brashear kept hearing a similar story. Many talented athletes felt stuck, sharing how finances and simply not having access to the right training or resources were holding them back from reaching the next level in their sport. Hearing firsthand how these hurdles were impacting passionate players really impacted Selah. She knew something needed to change, and that conversation sparked an idea. Inspired to make a real difference, Selah decided to launch Beyond the Net, Inc., creating an organization specifically to help tackle those challenges and open doors for more aspiring athletes.  She, along with the leadership team are committed to level the court.

WHAT WE DO

At Beyond the Net, Inc., we're passionate about providing tangible support that empowers young volleyball athletes to pursue their dreams. We directly address financial obstacles by offering funding assistance for critical development opportunities like camps, specialized training sessions, and club team fees. Recognizing that even basic equipment can be a barrier, we also collect and distribute necessary volleyball gear to players in need, ensuring they have what they need to step onto the court with confidence. Beyond these practical resources, our commitment extends to the whole athlete; we provide valuable mentoring relationships that foster self-belief, offer guidance, and actively support their journey toward college readiness, preparing them for future success both in volleyball and in life.

ABOUT US >

At Beyond the Net, we believe talent, not financial background, should determine success in volleyball. Too many promising young athletes, particularly from under-represented communities, are being sidelined due to the high cost of quality training, camps, and essential resources. We are dedicated to dismantling the financial hurdles that stand between gifted young athletes and their dreams.
