The Bear Down Beach is one of the newest additions to the Arizona Athletics facilities. The courts were completed in December 2013 in preparation for the inaugural beach volleyball season in the spring of 2014. Beach volleyball became the school’s 20th varsity sport when it was announced on Jan. 15, 2013. Bear Down Beach was home to the Pac-12 Beach Volleyball Championship in 2017 and 2022.
The facility features four championship courts which contain 18” deep, beach quality, high-end sand. Arizona Athletics has future plans to add grandstands, concessions, restrooms as well as a new front entry.
