Andy Benesh

Andy’s introduction to volleyball started at the Palos Verdes High School sand courts, where the indoor team trained during the offseason. After playing indoor at USC, he transitioned to the beach in 2018, playing with his friend and high school teammate Cole Fiers. They qualified for two AVP Main Draws that first summer, and Andy promptly fell in love with the sport. In his first four years, he played with AVP legends like Nick Lucena, Phil Dalhausser, Casey Patterson, and Billy Allen. Andy is now ready to embark on a new adventure with up-and-coming beach volleyball star Miles Partain.

Andy enjoys playing video games and reading when not on the sand. His favorite part of playing beach volleyball professionally is getting the opportunity to train and compete with some of the best athletes in the world. He looks forward to traveling the country and the world in the coming years, meeting fans and players everywhere he goes.
