Supporting the Next generation

BeachSports is a South Bay family owned and operated small business. We are parents of young children. We are passionate watermen and women. We care deeply about our community. And we are passionate about providing exceptional developmental, educational and inspiring program experiences for our participants, their families and our employees.

More than a camp, BeachSports programs are designed to nurture a love for the beach and ocean environment in our participants. Equally important to us is the development of young adults as they outgrow our programs.  Below is our vision and our “why”.

Our girls (5 yo and 7 yo) LOVED the camps! They did beach and surf camp, respectively, and couldn’t wait to go every morning. The coaches and counselors were really kind, fun and appeared to really enjoy making it an incredibly enjoyable experience for the kids. High recommend! – Julia S., 2024

This year has been the absolute best year yet. Everyone has been amazing from pick up and drop off to the instructors! Billy has come home every day so happy. The instructors have been so playful, encouraging, and insanely fun. We booked another week this summer because it was such a magical week. Thank you for everything! – Lauren A, 2024

It’s the best! I really appreciate how each kid is treated with respect and care without pressure to get too far outside of their comfort zone—particularly great for allowing kids to get comfortable in the water at their own pace. – Alison H, 2024

Camp was a great experience for my son. He was up and ready to get there by 7:00 every morning. He loved his teachers, the games and the friends he made. – Kimberly S, 2024

Our son had a hard time separating at drop off and Coach Joe did an amazing job giving him some extra attention and distracting him while we left – we knew he’d be happy once he was there and he was! – Sarah S, 2024

Our son loves attending BeachSports. The staff is always super friendly from drop off to pick up. They are giving him high fives and making him feel so included. He’s already asking when he’s going back. Jamie S, 2024

Our daughter wanted to spend a week in a Beach Camp so we enrolled her and flew out for a week. This year has been a challenge as we are navigating an autism diagnosis and realizing what challenges her and why. The staff has been responsive and extremely accommodating. This is by far the best camp I’ve ever had my kids in – and I have four children with K being my youngest.

Staff were amazing. Very positive, professional and attentive, yet still very fun. Their process of checking in and checking out gave me confidence every kid was being accounted for. Felt very comfortable dropping off my 4 year old for the first time at camp. If you want your kid to go to bed early, send them to beach camp. They will have a blast and be worn out by the end of the day 😉

We tried a bunch of different camps this year and it’s no surprise that Surf and Beach camps were the kids favorite. We asked them if they could only do one camp the whole summer and it was immediately “BeachSports”. You’ve always had the best coaches but this year was exceptional. From making the kids feel like an important part of the group to the ease of drop-off/pick-up, this summer was off the charts.

I got to watch my daughter in camp for a few hours and I was very impressed. The coaches had the rotations organized so well and they were really engaged with the campers, especially in the water. My daughter had such a great time that she’s literally crying because she already misses her coaches. That tells me she had a ton of fun and felt so taken care of!

My daughter loved SURF camp. She went in with zero experience and after a week wants to come back next year and continue with lessons!

Devin and the crew do an amazing job of ensuring that the groms are safe, well attended to, and most importantly, that they’re having fun from drop-off to pick-up!

Who we are

Jenn Martin

PROGRAM DIRECTOR
I’m originally from Apex, NC, and moved to California nine years ago—I LOVE being a part of the BeachSports team! With my background as a D1 soccer player and a degree in Kinesiology from UNCG, I bring over ten years of teaching and coaching experience to my role. As a mom of two and now the full-time Director of Operations, I feel so fortunate to work with kids of all ages—from young kids discovering new skills and passions to teens starting their first jobs and young professionals excited for mentorship and growth opportunities.

I love this community and all the people in it! I truly believe that it’s our people who make BeachSports so special! You can have the best curriculum, organization, and structure, but none of that really matters without the right people leading the way. Our team members play a huge role in shaping each child’s experience here, and that’s why we look for individuals who bring contagious positive energy every day, embrace challenges with a growth mindset, and are dedicated to being inspiring role models for the next generation.

One of the best parts of my job is getting to introduce families to our amazing team—good-hearted, passionate people who love working with kids and sharing their unique skills and enthusiasm with others.

I’m passionate about creating a warm, safe space where kids can learn something new, make great memories, and have a lot of fun along the way. I love connecting with our kids and their families to ensure that each day is a positive, enriching experience.

Looking forward to another amazing season with all of you!

Tommy Ostendorf

OWNER + EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Born and raised in Manhattan Beach, I’ve been a passionate waterman my whole life. I began teaching surf lessons as a 13 year old at the Manhattan Beach pier with Jimmy Miller’s Pure Surfing Experience (Jimmy Miller Foundation) and have been involved in the development and operation of youth programs every summer since.  I’m a Mira Costa graduate and have a business degree from the University of San Diego, where I was captain of the surf team and Collegiate National Champion in 2007.

I am a father of three amazing kids, 4, 6 and 8, who are my guide and inspiration for how we operate our BeachSports programs.  “Would I be comfortable dropping my kids off here?” is the question that drives every decision and improvement we make at BeachSports.  Last summer my youngest attended her first week of our BEACH program with her brothers.
