Gene Bingle has called Jacksonville Beach home for nearly 20 years. A lifelong beach lover and a true volleyball enthusiast, Gene’s passion for the game goes far beyond simply playing—it fuels his everyday. While many enjoy the thrill of competition, Gene’s love for coaching and diving deep into the techniques of beach volleyball is what sets him apart.

Most nights, you’ll find him up late studying AVP matches on YouTube, analyzing the latest strategies, and soaking up every bit of knowledge he can. Why? He wants to be fully prepared to help his players succeed in their private beach volleyball lessons.

His players love the way he breaks the game down into clear, digestible lessons—turning complex techniques into easy-to-grasp takeaways that stick. It’s this ability to teach, explain, and inspire that makes Gene such an exceptional coach.

Whether you’re brand new to the sport, looking to sharpen your skills for fun, or preparing for a big match, Gene knows how to bring out your best. He has coached players at all levels and especially enjoys seeing potential in new players they didn’t even know they had.

Beyond the court, Gene brings a mindful, holistic approach to his coaching. A spiritual and wellness-focused teacher, he incorporates yoga, stretching, and breathing techniques into both his own practice and his volleyball coaching. He credits yoga with keeping him strong and active for decades and encourages his athletes to use it as a tool to enhance performance and longevity in the game.

When you train with Gene, you’ll feel his energy, passion, and dedication right away. More than just a coach, he’s a mentor, motivator, and teacher who truly loves helping his players grow.

Ask anyone—Gene is one of the very best in Jax Beach.
