🎞️ Sports filmmaker. 🤳 Shot on Pocket Cam.
😎 ERIC CAM = a Beach Volleyball vlog 🏐💪.
👁️🗨️ The Lens. We all have a lens. This one pointed at games, tournaments, training sessions, camps, players grinding, memories, and behind-the-scenes moments.
🧞♂️ The Person. This one chose to create an independent video vault preserving an era of beach volleyball memories.
📹 Filmed primarily from an end-line perspective, ERIC CAM gives players and fans a unique look at the game to study technique / strategy etc. while showcasing rallies, personalities, competition, and the community.
📺 Every upload becomes a permanent record of moments that can never be replayed live, but can always be revisited here.
🏛️ The archive is FREE to explore. If you enjoy it, the Community Fund helps preserve future productions for the beach community.
🙏 Thank you to everyone who appeared in a video, shared a moment, left a comment, timestamped a highlight or supported the channel along the way.

We told them to chase the dream. Now it’s our turn to show up.
WE TELL KIDS
TO DREAM BIG.
What happens when
they actually do?
⸻
We put our kids in sports.
We buy the equipment.
Drive them to practice.
Find them coaches.
And tell them:
“Work hard. See how far you can go.”
⸻
We show them the greats.
The champions.
The Olympians.
The professionals.
We use their success
to inspire the next generation.
⸻
And some kids listen.
They practice for years.
They sacrifice.
They compete.
They get really, really good.
⸻
Then something strange happens.
They reach the highest levels…
and much of the support
that encouraged the dream
disappears.
⸻
Imagine spending 10–15 years
becoming exceptional at something…
only to discover that becoming exceptional
doesn’t guarantee anyone will show up
to watch.
⸻
I think we can do better.
Not through charity.
Through participation.
Show up.
Watch.
Cheer.
Follow.
Share.
⸻
Because there is an unwritten
social contract here.
If we encourage generations of kids
to chase extraordinary goals…
we should be willing to show up
for the ones who get there.
⸻
And businesses?
You invest in uncertain outcomes
every single day.
Products.
Advertising.
Ideas.
People.
Athletes are worth investing in too.
⸻
You don’t need to sponsor
the biggest name in the sport.
Find an athlete you believe in.
Help with travel.
Training.
Equipment.
Entry fees.
Content.
Opportunity.
Grow together.
⸻
Los Angeles:
Some of the best beach volleyball players
in the world are about to compete
in our backyard.
Not on a television screen.
Right here.
⸻
THE MANHATTAN BEACH OPEN
Come to the beach.
Bring your friends.
Bring your kids.
Pick a team.
Choose a side.
Get invested.
SHOW UP.
⸻
And if you’re a business
that wants to get involved…
Happy to help connect you with athletes.
Big sponsorship or small.
Let’s find a player
whose journey you want to be part of.
⸻
We spent generations
telling kids to chase the dream.
Some of them did.
Now it’s our turn
to show up.
MANHATTAN BEACH OPEN

Oct. 31 marks 5 years since I started the Eric Cam YouTube channel.
For the 2026 Manhattan Beach Open, I may film some of the matches I watch and preserve the footage for my own archive. If I’m inspired, I may eventually upload a full match or turn a moment into a vertical reel/short, but I don’t plan on rushing anything online during the event.
There should already be plenty of ways to follow along live, with Nathan from Beach Volleyball Media streaming courts, Jason from New York Varsity streaming, and AVP/Bally’s coverage as well. Aaron Wexler is calling Court 3, I believe. AVP and VolleyballLife have the team and event info.
Qualifier this Thursday, main draw Friday/Saturday, championships Sunday. As always, I encourage everyone to come out and watch live, it makes for a more energetic experience for fans and players, and it’s right here in our backyard. 🏐💪
There are a lot of interesting teams, and honestly a bunch of pairings that could make a run.
To all the teams… have a great tournament and the performances of your lives. Have a blast out there.
I sometimes think back to the periods of my own life when I felt like I had athletic superpowers. That ability to make your body do extraordinary things is temporary, and I think there’s something really special about getting to experience it while you have it.
Even a billionaire couldn’t simply buy the ability to move, jump, react and compete the way you all can right now. If someday you could no longer do it, I imagine a lot of you would pay an enormous amount just to experience that feeling again for one afternoon.
So enjoy the hell out of it. Compete, chase the win, make some money, build your careers… but also recognize how incredibly cool it is that right now, you get to play with your superpowers. 💪🏐

Eric Cam captured Hagen Logan v Qatar 🇶🇦 today this might be my favorite Eric Cam match I’ve ever filmed . they killed it and I’m pretty sure I killed it too. cannot wait to see it on the big screen (also recorded Basey Hurst v Evans Bradford - might top my list too. And to top those two off Ally and Sarah’s performance against Brazil 🇧🇷 at AVP hope you guys are as stoked as me to see them Eric Cam style (and I kept my mouth shut for the most part 🏐💪)
