Zoran Forgiarini and Suzy Mathieson held first serve, with hopes that others would follow.

The two coaches teamed to create the club sport of girls' sand volleyball at Edison, forming it with a roster of 15 players. The Chargers, many of whom played indoor girls' volleyball during the fall 2012 CIF Southern Section season, then went to work on fundamentals and figuring out their two-player teams format during workouts at Newland Street at Huntington State Beach.
