Mango's Beach Volleyball Club, Beach volleyball venue in Baton Rouge, United States.
Mango's Beach Volleyball Club is an outdoor sports facility in Baton Rouge with 13 sand courts for tournaments and recreational play throughout the year. The infrastructure has been expanded several times to accommodate increasing participation.
The facility was founded in 1995 and started small before developing into one of the region's larger venues. Over time it became a major location for university and club competitions.
Mango's was the home of the LSU Tigers women's beach volleyball team from 2014 to 2018, before the team moved to the on-campus LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium in 2019. Olympians Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss have trained consistently at the club, including ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, and attend several events there each year.
The 13 sand courts sit in Baton Rouge, with league matches on weekdays and tournaments usually on weekends. Play runs in three seasons: spring, summer and fall. The site opened with three sand and three grass courts and has been expanded four times.
Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss trained at Mango's while preparing for the 2024 Summer Olympics, and they return for several events each year. The pair's regular practice on these courts is easy to miss among the league nights.
