Mango's Beach Volleyball Club is a beach volleyball facility located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[1] The facility, built in 1995, hosts local leagues and volleyball tournaments.

The facility has 13 sand courts where league play occurs every weekday and tournaments are held many weekends. Mango's operates in three seasons during spring, summer and fall.[2]

History

It opened with three sand and three grass courts and has since expanded four-times to 13 sand courts.[2][3]

It served as the home of the LSU Tigers women's beach volleyball team from 2014–2018 prior to their move to the on-campus LSU Beach Volleyball Stadium in 2019.[4][5][6]

Notably, Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss have trained consistently at Mango's, including during their training leading up to the 2024 Summer Olympics.[7] They are also known to attend multiple events held at Mango's each year.
