LONG BEACH, Calif. – Head Coach Amy Wright and the Long Beach State Women’s Basketball team announced the addition of senior transfer Khylee Pepe to the team for the 2025-26 season.

“We are excited to welcome Khylee back home to the Beach,” said Long Beach State Head Coach Amy Wright. “Khylee will add a toughness and maturity to our talented team along with the skill and knowledge of being a unit on the offensive and defensive end. She will bring passion every day in practice and game. We can’t wait for the Long Beach community to embrace her and the Pepe family.”

Pepe, a 5-foot-11 guard comes to the Beach from San Diego State where she played for the first three seasons of her collegiate career. During her time with the Aztecs, Pepe was an integral part of the team, coming off the bench in 92 games over three seasons with five starts. She owns career-highs of 15 points, 13 rebounds, and five steals, while collecting multiple steals in 12 games in her junior campaign.

Prior to her time at SDSU, Pepe was a consensus four-star recruit, ranked No. 83 in the country by ESPNW. She was a four-time all-state selection in California and two-time league MVP. In her senior year at Bishop Montgomery High School, Pepe earned her third First-Team All-Del Rey League selection on her way to helping her team win a league championship and an appearance in the CIF-SS quarterfinals. She concluded her prep career as one of two school record holders with 41 points in a single game.

She attended Mater Dei as a freshman where she was a Second Team All-County selection as she helped the Monarchs capture the Trinity League Title and finish fourth in the CIF-SS Open Division.

Coming to the Beach allows the Long Beach, Calif., native to conclude her collegiate career at home.

Pepe comes from a long line of athletes as her brother Kobe played football at USC, her father Paapaa played football at Humboldt State, and her uncles Jesse and Roman played football for the San Francisco 49ers and Oregon State, respectively.

Pepe will be pursuing a master’s degree in the sports management graduate program while at Long Beach State University.

 

RENO, Nev. – Nevada volleyball is set to host two summer camps in July for athletes ranging from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade.

The first of the two will take place from the 7th until the 12th. Days one and two are the “All Skills” and “Youth and Little Spikers” camps.

The All Skills portion is for grades 6th-9th and is an immersive experience that extends beyond skill development, allowing players to explore various positions and engage in competitive match play. This camp is geared toward teaching each athlete the basic movements and fundamentals of volleyball, and will not be position specific; however, they will be placed in a position for different drills. They will be given opportunities to change positions if so desired. 

The Youth and Little Spikers camp is for boys and girls entering kindergarten through fifth graders. This camp provides a fun opportunity for young volleyball players to learn the fundamentals of the game. Each camper will develop their skills in passing, setting, hitting and serving. 

The remainder of the first camp is for grades 9th-12th. There will be multiple sessions where players can learn passing, setting, attacking, serving and defense. 

The second camp will be from July 14th to the 16th and is for grades 9th-12th who aspire to play at the college level. It provides a valuable chance for athletes to enhance their skills in a competitive environment, giving them the opportunity to play alongside the University of Nevada’s team players. The training primarily focuses on skill development tailored to each participants position, fostering teamwork and preparing them for collegiate-level play.

There are options to stay overnight and truly get the full college experience, or commute.

Jackson, a native of Lexington, Kentucky, joins the Owls for her final collegiate season after three seasons at Memphis.
 
“Destyne is a dynamic point guard who will set the tone on both ends of the floor,” Coach Freeland said. “Because of her speed and lateral quickness, she was a defensive stopper at Memphis and Wright State. In our offensive system, we expect her to lead our transition and put up big numbers in the half-court. Destyne has tremendous confidence and experience in the American Athletic Conference, which will enable her to make a big impact this season. Our staff is excited to announce Destyne is an Owl!”

Prior to joining the Tigers, Jackson played her freshman and sophomore seasons at Wright State.
 
As a sophomore, Jackson averaged 13.4 points per game, good for second on the team, while shooting a team-best 32 percent from 3-point range for the Raiders. Jackson scored a career-best 22 points, shooting 60 percent (9-of-15) from the field and 33 percent (1-of-3) from beyond the arc against Northern Kentucky.

Beach volleyball is an immensely popular sport in warm weather cities such as Los Angeles and Miami. But in the New York City area, while participation in organized competitive and social volleyball among youth and adults has rapidly risen, engagement in beach volleyball is still relatively limited to small circles. One woman aims to change that at the First Annual Spring Skyline Beach Slam, taking place this Saturday and Sunday, on 66th Street at Riverside Park on Manhattan’s Westside, featuring boys and girls ages 12 to 17.

“We partnered with NYC Parks, and from the kids that we had last year when we founded the company, they wanted to compete and learn,” NYC Beach Volley Ventures (NYCBVV) founder Barbara Miranda Winkler expressed to the AmNews.

“It is just like a full experience of how tournaments (are structured), kind of like a sneak peek of the Olympics,” said Winkler. “The name reflects New York. Our logo, you can see it’s like the sunrise or sunset with the skyline, and the bridge and the water, and they are all happy colors.” The visual is intentional as NYCBVV strives to provide physical as well as social-emotional development to its participants.

“Our holistic approach blends drills, fundamentals, and gameplay to build confidence, mental readiness, and sportsmanship,” Winkler, a Harlem-based mother of a 12-year-old, explained.

“At NYCBVV, I had an amazing experience, met great people, and I am incredibly inspired by both of my coaches,” 14-year-old Jovana said of her experience last year. “My coaches not only taught me the game, but also taught me resilience and self-confidence.”

“At NYCBVV, playing and learning with friends feels like it’s family, and the coaches are open-minded and kind,” said 12-year-old Ayla.

The tournament has eight divisions with a maximum of 10 teams in each. Registration begins at 7 a.m. and play starts at 8 a.m..
