Atkins Family Beach Volleyball Facility

The Atkins Family Beach Volleyball Facility was completed in October 2017 as a joint endeavor made possible through the cooperation of Austin Peay's Intercollegiate Athletics Department and University Recreation Office.

The facility, located in front of the Winfield Dunn Center on the corner of Marion and Drane Streets, is used by both the Governors’ beach volleyball team and University Recreation. Prior to the 2023 season, Austin Peay added bleacher seating to bring the total seating capacity for the facility to 500 fans.

In April 2018, the Govs Beach Volleyball Complex hosted its first tournament, and as part of that event, former Governors’ quarterback Trent Caffee and his family were recognized for their support of Austin Peay athletics with the center court emblazoned The Caffee Family Court.

In June 2023, the APSU Board of Trustees voted to have the beach volleyball facility in the Joe and Cathi Maynard Family Athletics Complex named after the Atkins Family in honor of their gift to benefit APSU’s women's athletics programs.
