Bella Ferary

Coach Bella has been a year-round coach at S3 since she graduated high school back in 2020, and continues to teach the next generation of athletes everything there is to know about beach volleyball. She even loves to help these athletes learn about working up to the collegiate level of beach, since she has been through that journey herself. She has also been learning from collegiate coaches about what it takes to run a beach volleyball program.

Bella started her beach volleyball journey at S3 in the summer of 2015, and has been in love with the game ever since. She spent 5 years being a part of the S3 Volleyball year-round program, trainging and developing into one of the more successful players at the junior level. A couple of notable accomplishments for Bella during her junior career with S3 were: 1st place at the AAU Junior Olympics Games, 3rd place at the USAV National Championships, and being named to the AVCA High School All-American 1st Team, which she and her sister, Angel Ferary, were the first two players to ever earn this honor from the state of Georgia.

After her years with S3, Bella joined the Georgia State University Beach Volleyball team (2020-2024), where she and her twin, Angel, were recognized for many accomplishments during their 4-year careers. The twins, who played together most of their collegiate careers, helped GSU see three NCAA National Championship appearances. They also played together in the AVCA Collegiate Pairs Championship, where one year they placed 5th out of the top 64 pairs in the country. They both hold the record for the winningest pair in Georgia State program history by accumulating 100 wins together, with two of their four years being at the top flight of the team’s lineup. They were also recognized as All-Americans their junior year. Bella ended her career after the 2024 season with 105 career wins, the most in GSU history.

Bella is a graduate from Georgia State University with a bachelor’s in Criminal Justice, and is currently pursuing her masters degree in the same field. Along with graduate school, she is working as a Graduate Assistant for the Georgia State Beach Volleyball team, where she is learning the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to be a coach at the collegiate level.
