In 2017, Klineman left indoor volleyball to focus on beach volleyball full-time, and was named the Association of Volleyball Professionals Rookie of the Year. At the end of 2017, Klineman and April Ross became beach volleyball partners. Klineman and Ross won the FIVB Dela Beach Open in January 2018, which was also the first tournament they played together.
