In a Volleyball team, there is 12 players. Six players go in the court, while the other six sit at the bench ready to be a substitute for the six players in the court. You can have at least 15 players but have at least 6 players on the court at all times. You need more than six to have subs or if a player gets injured.

HistoryThough popularized in Southern California, the first recorded beach volleyball games took place on the beaches of Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawai'i at the Outrigger Canoe Club.[1] Originally designed to give bored surfers something to do when the surf was down, the game quickly developed into more organized six-man matches. The most famous early player was legendary waterman, Duke Kahanamoku.In 1920, construction of new jetties in Santa Monica, California created a large sandy area for public enjoyment, planting the seed for beach volleyball development in that region. The first permanent nets began to appear, and recreational games were soon being played on public parts of the beach, as well as in private beach clubs. 11 such beach clubs appeared in the Santa Monica area, beginning in late 1922. The first inter-club competitions were staged in 1924, marking the first beach volleyball tournaments to be played in California.Most of these early beach volleyball matches were played with teams of at least six players per side, much like indoor volleyball. The concept of the modern two-man beach volleyball game, however, is credited to Paul "Pablo" Johnson, an indoor player.[2] In the summer of 1930, while waiting for players to show up for a six-man game, Johnson decided to try playing with only the four people present. The game was forever changed.Beach volleyball began to appear in Europe in the 1930s. By the 1940s, doubles tournaments were being played on the beaches of Santa Monica for trophies. In the 1960s, an attempt to start a professional volleyball league was made in Santa Monica. It failed, but a professional tournament was held in France for 30,000 French francs.[citation needed] The first Manhattan Beach Open was held in 1960. The tournament is now considered the "Wimbledon of Beach Volleyball".[citation needed]In the 1970s, a few professional tournaments in Santa Monica were sponsored by beer and cigarette companies.[citation needed]At the professional level, the sport remained fairly obscure until the 1980s when beach volleyball experienced a surge in popularity. Players like Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith became household names.[citation needed] In 1987, the FIVB created the first World Beach Volleyball Championships, played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The FIVB began organizing worldwide professional tournaments, and laid the groundwork for the sport's Olympic debut in 1996.[3]Despite its increased popularity in the 80's and 90's, American beach volleyball suffered setbacks. In early 1998, the American women's professional tour - the WPVA - closed its doors and filed for bankruptcy. Later that same year, the American professional men's tour - the AVP - also filed for bankruptcy, plagued by problems as a player-run organization.[3]In 2001, the AVP reemerged as a for-profit, publicly-traded company that combined the men's and women's professional tours, with equal prize money for both sexes.Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor, who won two consecutive gold medals in 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics, were named "the greatest beach volleyball team of all time".[4] Among female beach volleyball players, May-Treanor has the record of most tournaments won with 103 career wins.[5]See also: Volleyball: Origin of the gamecopied from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_volleyball#Governing_bodies

One of the most popular sports to play at the beach is volleyball. Some beaches already have nets set up just for that purpose. Beach volleyball can be extremely fun to play, and it isn't as competitive as a professional game or some of the games played on a volleyball court. The most important and well-known piece of volleyball equipment is the ball. Volleyballs comes in both the indoor ball and the outdoor ball. The balls all come in different sizes and are are made to be played on a short court or a large court. There are even volleyballs made especially for the beach. The outdoor volleyballs are waterproof. Poles and fences are also needed for volleyball. The beach games will especially need the fences. Indoor games are usually played on a hard gym surface which is already in place. Outdoor volleyball courts may have to be constructed with the surface laid out and the poles and nets put into the ground appropriately. The poles are made of plastic to keep injuries to a minimum. Volleyball padding is also used to wrap around the poles and this padding is available in a variety of bright colors. Boundary lines are needed to set the official boundaries of play. These also comes in a variety of colors and should be made of zinc plated steel corner rings, heavy weight webbing and center court markings. For indoor volleyball, sleeves and sockets are also necessary. This is true of floating wooden floors which need to expand and contract with any changes in the humidity. A volleyball antenna set also comes with velcro and in different sizes and colors depending on the size of the court. Some smaller pieces of volleyball equipment include a very important ball pump to keep that volleyball in shape for the entire game. Volleyball bags are perfect for those who take the game very seriously and need to have a special bag to carry their shoes, ball, and any other equipment.
