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.

Most of the volleyball equipment used outdoors is coated with a strong UV protection to keep the colors looking brand new over the years.
