Scoring: Beach volleyball are best played in three sets. The first two sets are played to 21 points. The final tie breaker is played to 15 points. A team must win a set by two points. There is no ceiling, so a set continues until the two point advantage is made. Right Side or Left Side: Two players evenly split the court. Left-handers usually perfer the right side, and right-handers vice versa. Play Front Court or Back Court: The better defender keeps to the back of the court to make digs, while the player in the front of the court spikes the ball and defends the front court. Playing the Game- Most players have what they call a "bag of tricks". They know if they go out there and wear themselves out in the beginning they have no chance in winning. That's why their are a variety of shots and defense moves, so that they can maintain their energy the whole time.

How does volleyball scoring go?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two different ways to score volleyball. The first way is called rally scoring. Rally scoring is where a point is given to the team that doesn't make the mistake, no matter if they didn't even touch the ball. For example: If a team serves it in the net, the other team gets the point. The other type of scoring, I don't know the technical term for it, it is where you don't get the point unless you make the other team make a mistake. For example: When a serve is served over the net, the other team shanks the ball off to the side, the serving team would get the point. But, if the serving team had served it into the net, there would be no point given.

Typically, most volleyball associations use rally scoring, the first type of scoring I described. I have personally never heard of any volleyball association us the other type of scoring. Also ,in club volleyball, some games may start at four points.

The difference between beach volleyball and sitting volleyball is that on the beach you do not sit to play volleyball where as obviously in sitting volleyball you would. Also I believe that usually disabled people play sitting volleyball. But I am quite sure that sitting volleyball could be played at the beach.
