Sand volleyball, or outdoor volleyball
Beach Volleyball is sometimes referred to as the Sand game. This is now an Olympic sport played by two teams of two players on sand court divided by a net. The basic rules are the same as in indoor volleyball.
There is hard court volleyball, which is played on a wooden floor and there is beach volleyball, which is played in the sand (There is also indoor beach volleyball, but it is much smaller than beach and hard court)
Mission Beach the south end of the beach contains a lot of well taken care of volleyball nets to play beach volleyball :) good luck! :)
Beach volleyball made its debut at the 1996 Games in Atlanta.
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.
Swimming, surfing, sand castles, volleyball, sun bathing
Yes, you can set the ball in beach volleyball. In beach volleyball, the set is typically softer and higher than in indoor volleyball due to the sand surface and the smaller court size. Additionally, players in beach volleyball have to account for factors like wind and sun, which can affect the trajectory of the ball.
Its not. It depends where you live, I live where there is no beach, in a city and court volleyball is very popular in some high schools. There is a social beach tournament played indoors on sand, but its not popular at all. But somewhere on along beach, beach volleyball is very popular. It takes alot more skill to play proper court volleyball, beach volleyball is more fun and social.
Yes, Beach Volleyball is always played on a beach or a sand court, whereas Indoor Volleyball must always be played inside on a floor. But they both have the same rules in Volleyball it's just the court that is different. In terms of difficulty, a Beach court is much more harder than a indoor court. It is harder on a Beach court because the sand weighs you down when you are running and jumping, and the wind plays a very big role when it comes to playing Beach Volleyball. Whereas Indoor Volleyball is safe from the elements and the floor is solid so you can run easily and jump higher than on a Beach court.
