What Is Beach Volleyball?
Beach volleyball is played on the sand by two-member teams. Although there is a net between them, player positions are not set as in indoor volleyball. While dealing with the unstable footing sand creates, the teams do their best to protect their spacious court and attack in the changing natural environment of sunshine and wind. The teamwork of the players is worth watching! |
