Beach Volleyball

(Volleyball)

Beach volleyball has evolved from the popular social games of volleyball played on many beaches around the world. This version, rather than played on indoor hard courts, is played on sand courts which may either be formed naturally or built specifically for the purpose. Instead of a team of six, each team consists of only two players, but otherwise the rules are identical.


In 1996, beach volleyball became a separate Olympic sport.
