Beach volleyball is an exhilarating team sport played on a sandy court divided by a net, typically featuring two teams of two players each. The objective is to send the ball over the net and ground it on the opponent’s side of the court while preventing the same effort by the opposing team.
Game Overview
- Each team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball over the net. Players may not touch the ball twice consecutively, except after making a block touch, which counts as one touch.
- The game begins with a serve, where the server hits the ball from behind the rear court boundary over the net to the opposing team.
- The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes “out,” or a fault is committed while attempting to return the ball.
