How to Play Beach Volleyball

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name's Addison from Captain Bills and I'm going to teach you how to play beach volleyball. Beach volleyball is a very common sport, especially, in the summertime when it's hot, you're out on the beach, all you really need is your bathing suit, a volleyball and an outdoor volleyball net to play beach volleyball. Typically, beach volleyball is played two on two so you have two people on one side of the court and two people on the other side of the court. This is very difficult but as you only have two people to cover the whole area of the court. Also, it's very difficult to maneuver in the sand because the sand can be very deep on the beach. It's hard to run, it's hard to dive, and it's hard to sprint for a ball. Typically, games are played in rally scoring, where every score is a point, games are usually played to twenty-one. Also, beach volleyball is a lot like tennis, except for instead of one hit to get it over the net, you get three hits. So, typically, it's a bump, a set and a spike and you have to get it over the net so it's just like tennis but with beach volleyball, you have to have three hits and the same person cannot touch the ball twice in a row. Three hits and that's how you play beach volleyball."
