The beach volleyball game
basics
Have
fun in Punta Cana while playing beach volleyball
Beach volleyball is
almost the same as common volleyball with some exceptions. The way that
is played is almost exactly as regular volleyball meaning there are 2
teams.
A high net is in
the middle of them and to get points you must
throw the ball into the ground of the opposing team basically or when
the opposing team make errors. Normally the sport
is played in teams of 2 people but you can actually play it in teams of
6.
Even when most people say
the game was created in California it is said that was first played in
Hawaii. Initially the game was developed as a way to entertain surfers
when the waves were down but surely after some time it transformed into
a 6 man game. The part where the game evolved into a 4 player game was
due to a player waiting for the rest of the team to show up decided to
play with the 4 people present and that forever changed that sport.
 Beach
volleyball is a fantastic sport to play in Punta Cana. Even
when the scoring method is basically the same and the general rules are
very similar to the standard volleyball, there are certain differences
that are quite important. The most notable difference is the fact that
is played on a sand surface and not in a wood or concrete floor.
Also the number of
players is quite different, 6 per team for the normal volleyball while
for in the beach is 2 per team. The ball for the beach
is softer and is a little bigger than the one used for indoor
volleyball. Unlike the normal version there are no substitutions for
the players. The game is also played barefoot unlike the normal one
where people use sneakers.
The game consist
of 3 sets, and the first team to get  21 points
win the set. The normal volleyball is played for 5 sets. To win the set
the team needs to lead by 2 points or more. The
game is won by the first team that wins 2 sets. The net can be crossed
from underneath as long as it doesn’t interfere with the adversary's
attempt to play the ball. The net used is smaller one 8m x 16m instead
the 9m x 18m which is the normal used. The players don’t rotate
positions like in the normal volleyball.
This are the elements of
the beach volleyball basics; when being on a vacation
don’t let the chance of playing this fun game slip by, put a couple
friends or the family together and let the fun
begin.
