I am a Division I women`s vollegball coach. I have been coaching at the college level for the past eleven years. I am also teaching and coaching at the high school level and I have been doing so for the past sixteen years. In my spare time I;ve coach 11-12 year old girls in the CYO. I am also a certified high school referee for both varsity boys and girls. I have over 250 drills in my drill book and I believe I can be most helpful answering questions about running certain offenses and defenses.

Question
hello..
can u please tell me about the differences between volleyball and beach volley?
thank you so much!

Answer
Rayz,

I am not a beach person but I will try to give you a few examples.

Beach is usually played with 2 players indoor is usually played with 6.  The beach court is narrower than the indoor court which is
60'X 30'.  The ball is the same size but the leather is a little different to protect the ball from the sand.  The net height and scoring system is the same but the players switch sides after every 5 points so that one team does not have an advantage over the other due to the wind or sun.  

The best  way to get a better idea of the differences is to Google both indoor rules and beach rules and make a comparison.

Enjoy,
Steve
