Are you someone who is enthusiastic about volleyball? Do you play the sport? If so, are you interested in playing on the beach? This requires a higher level of skill than playing indoors. By reading this article, you will learn how you can make a smooth transition from playing indoors to playing on the beach.

Things that are needed in beach play that may not be apparent in indoor play include physical strength, speed, good reaction time and the ability to jump high. It is especially important to have these qualities to play on the beach because this type of game only has two players on a team as opposed to the regular existence of six people on a team. You have to cover a lot more ground on the beach.

It is vital to have a lot of upper body strength in order to overpower the other team with hard serves and strokes. You must have plenty of lower body strength to jump high to catch the ball over the net and smash it. Because there is so much ground to cover, you have to run fast and react quickly to an incoming shot. You also have to be able to dive for shots that are low and away from you and your partner.

When you only have one teammate instead of five, you have to be very prepared and do a lot of thinking. It is essential for you and your partner to create a good game plan and work out strategies.

It is necessary to have the most talented players for beach volleyball. You can spot great players based on the skills they display and the results they achieve.

Preparation is important for making an adjustment from indoor to beach play. You can practice for beach volleyball by playing on a surface that is made of sand, carpet or grass with three other people while making dives and doing other special drills.

You have learned what it takes to play volleyball on the beach. Use the information you have learned to make a smooth transition from playing indoors!
