Improve your overall game by playing 2
x 2 beach volleyball
"A
lot of indoor players are specialists, but on the beach you need to play all
phases well, and you need a lot of ball control."
Karch Kiraly
I. Why Play Beach Volleyball?
a) Doubles Beach Volleyball provides the best environment for
learning the game and refining
every skill in the game. Two-on-two results in random,
game-like volleyball experiences coupled
with an outstanding number of contacts per person. The more
your players touch the volleyball, the
better they will become. As we like to say, "The game teaches
the game."
b) In Beach Doubles, if I cannot set very well, I am going to become a better
setter because the
other team will serve my partner forcing me to set every
time. This is true for all other volleyball
skills as well (hitting, passing, etc.).
c) Each player must improve and master every skill of the game, as opposed to
mastering one
skill. Both players on a team must pass, set, attack, serve,
block, and dig. This makes us better all
around volleyball players.
d) For example, Karch Kiraly, Kerri Walsh, Chrissie Zartman, and Misty May were
all incredible
indoor players because they played doubles beach volleyball
early in their volleyball careers.
