Why Play Beach Volleyball?

Article 1: The Benefits of Playing Beach Volleyball
Article 2: Nebraska Volleyball uses Beach as Training Tool

    * The beach game is GREAT for improving your indoor skills/game. Whatever your weaknesses are, you get to work on them a ton. Unlike the 6 person game, you touch the ball in every rally, and with just two of you covering the court, you learn to read and anticipate much better.
    * Dealing with the sun and wind helps you be more adaptable. Player height is less important outdoors-ball control and skill is most important. You get to be outside in the sun, often in beautiful settings.
    * It is a great way to improve your jump, as there are just two of you to block and hit every rally. Communicating effectively is essential in the sport, and the game helps you and your teammate to grow stronger together.
