Beach Volley Ball

[Mayfriday0529]

I just signed up for a Beach Volley Ball League.

Sound like lots of fun, anyone else try something similar?

 

[Doggiedog]

I play regular volleyball.

I can't jump in sand.

 

[Deeko]

I play indoor for my college, I also play in the sand intramurel leagues.

 

[Stark]

is it a class, or a league?

i took a beach volleyball class at Santa Monica College for the two years I went there. Best college class I ever had. The coach was Holly McPeak's trainer (at the time).

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I never played in sand but i just wanted to do something in the summer.

Starts in May 19 and runs to july for first session.

Beach volleyball is great! I have a great time getting friend's together for some friendly competitions. I've never joined a league since they don't have one in the area...but we do have several courts.

 

[desk]

i'll be playing some beach volleyball this summer.

haven't played in a couple years, but we won our league last time around.

yeah, it's a lot tougher than it looks, I thought it would fairly easily since I have hoops with bball ... but man the timing is totally different. Loads of fun if you can get a decent set of people playing.

Yeah well I signed up for a 6 person team.

Games are played at Jones Beach State park, NY and they are at night time from 6-9pm

The only thing is I want the 8:35pm game so I can get there on time after work and they told me that I would be put in an intermediate team.

I have only played indoor volley ball and it?s been a while, so they asked me if I was athletic and I said yes, so they told me I should be fine.

how about bottomless?

 

[poopaskoopa]

I have to take a different approach to spike the ball. Gotta tread lightly on sand and stuff.

 

[Baked]

You gonna get sand in your vagina.

are you playing in a recreational league or competitive league??

rec players in a competitive league/competitive players in a rec league = no fun

also rec league=:beer::beer::beer:

playing drunk in a competive league and you will end up with a Wilson or Spalding tattoo on your forehead...

Bleh. Sand was made for doubles, not sixes.

they had teams of 4 also but more expensive. There are some 2 team leagues around but thats more expensive and more competative and time consuming.
I just want to have some fun and maybe meet some new people you know.

I was just kidding. For recreational play, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. But if you move up to more competitive play eventually and start playing doubles, you'll see what I mean.

oh don't worry about it.
yeah i'm sure two team play is probably fun and harder, i see games happening all the time at long beach, ny. I looked into it but it requires lots of extra time to do it unless its just playing with your friends.

It's definitely a different game, but also a lot of fun. The bad part is that you can't jump as high, but the good part is that you can dive for the ball without hurting yourself. I actually started playing in the sand about about 15 years ago and I've been playing open gyms and city leagues indoors ever since. The nice thing about playing sand over the summer is when you come back and play indoor in the fall, you'll be amazed at how high you can jump and how well you can hit.

are beach regulation nets at the same height as indoor nets?

I would if I could find a team here in WI. Played for a few years in a row, then we took a break and the team never got back together. Sucks trying to find a team since most people alreayd have oens put together and don't need extra people.
