What Beach Volleyball Should You Buy?
There are thousands of volleyballs available to buy but only one is approved by the AVP (association of volleyball professionals) and that is the official wilson beach volleyball.
There are some things in life where you get what you pay for. This is exactly the case when it comes to buying the right beach volleyball. Many beginner volleyball players don't like the game because it hurts their arms when the pass "bump" the ball. The truth is that they are using a ball that is made of cheap plastic and is very hard. Any advanced player would pass that ball one time, notice that it hurt and they would get a different ball. It's like playing basketball with a ball that is half inflated, you may be able to still dribble but it will take all your force just to bounce it. Nobody would like basketball if that were the case. So, when picking a beach volleyball you might have to spend a little more money so that you get a ball that is made of real leather and is soft. The best ball that I have ever seen and the only one that I will play with is the Wilson Official Beach Volleyball. This ball is the softest ball and the one that is used in all of the AVP (Association of Beach Volleyball Professionals). So instead of buying multiple balls that hurt your arms, just buy one that is good. You can always find better deals online than in any store when it comes to this ball, so shop around and compare prices.

Ten Things To Avoid When Playing Sand Volleyball
1. Never ask if the scoring is rally or the old style where you have to serve to get a point. Nobody plays the old way anymore. It is always rally!
2. Never touch the net. It doesn't matter if you are blocking or hitting, you can not touch the net. The second people see someone hitting the net with no regards to the rule, they will not want to play with you. This rule keeps people safe. If you jump into the net chances are you will injure someone on the opposing team and/or yourself. Allowing people to touch the net is like allowing everyone to double dribble in basketball. It's a rule and needs to be followed both in indoor and sand volleyball.
3. Never bring your red, white and blue expensive indoor volleyball to play with in the sand. This automatically says you have no idea how to play beach volleyball. Also avoid buying the cheap volleyballs that feel like rocks. The only volleyball you should be using should be the wilson avp OFFICIAL game ball. Not the one that says replica on it. The ball is yellow and white and can be found online. Expect to pay anywhere from $35 to $50 bucks on it.
4. Never expect to play 3's or 4's or any other number when a sand court is being played on by people that are already there and playing 2 on 2. The unspoken rule is that whomever has sat the longest plays the next game. This is an important thing to follow when playing on public sand courts. Everyone should be allowed to play and everyone should wait until it's their turn. Always make sure you know the rules of beach volleyball
