Beach Volleyball Lines
Get beach volleyball apparel online at OrvinApparel.com. They have volleyball shirts, hoodies, tank tops, stretch boardshorts, sunglasses and more.
Are you looking to buy some new beach volleyball lines? I would recommend that you get the wide 2 inch lines because they are the best and that is what they use in the AVP. You will notice that they will give you something to see out of your peripheral vision when hitting or defending the ball. A brighter color is always better than any color that might blend in with the sand. So remember to keep those 2 factors in mind.
I often get people asking me if there are a different set of beach volleyball rules than the indoor ones. The answer is YES and you need to learn all the rule differences before you ever step foot in the sand. The best thing to do for an indoor player that is playing sand volleyball for the first time is to never set the ball with your hands because your setting will not fly. It will take months to be able to set legally so don't even try if you haven't been practicing the proper techniques.
The rule is that you can never set the serve and the same strict requirements are in place for setting any ball that is "free balled" over the net, just don't do it because they have to come out super clean and yours will not if you are new to the sand game.
A hard driven ball on the other hand is free game to do whatever you want with. You can grab it and throw it up practically because a double contact is allowed on hard driven balls. This is so that there can be longer rallys and the sport will be more entertaining to the crowds.
Another big rule that you need to know is that you can't open hand tip in beach volleyball. You can roll shot or shoot off the palm of your hand. You can camel toe (hit it with your 2 knuckles) but you can't do any open hand tipping. In my opinion this should never be allowed in indoor either, but I digress.
Vertical Training for Sand Volleyball
Sand volleyball is a sport that requires more jumping ability than other sport. When there are only 2 people, you have to be able to jump high or you will never win a game.
Find the right vertical training for volleyball is difficult but there are many jump programs to choose from.
In a jump program you need to look for a few key factors to know if it is going to be worth your time.
One like the Jump Mentor is a great example of how they should be. You should see a guarantee of some sort so that you know it is a legit program. You should also be able to trust the creator of the program and know that they are honest and believe in the product that they have created.

NCAA Sand Volleyball Passes Override
Thanks to all of the support from avid beach volleyball players and intelligent coaches, sand volleyball passed the override vote on Jan. 15th 2010 to become a collegiate sport.
Many schools tried to override the decision for greedy reasons of having more money to spread around the indoor program. Indoor coaches fear that the indoor sport will suffer because of how popular sand volleyball will become in a college setting. What sport would people want to watch more than sand volleyball? None! So knowing that sand volleyball will bring in more money for the school in it's first year than indoor volleyball could ever produce makes the indoor coaches nervous.
The fact is that indoor will continue to have it's fans because indoor volleyball for women is in the fall and sand volleyball will be in the spring. This means that fans of volleyball will be able to attend both. Although there are many more people each year that only play sand and never touch an indoor volleyball the fan base for sand volleyball will be greater than that of indoor.
There aren't many sports that are played in college that are not played in high school, so the next question is when will high school sand volleyball start? How are you supposed to train to play collegiate sand volleyball when you don't have anywhere to formally practice?
What is very surprising is the name of the schools that were on the list to override sand volleyball from being a collegiate sport. Most surprising was BYU, who has produced many professional beach volleyball players on the AVP. The fact that they tried to deny this opportunity to future female athletes is very selfish on their part. But now that it passed I wonder if they will adopt the sport where they would have plenty of great players. Most students at BYU come from California and many of them play beach volleyball already. They would not have a difficult time recruiting great beach volleyball players but will they swallow their pride and allow girls to play this great sport at their school?
