MAVS Beach

Why Beach Volleyball?

Beach volleyball is a fast paced, exciting sport that is played with two people per team. Unlike indoors
where players specialize in specific positions and skill sets, the athlete must be proficient in passing,
setting, hitting, and blocking. Court coverage is also larger, meaning the player is always in some state
of movement when the ball is in play. Sand also provided a constant form of conditioning and resistance
in turn allowing for an improvement in speed, agility, and quickness. Beach volleyball also provides less
impact in regards to jumping, lessoning the chance for injury.
Beach volleyball as a whole is becoming more popular with junior players because of the lifestyle and
additional opportunities for scholarships as well as a way to improve their indoor skill set. There are several indoor programs that now are adding beach volleyball to their programs as a way to improve the skill set of their indoor teams.
