Is beach volleyball hard?

The sand volleyball game is tough enough for new beginner players first learning how to play beach volleyball.

What're The Three Beach Volleyball Tips Beginners Learn When First Learning How To Play Beach Volleyball?

Three things are obstacles to overcome

First, not only do you have to adjust to playing volleyball on an uneven playing surface

but

players have to learn who takes what responsibilities on a volleyball court that now has to be evenly shared between two players, not six

and

during their indoor career many volleyball players become specialized in playing one position on the court, like playing middle blocker.

How Does Specialization in Indoor Volleyball Affect The Beach Volleyball Player?

Let's look at the middle blocker position on the court.

Unfortunately many volleyball coaches only allow their middle blockers to specialize in playing the front row.

So these players learn

how to block a volleyball well, and
how to hit a ball in the middle of the net well.

Some will

have a tough serve and
many will be very good at moving laterally along the volleyball net.

But, this front row specialization doesn't help them

become proficient in having an all-around game or
allow them to be able to learn how to pass the volleyball or
play defense in the back row.

I was fortunate enough to have had a pretty dominating career playing indoor volleyball at the highest levels but when I decided to transition to the beach volleyball game I really had to learn to develop all of my volleyball skills especially the passing and defensive part of my game.

Even though I was a good indoor passer, I never fully appreciated the importance of learning how to pass the volleyball accurately until I went on to play on the sand.

Is Beach Volleyball Hard? In doubles, with so much area to cover on the court, it's crucial to establish which partner is going to pass the ball when its served to specific areas of the court.

Luckily, I started playing beach volleyball pretty early in my career.

In sand volleyball, with so much area to cover on the volleyball court, it's crucial to establish which partner will use the beach volleyball forearm pass when its served to specific areas of the court.

And this is especially important when the players of the opposing team serve the volleyball to the middle of your court.

Serving slang is not just about individual techniques; it also relates to overall game strategy. A coach might instruct a player to serve a "short serve" or a "deep serve" to target specific areas of the opponent's court or exploit weaknesses in their serve receive formation.

Ari, my private training client and I are working specifically on serving on jump float cross court serves ...short to Zone 2

There's so much we work on to get to this point where she can contact the ball with

the same toss height and same toss location
the same armswing speed
the same timing for when her serving hand contacts the ball
the middle of the hand contacting the middle of the ball every single time
getting use to watching her serving hand contact the ball at the highest point of her jump ...before she starts to land
and finally contacting the ball in the precise spot on the ball so it goes where the coach wants the player to put it so in this case ..a short serve in the farthest short right corner on the court also called Zone 2.
