What it is?

But today, I’d take this opportunity to talk about my recent favourite – the Beach Volleyball, which I definitely want to try in the days ahead. It is a game that gives nail-biting excitement to the viewers.

What you need to prepare?

People often love to play this game on the beach and the game in itself is so mind-blowing that it is popular all over the world. All that you need to do is learn a few rules and you are ready to play this fun game with your friends. Apart from basic knowledge some tricks are quite helpful to play the game well.

How easy or difficult it is?

Honestly speaking! The Beach Volleyball, like every other team sport, demands team effort to maximize the fun. Besides, Beach volleyball is played on sand where movements will become slower and vertical jump height will become shorter.

Sand can be difficult to move on, which can cause you to become tired more easily. So, it’s not as easy as it looks.

Moreover, I am an ardent spectator of the game and spend hours watching game plays on Television.
