Beach volleyball is a variation of volleyball and it is a team sport played by 2 teams usually of 2 players on a sand court divided by a net. In terms of objective, it is very similar to indoor volleyball: teams send the ball over the net and strive to ground it on the opponent's side of the court. Teammates work and combine moves to prevent the opposing team from grounding the ball on their side of the court.
Beach volleyball is thought to have come from Hawaii in 1915, while the modern 2-player format originated in Santa Monica, California. Due to the skill and quick-thinking involved, the sport is hugely popular around the world and established itself as an Olympic sport since the 1996 Summer Olympics. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) - sometimes working as Volleyball World - is the global governing body for the sport and organises the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships and the Beach Pro Tour.
Beach Pro Tour Elite16: Ostrava, Czech Republic, Lower Vitkovice Industrial Park
As every year we've spent a great time at the Elite tournament in Ostrava! A big plus was the more drink stands next to the tribune so less walking and faster again at the games!

Beach Pro Tour Elite16: Hamburg, Germany, Am Rothenbaum
Fantastic event, with the best beachvolleyball players in the world.
But two things could be better:
- an MC at court 2 to introduce the players (at a minimum)
- remember that it is a international event, and not everybody speaks german. Use english for the speaker!

Beach Pro Tour Elite16: Montreal, Canada, Plage Jean-Doré
J’étais dans la section VIP mercredi, samedi et dimanche. Beaucoup trop de monde pour l’espace, très difficile d’avoir une belle vue sur le court central (plus facile pour le court no 2). Nourriture moyenne et seulement 2 coupons de consommation… pas certain au final que ça vaut le prix.
