WHY BEACH?

Beach volleyball is an all inclusive game. With only 2 players per team, each player is required to perform ALL volleyball skills at a proficient level. Opponents regularly expose and accentuate flaws in certain aspects of an individuals game, thus requiring constant work on an athletes weakest assets. All of this leads to the overall improvement of the individual skills rapidly.
