BEACH/GRASS
The Doubles Game
Beach & Grass Volleyball
Beach Volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of two players on either a sand or grass court divided by a net. In order to keep the ball in play, a team can only hit the ball up to three times before returning it over the net. As in indoor volleyball, the object of the game is to send the ball over the net in order to ground it on the opponent's court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. A team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball. The ball is put in play with a service-a hit by the server from behind the rear court boundary over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes "out", or is not returned properly.
