Beach volleyball has developed as an independent sport from classic volleyball. There are many similarities between the two sports, but there are significant differences in the rules and techniques of the game. Beach volleyball, besides the traditional volleyball players' jumping ability, good reaction, strength, ball feeling, requires special athleticism (in the game on the sand, athletes have to jump and jerk more often) and endurance (matches that do not include players in teams replacing rules in conditions of high temperature, in bright sunshine or in rain and strong wind, besides, it is common practice to conduct one team several games a day).

Two-handed foot. The main technical actions to attack. The top plan is in front of you. The strike is usually done with the palm. The ball is too high and does not fall into the center of gravity. The ball is hit by a less solid surface and a rotation that prevents it from flying. Replenishment of electricity.

Technical execution: the ball is thrown in front of the attendant, from a height exceeding the level of the head, in force to challenge the opponent. The sequence of execution is slightly changed: the throwing of the ball precedes the impulse of the trunk and the impact arm.

An important quality for players is universalism, because a beach volleyball team consists of only two people. Players are not divided by role and are placed on the court freely. However, now in many teams it is possible to distinguish a high blocking and a less high, but more mobile, defender (pre-player) who has been released from work on the block.
The main governing body in beach volleyball is the International Beach Volleyball Council, which is part of the FIVB - International Volleyball Federation. Since 1996, the beach will is present in the competitive program of the Olympic Games. The largest competitions, in addition to the Olympic tournaments, are world championships held every two years; World Tour - an annual commercial competition consisting of several stages, organized similarly to tennis ATP and WTA tours; tournaments conducted by regional confederations within the FIVB.

The ball is thrown too low and there is no need for the expansion required to print enough force to strike. The ball is too far advanced or too far from the cause, the subsequent trajectory does not contribute to the end of the service. At the moment of the shot, the palm does not sufficiently cover the ball and does not receive the necessary effect in the sense of movement.

The leg corresponding to the kick goes forward, earlier than when the ball is in contact. Climb before rebound. Technical execution: the same name is given, because the ball is directed against the person who performs the climb before he made the two-legged jump, and when the ball hit, he swims. This pretentious execution has a sequence similar to the top one, only that the initial position is obtained after the displacement and the vertical jump. The position of the body is facing the direction of the ball.

Beach volleyball rules and techniques

Beach volleyball is played on a 16 × 8 m playground (the rule was introduced in 2002), which is covered with sand not less than 40 cm deep and is divided into two equal parts by a net (the net height, as in “normal” volleyball, is 2.43 m for men and 2.24 m for women). On both sides of the space above the grid is limited to special antennas.
The beach volleyball ball is a bit more classic (66-68 cm), the pressure in it is less. It should have a colorful bright color.
A team consists of two players; no substitution during the match is provided by the rules (in case of severe injury, disqualification, if a player refuses to continue the match, the team counts as a loss). The coach can only watch the match from the stands. The form of the players consists of shorts or a bathing suit; beach scare are played barefoot, unless otherwise allowed by the judges.
To win a match, you must win two games. The games are played up to 21 points, the third, decisive, the game continues up to 15 points, to win in each of the games a difference in the score of at least two points is necessary. The game is going on the principle of rally-point (“every draw is a point”), if the drawing is won by the receiving team, it, in addition to the point, receives the right to serve. The players of the team are served in turns: first one - until the team loses the right to serve because of a loss of a point or an error; after the team has played the pitch again, the other player serves, etc.). You can beat the ball with any part of the body.
During the game, each team is entitled to two 30-second time-outs. In beach volleyball, more often than in classic, there is a change of sides, so that the teams are equally dependent on external factors (sun and wind). Teams change sides after drawing every seven points in the first two games, and every five points in the third.
Players of one team can touch the ball no more than three times, after which they must return it to the side of the enemy. The block is one of the three touches. The player also cannot hit the ball twice in a row (exception: after the block and at the first touch).
Punishment in the form of a remark, a warning (a yellow card, leading to a loss of points) or a player’s removal (a red card, means defeat in a match) are possible for unsporting behavior.
Beach volleyball rules do not impose strict requirements for handling the ball while simultaneously touching two opponents with the ball over the net (the so-called just, from the English joust - “knightly duel”), where the situation when confrontation over the net leads to “Grabbing” the ball is considered a mutual mistake. After the “just” each team has the right to three more touches; if the ball, after simultaneous contact by rivals over the net, hits the antenna, the rally will be replayed.
A beach volleyball discount can be seen quite rarely - when it is performed, only a short, point touch of the ball is allowed. Special requirements are imposed on the transfer from above - the judges do not allow even the slightest rotation of the ball during such a transfer. Often a pass is made with a slight delay (sticking) of the ball with your fingers, which allows you to level out possible interference from the wind.
High feed in the wind, when the ball goes to the host from the sun, called skyball (from the English sky ball - "heavenly ball"). And if, after putting the ball in the game, it flies between the players of the host team, then a situation arises with the joking name of husband and wife, because the team often inflames about who should have taken the ball.

The action preceding the action is late, the balance of the body in the air is endangered. Hands stretch, working from the fist joint, which limits the distance of the ball. Right direct attack. Technical execution: it is called that because the direction to which the ball goes corresponds to the direction of the elbow, beating, ball and landing. It follows from the above that the main mechanism of this action has the following components: impulse, beating, rebound, hitting the ball, landing and action after landing.

Elbow: This is an action in which a certain horizontal speed accumulates as a result of several steps, the first and the next are lower, and the last is slightly longer and with the knees slightly bent to be able to hold back movement and convert the accumulated speed to - vertical tear.

Beach Volleyball Signals

One of the interesting features of beach volleyball is the use of signals to prompt the partner what tactics of the game will be chosen. The signal is given behind the player who is closer to the grid during the time of submission or just before blocking. The hands correspond to the sides of the attack - the left hand for the attacker on the left, and the right hand for the attacker on the right. As a rule, one finger means blocking a blow to the line, two fingers - blocking a blow to the diagonal, a hand clenched into a fist means that the player will not place the block, and an open hand means blocking "into the ball." When serving, “flashing” with a hand, that is, alternately squeezing the hand into a fist and unclasping it, means that the blocker wants his or her partner to serve the player on the appropriate side of the court.

Battle: this is done on both legs and is characteristic of volleyball. Contact with the ground is made from the heel, then the foot of the foot ends. Knees slightly bent, trunk slightly tilted forward, arms bent from the elbow joint, lying close to the body, slightly backward.

Jumping: Doing, loosening on the ground with the legs extending and waving the arms outstretched forward. The balancing lever rises to shoulder level, and the one with which he hits the ball rises up and back, bending over the elbow joint. Kick the ball: run with your arm extended, open your palm, and the fist is flexible by pressing the direction of the ball.

Beach Volleyball History
California (USA) is considered the birthplace of beach volleyball, on the beaches of which, in the early 1920s, playgrounds appeared and the first teams of 6 people were assembled.
It is possible that beach volleyball was born a little earlier. A version was circulated that in the 1910s in Hawaii, members of a local surf club, including the famous American swimmer, surfer and water polo player Duke Kahanamoku, often waited for a good wave in volleyball right on the beach. Later, Kahanamoku becomes the head of the Santa Monica Beach Club, having done a lot for the development of the game. In 1930, the first beach volleyball match was held in Santa Monica with teams of two.
In Europe, they learned about the beach-first time thanks to French nudists: in 1927, the game became the main entertainment on the beach in Franconville, a place north-west of Paris. Over time, the game became widespread in other European countries: in Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Latvia. In Brazil, beach volleyball has gained popularity since the 1950s.
The first official beach volleyball tournament was held in 1947 in California. In 1965, the first in the history of beach-will organization was created - the California Beach Volleyball Association, which develops the first uniform rules. In the 1960s, on the beaches of California, the game became as popular as surfing. Performances of athletes are accompanied by beauty contests and all sorts of representations, interest in the beach will show The Beatles, Marilyn Monroe and President John F. Kennedy. In 1976, the first unofficial world championship was held in the USA. The Association of Professional Volleyball Players (AVP), established in 1983, organizes a series of tournaments with a large prize pool.
In 1986, beach volleyball was recognized by the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB), in February 1987, under its auspices, the World Championships were held in Rio de Janeiro, which was still unofficial, with the winners being Randy Stoklos and Christopher Smith. In 1990, a new structure appeared at FIVB - the International Beach Volleyball Council. Since 1992, women have participated in official beach volleyball competitions.
In 1992, the beach will was included in the program of the Olympic Games in Barcelona as an exemplary sport. September 24, 1993 at the 101st session of the IOC in Monte Carlo, he was recognized as an Olympic sport, and in 1996 he made his official debut at the Olympic Games. In September 1997, the first official world championship was held in Los Angeles.
By the end of the 1990s, FIVB began controlling beach volleyball around the world — the American associations WPVA (women's professional tour) and AVP (men's professional tour) in 1998 declared bankruptcy. In 2001, AVP combined men's and women's professional tours, recreated by the efforts of Leonard Armato, a well-known sports agent, setting an equal prize pool for men and women, commensurate with the money paid in FIVB tournaments. Given the high level of beach volleyball development in the United States, the Association of Professional Volleyball Players (AVP) still plays a big role - American couples often ignore the stages of the FIVB World Tour to participate in the AVP Crocs Tour.
In 2006, the former FIVB CEO Jean-Pierre Seppi created another alternative organization that runs its own series of tournaments - FIABVB, or WVBF, with headquarters in Lausanne.
To date, Brazil and the United States remain the leaders in the world's scourge, who have won almost all world championships and Olympic tournaments. The victorious series of Brazilians who won in the overall World Tour since 1995 managed to interrupt only the athletes from Argentina Mariano Barasetti and Martin Conde in 2001 and the Germans Julius Brink / Jonas Reckerman in 2009, they also became winners of the world championships. In the women's competition, one of the sets of Olympic gold medals went to a pair of Australian Nathalie Cook / Kerry Potthurst (Sydney 2000).
At the same time, there is no doubt about the high level of development of beach volleyball in a number of other countries, including landlocked and, consequently, natural beaches Austria and Switzerland, as well as Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Russia, China (women) and others.
The names of the outstanding masters of beach volleyball - Karch (Charles) Kiray, Randy Stoklos, Kerry Potthurst, Holly MacPick are included in the Hall of Fame gallery of honor in World Volleyball (Massachusetts). Hungarian-American Kirai is generally a unique person: a two-time Olympic champion in volleyball (1984, 1988) in the US team, the winner of the first Olympic beach volleyball tournament (1996), he began his sports career with the track and field all-around champion, becoming the USA junior champion, and completed in 2007, at 46, with 148 victories in international beach volleyball tournaments (122 in AVP).
In order to popularize beach volleyball, FIVB often initiates tournaments not on beaches, but in places of worship in capital cities: the 2005 World Championships were held in the very center of Berlin - on the Shlossplatz square, the Grand Slam World Tour stages at the Eiffel Tower in Paris , on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow.

Landing: starts immediately after the impact, lowering the arms and balancing the body, supporting the ground on both legs, knees gently bend when in contact with the ground to soften the return to the ground. Attack: Performed primarily against a single or clown.

The execution of the pulse does not take into account the height of the rise. The last step of the pulse is small, losing speed and jump height. The beating is carried out through the sole, canceling the course of the heel foot. The position of the body segments at the time of the beating does not take into account the weakening of the posture of the "bow".

The ball is hit with the help of a bent arm, a closed hand and a fist joint. Main technical defensive actions. Removal from work with two hands down. Technical execution: an action by which a player comes into contact with a ball given by an opponent with a two-handed downward stroke in order to pass it on to a teammate for lifting or even hitting. Components of the main mechanism of return are: the initial position, the action of the legs, the torso and arms, the kick of the ball, the action after the strike.

Starting position: the player looks towards service. The legs are slightly bent and bent at the knee, the body weight is equally distributed on both legs, which allows you to quickly move in any direction. The action of the legs, torso and arms: this is a stretched movement of three segments, which begins with stretching the legs, straightening the chest and sending the movement into the arms. At the beginning of this straightening, they stretch and are captured by the hands in front of the player’s body. This action is directed to the ball, forward and obliquely upward.

Bolt strike: it is made at the level of the forearms, above the fist joint, on the "plateau" formed by the proximity of two hands. The meeting with the ball, which must be applied, is at a certain height from the ground at the pool level. The ball is followed by the movement of its leader in the direction of transmission with the hands, which acts as a point with a fulcrum in the shoulders.
