Why Beach Volleyball?
Beach volleyball has an advantage in that it forces the athlete to improve at every aspect of the sport: serving, passing, setting, hitting, reading the hitter, digging, conditioning, and communication. Unlike indoor, athletes are not able to specialize in certain skills, and weaknesses are consequently magnified on the beach. Moving in sand, from running, jumping, or just simply shuffling into defensive position, is far more difficult than moving on the court. Sand is a great training tool for improving strength, speed, and agility. It provides continuous resistance that challenges your muscles in all movement planes, helping to improve strength and explosiveness. The instability associated with the shifting of sand activates small stabilizing muscles that improve balance and reduce the risk of injury.
Benefits for Juniors
Beach volleyball is exploding in popularity, and is one of the fastest growing sports for juniors due to its popularity in the Olympics and due to new scholarship opportunities that exist at universities. Many junior indoor programs are incorporating beach training into their programs, or strongly encouraging their players to pursue beach volleyball to assist in skill progression. For juniors, beach volleyball offers many new opportunities - improved skills and fundamentals, stronger and more diverse volleyball resume, and increased opportunities to gain college scholarships.
Weather you are looking to improve your indoor game for club/high school or take your beach game to the next level training in the sand is the most effective.
