Rules & Regulations
Indoor beach volleyball was created as a fun and continuous style of volleyball, intended to be played in a way that would cater for both social and competitive players alike. The surrounding nets provide a more dynamic format of volleyball, while the sand makes it the perfect low-impact, high-fun team sport. With the unique format comes some unique rules, so use this page as a resource to familiarise yourself with the game rules.
