Beach Volleyball Rules and Lessons with Coach Cindy Phillips

[blogsdo12]

If I read the rules correctly, I can set over the net as long as my shoulders are parallel to the direction of the set, either backward or facing. BUT if this is correct does the set still have to come out super clean with no spin when used as an attack?? Thank you, great video!

@blogsdo12 Yes the set over does still have to be clean. You don't see it happen very often. Almost never at the pro level.

the rules shouldn't be stricter, since it's on the beach-except the one about tipping. 

[Cindybeachdig]

@videosareforfags I agree!

if anyone has another description for the illegal tipping i would appreciate it.. didn't catch it in the movie :)

[Cindybeachdig]

@KBLnig "tipping" like they do in indoor is illegal on the beach. In order to do a short shot or "dink" on the beach you need to use your knuckles. You can not use an open hand to throw or direct the ball like you can indoors. If you are going to contact with an open and you need to HIT the ball. So instead we "poke" the ball using stiff knuckles that look sort of like a cobra. Hope this helps!!

Since the block counts as a touch does that mean if you block it, you cant touch the ball again until your teammate touches it?

[Cindybeachdig]

Yes you can play the ball again after you block it. And that will be your 2nd contact so you have to play the ball so your partner can get it over the net!

could you slow down the clip on the tipping and double contact? an amateur would have trouble seeing what is going on. great tips, thanks for sharing!
