Basics of Beach Volleyball
Sand or beach volleyball rules are much different than indoor volleyball. Common mistakes for beginners deal with setting the ball, dinks and side changes. Here are some of the basics for sand volleyball:
Setting
Basic sand volleyball rules state that you're allowed to hold the ball a tad bit longer than a normal indoor set. For this purpose, the ball cannot spin more than 3/4 of a turn or it is counted as an illegal set. Other illegal setting moves include setting the serve and side setting over the net. The only way you can set over the net is if you are looking straight ahead and the ball goes in that direction.
Tips
In sand volleyball, there are no open hand tips. All tips must be contacted with either the knuckles, straight finger tips or strictly palm action with no finger touching the ball. For a game of sand volleyball, technique over power is needed.
Scoring
All games in sand volleyball are played by rally scoring, meaning that every mistake counts as a point for the other team. Games are played best two out of three. The first two games go to 21 points, with the third game going to only 15. Due to weather conditions and sun rays, the teams change sides every 7 points to make sure the game is fair.
Blocking
While the hitting rules are very simple, the blocking rule is what is different. If you block the ball, but it still comes over, it is considered one of your three hits. Your team must then successfully get it back over with just 2 more hits.
While these are some basic differences between indoor and sand volleyball, the rules differ depending on the number of participants. For complete outdoor volleyball rules, please visit: www.VolleyBall.org.

The hitting rules have become simple, the blocking rule is what exactly is different. If you obstruct the ball, but that still comes over, it really is considered one of the three hits. Your team must then successfully obtain it back over with merely 2 more hits.
