Indoor Sand Volleyball 101: An Introduction

Derek Duke Noble goes for the spike with indoor sand volleyball. Beach VB players play indoors through the winter in places where it's too cold to play outside.

It's refreshing to see something that goes relatively unnoticed (in the larger scale of things) so comprehensively covered. Beach volleyball is not just a summertime, outdoor sport. If you enjoy it enough, you can find places to play during the colder months (if you are located in the Northeast, like us).
