• Beach volleyball combines competition, exercise and social connection, making it an easy way for adults to stay active while still enjoying the game.
Beach volleyball was a recreational sport long before it became an Olympic one. Its roots stretch back to Waikiki in 1915, when members of Hawaii’s Outrigger Canoe Club began playing volleyball on the beach. (Olympics)
More than a century later, that casual spirit remains one of the game’s biggest strengths. Recreational players don’t have to cover the sand two-on-two like the pros.
