Indoor Beach Volleyball

Indoor Beach Volleyball is becoming a big sport within Australia. Played inside on sand, you are surrounded by nets. Unlike regular volleyball rules, you can play the ball off any of the nets except the top one. It takes a couple games to adjust to, since most of us got it stuck in our head that we have to hit it in bounds, and arent use to hitting off nets.

If you are interested in joining, it is simple. Most people come with their own teams already, but you can also sign up on the "people looking for a team" list. There are four seasons, Summer, Fall, Spring, and Winter league. There are about 10 games throughout the season, so you are playing to make the finals.

Beach Volleyball

I got an up close look today at my first Western Australia Beach Volleyball Tournament, held at Leighton Beach in southern Perth.

Nadine has some friends that take part in the tournament, that host both boys and girls teams. There are 3 divisions. Starting from Single A, being for ameuters division, Double A, being for the experienced division, and finally, Triple A for the masters division.

Tournaments start from 730am til about 230pm and may run later. There are about 14 nets set up along the beach, with games going on every one of them. Games are serious but also laid back, with everyone knowing each other. Not to mention half of the players are hung over from the night before.

*This picture was taken of a Triple A divison match between 2 female teams. I found the girls matches to be just as exciting as the guys. The guys were ofcourse more athletic, but the girls seemed to be more graceful...

Directions: Touaments are held at different beaches every week, up and down the coast or Perth and the out skirts...
