Beach volleyball, a sport that combines the relaxation of the beach with the intensity of volleyball! Played outdoors, often on sand, this sport not only promotes physical fitness, but also offers a fun and social setting, ideal for sunny days. The team play and strategy required strengthen the bonds between players, while providing a complete body workout.
Born in the 1920s in Santa Monica, California, beach volleyball rapidly gained in popularity, becoming an Olympic sport in 1996. Played mainly in pairs, the sport demands considerable agility, coordination and strength, as players have to run and jump across the sand, adding a level of difficulty and intensity to traditional volleyball.
And if you'd like to try your hand at the sport, the good news is that clubs are opening their doors all over the region to help you discover this Olympic sport! That's why the Sortiraparis editorial team has put together a list of clubs and courts that are freely accessible, so you can give free rein to your desire to play beach volleyball. All you have to do is take off your flip-flops and heat up the ball!
