Hit the Beach

So, the indoor season's left you in pieces. Knees still a wee bit sore? Back playing tricks on you? Shoulders a little grizzly? Awh diddums. Get down to the beach, play a couple of games on the sand and you'll be right as rain...
Yep. The beach season is with us once again and you're all invited. No seriously, there's enough room for everyone and if you're really lucky there might even be a couple of buckets and spades to keep the big kids happy.

It's too hard!

Don't be such a light weight. For those who have played on sand you'll know that it's not tough at all. You can do all the things that you do indoors outdoors. It's easy peasy.
Jumping is easy and doesn't hurt your knees. Serving's a doddle. Digging the ball doesn't hurt because the ball is softer. And you don't have to worry about who's ball it is cos it's nearly always yours.....
See, it's not hard at all and it will do you the world of good if you're wanting to increase your jump.

I want to play...

Now that we've convinced you that beach volleyball is for you let's look at getting you onto the sand... This years Scottish Tour is the biggest yet. Ten, yep ten weekends of guaranteed Scottish sunshine from the 17th May until the 16th August and the great thing is that these sunny days are scheduled to coincide with each of our tour dates - fantastic.
Beach Volleyball in Scotland has something for everyone: recreational 4v4 to the highly acclaimed Division One 2-a-side competitions; prizes; trophies; bbq's; ice cream; sandcastles; gazebos; and above all a truly great atmosphere where just being there is all part of the fun. tell me more
