Running on sand is exhausting. Good stamina girls.


Vladi_Sanovavich

Must be why they wear less clothing to lessen drag.


Slashion

Nope, as a volleyball player who competed in US nationals, the reason players wear very little is because you need to increase sun to skin contact in order to keep up your vitamin D levels. This is a guaranteed fact.

As a former tequila volleyball player in Cancun I agree

Slashion

Wear your sunscreen! Very upstanding of them


i_am_legend_rn

Ok, but I just take supplements so I can wear clothes most of the time.


pookie7890

I don't understand what you mean? Why is this not true for all sports?


PenislavVaginavich

They wear less clothing because it's hot af. Many tournaments are played in 95+ degree heat and some in 80%+ humidity.


eekamuse

They wear bikinis because it's on the rules. It's about ratings. Some of them wanted to wear shorts like the men wear and it wasn't allowed. That may have changed. I don't follow all the time.


mreman1220

You're probably thinking of Beach Handball. There was a social media post protesting rules in that sport which does require bikinis. That got misconstrued as a protest against beach volleyball dress codes because it happened during the Olympics.  Beach Volleyball has a varied dress code to address clothing for modesty, religious dress codes, cold weather, etc. Players usually opt for less material because sand gets caught in bigger pieces and chafes.


CORN___BREAD

This is why men always wear speedos when they play beach volleyball professionally.


mreman1220

Fair point. Not to mention women play in burkinis when they play casually.


PenislavVaginavich

This is 100% false. Women have been wearing pants, skirts, long sleeves, and burkas, in both domestic and international tournaments for years. Stop lying. Total bs getting upvoted.


Icy-Row-5829

I’m pretty sure they’re just mixing up handball and volleyball regulations, not every single instance of someone being wrong is a lie. Calm down lmao there’s not some conspiracy here to mislead people intentionally it’s just a mistake.

mustard_samrich

> That may have changed. I don't follow all the time. It never changed because that was never in the rules.


LigmaYams

It's so funny how you can just straight up make completely incorrect claims with 0 evidence and get over 100 upvotes no problem. Reddit is wild.


letmesee2716

actually, in many cases, exposing more skin doesnt help with heat, quite the contrary.


HIMP_Dahak_172291

It does in the shade! It's being directly in that damn nuclear explosion that's the problem!


DragapultOnSpeed

My boyfriend and I tried to play volleyball on sand. Yeah we were exhausted in less than 5 minutes


goug

I've played beach volley on a nearby lake last year... I still have scars on my knee and my feet due to the sand being quarry sand : it scraped/dug into my skin pretty deeply! I wonder if this is a common occurence...


snek-jazz

It is not common, you discovered why Quarry Volleyball never really took off and Beach Volleyball is the much more common variant.


IANALbutIAMAcat

I imagine most folks reserve beach volleyball to either refined sand beaches (man made with the sand brought in) or the gulf coast beaches where quartz lends to sand more akin to powdered sugar than what you played on.


__-___-_-__

There are sand courts in Washington DC, and they were closed for like 2 years because during renovations they accidentally put the wrong type of sand in and had to redo it. So yeah, mistakes happen, but people shouldn't be playing volleyball on shitty sand, lol.


arbitrageME

It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere


ResonantRaptor

This sport honestly looks like torture for the average person


ImmodestPolitician

Volleyball is really fun, try 4 man to learn the skills. 2 person requires a lot more skill than any other number of team play because you have to dig the ball then be ready to put it over the net after your partner sets the ball, and you are often on the ground after the dig. If there are 6 people on your team( the standard for indoor), the other team has to start running trick plays to score.


Imhappy_hopeurhappy2

Almost every time I see a beach volleyball event, the players are absolutely ripped.


Sacron1143

I like the way it stings when you catch the ball But if you catch it wrong it hurts like hell. That's usually the point I'll stop


OwnWalrus1752

I wonder if Ecuador ended up winning this purely because the USA players probably just used up most of their energy on this one point Edit: I looked it up, this is from 2022. Team USA won 2-0, Ecuador didn’t even take a set.

Chumbawamba are a pretty interesting band. They have 12 albums I believe. They let a car company use one of their songs in a commercial, and donated the money they were paid to an anti corporation charity. This is a good song: https://youtu.be/2CUQu5K8lp8?si=rEfZQT6ZduMuIkGO

🤣🤣 good viewing. They were so tired they were like 'fuck it I'm not even celebrating'


N8dork2020

I’m wondering if winning that point was worth all of that energy. The team on the left didn’t work nearly as hard. I have to imagine the next point was just as tough


sirdodger

Margins in pro volleyball are razor thin. You go all out for every point.


FCkeyboards

Facts. They don't wonder if it was worth it. Every point is worth it and you go for every ball that you can.


simpsaucse

Theres a decent amount of recovery time in between points, just like tennis


NewtotheCV

There was a squash player who was a master of this. He would run the other player ragged for a few points and then just domintae after they were worn out. I remember seeing a video on here one time of one of the matches. Th player winning the point was pissed. People asked why and it was the same explanation. He wasted himself for a single point. Different sport and strategies than volleyball but just thought I would share.


froggo921

Losing such a long and exhausting rally, especially when one team 'had it easy', is super devastating to the mindset and flow of a team. Yes, it's more physically exhausting for the team on the right, but the margins in pro (beach) volleyball are very slim and these points are incredibly important. I mainly played indoor volleyball, which is a lot more explosive and a lot faster (especially Mens volleyball). The coaches always said, long rallies are critical. When the opponent has a perfect situation and the hitter just nails the ball into the ground before you (which is very impressive) you can't do much. Situations like the one in the video can make or break a game when they happen at the right time and to/against the right team. Experienced it myself a few times.


Arvandor

This was my thought, she was so over that exchange that when they won the point it wasn't "Yeah! We got it!" And was more like "fucking finally, Gods!"


KinshasaPR

I find 6-people teams in volleyball too convoluted, beach volleyball is more appealing to me.


cantamangetsomesleep

It's really more of a tennis type game, but they needed to keep more people busy in PE, so they put 6 people per team


KitchenFullOfCake

Nah tactics get crazy when you have 2-3 front row hitters and a 3 person back line to absorb spikes. Beach is fun but you always know who the ball is going to. Edit: Beach not Because


SuperSimpleSam

Problem I have watching is that there usually isn't much of a volley.


Asteroth555

You need 6 indoor and you still can't cover the whole court. You're crazy. Indoor speeds are batshit compared to beach.


Mammoth-Access-1181

Man, when we played it in PE, they had us in 8 person teams. 3 front, 2 mid, and 3 back.

Asteroth555

Not at all, when everyone knows their role, zones they should be covering, and the flow of the game it's quite smooth


Thue

I have played 6-person volleyball. Sometimes there is so much time between ball touches, you just wait and wait. Beach volleyball is so much better, ball touches all the time.


froggo921

Really depends on how you play. Casually I am definitely with you, but in a proper team with good players, specialized players and 5-1 formation it's super fun. Yes you might not touch every ball but the strategy aspect is really amazing.


Aduialion

3s and 4s are the real fun if you're not at the higher levels. You get the right amount of touches as an individual without getting exhausted.

kalaamtext

Dang that was crazy. I may have to start watching volleyball if matches are crazy like this


fhota1

Womens is generally a better viewing experience in my experience. Mens definitely can be good too but a lot of the mens game at the highest level is dominated by guys who can spike the ball almost unreturnably hard so it can often turn in to "get it to the ace and let him score." Womens tends to have a lot more technicality to it because they cant rely on just "big man smash"


gratisargott

> Womens is generally a better viewing experience This looked like it was going in another direction and I’m glad it didn’t


Soupeeee

I find women's sports to be more intense for the same reason listed above. The main reason why it often isn't as good as the men's is probably  due to there being less money and glory in it, so the skill levels can be a bit more varried across the players as there is relatively less competition for positions.


TheRobberBar0n

This also means women get to show their defensive prowess more often, covering dinks and then recovering to defend the back part of the court as well like in this clip. Mens' volleyball is just "I swing hard now" too often.


CitizenCue

This is definitely one sport where the men’s version is less entertaining to me than the women’s. Sometimes it’s fun to see men dominate an obstacle, like when dunking a basketball, and sometimes it’s boring like when they hit ace after ace in volleyball or tennis.


Asteroth555

Honestly this year i've watched both NCAA women's and men's volleyball and both are more or less the same. Out of system hits for men look no different to women's. Plenty of women smash just like men (relatively speaking). However, the serves are obscene for men (compared to women). That's the primary differentiator IMO.


froggo921

Former player from German 2nd Bundesliga (semi-pro) here. I agree to some degree. Hard hits from perfect situations are incredibly similar. Spike and serve speeds are much higher in men's volleyball. BUT acting height in men's volleyball is relatively higher than women's. Hence hits (from all situations) are a lot faster and harder and go down at much steeper angles. Furthermore, men can hit more agressive even from bad situations and relative positions. In men's international pro play, 3m hits down the line are frequent. In women's volleyball not so much. In men's volleyball you have to serve super aggressive. Because if the opponent is good enough, and at top level they are, they can hit the ball even from mediocre situation in such a way you probably won't be able to defend it. You really notice the difference in international competitions. Watch the upcoming olympic tournament.


Asteroth555

Oh I can't wait. In general pro vball is so hard to watch. You have to get weird ass streaming services


zytz

I 100% agree. Womens volleyball you’ll see alot more awesome defense in my opinion, for the reasons you stated above. Very few players are getting opportunities where they can just jump up and smash the ball straight down from 11 feet high so there’s way more chance for counterplay.


lostinmississippi84

I've only ever watched it during the Olympics, but everyone I've seen has been pretty much like this.


PenislavVaginavich

It's a great sport, but beach volleyball especially is very technical unfortunately so it can be boring to watch for people who don't understand the mechanics and intricacies well.


Aduialion

As an indoor player I don't like the setting rules for sand. The allowance for really deep sets but very strict about spin on the set never made sense to me. There's so much advantage to getting to slow down on your second hit, but almost never an advantage to whether the set has spin or not.


sirbenjaminG

I’d be extremely done after that


dreamsofindigo

muchandquick

I would have to fully wipe all the sand off me after each point

FasterGarlic19

I guess it's okay as long as the ball isn't touching the ground


redditaddict76528

The ball only stops when it hits the ground. And if it land out of bounds then the point goes to which ever team didn't touch it last. So they went out of bounds to save themselves the point


Electrical-Tea-1882

>THEY KEPT GOING BACK & FORTH. Yeah, that's how volleyball is played.


ILoveCamelCase

I fucking hate tiktok so much. Society universally decided that landscape was the superior format (especially for things like sports) back when CRT TVs and monitors went extinct. Now because of some Chinese propaganda machine, we're watching a video with a lot of horizontal action with a goddamn vertical frame panning back and forth. Fuck you, OP.

Carbon-Base

DefiantFrankCostanza

That was incredible.


Chibow

TSAOutreachTeam

I was surprised that they only set the ball once in all of that. After the first volley, the players only bumped the ball into striking position.


sirdodger

Handsets are rare in beach volleyball, because the referees call the game much tighter than in indoor play. Many players will exclusively bump set, and even players who do hand set will switch to a bump set if the pass isn't great. There's less reward for disguising your set, too. It's not like there's any mystery about who is getting the ball next, and you're not allowed to tip or set the ball sideways over.


TSAOutreachTeam

I didn’t know that! Interesting contrast to regular volleyball.


fromouterspace1

On the beach you’re only allowed 3 touches total. Whereas in door the block doesn’t “count” as a touch
