Beach Volleyball Tip #3: How to Get a Game

If you have a group, it's best to arrive at the beach early to claim a net without waiting for one to open up. If you show up with only a partner, you can "challenge on" to a court: ask the people currently playing if you and your partner can play the winner of their match. If you beat the winners, you stay on the court. This can be a bit dicey as it is extremely important to assess the skill level of the court you are challenging on to before you throw down the gauntlet. For example, if the court has a pile of balls at the end line and the average height of the players is over 6'0", avoid this court. They are pros and they would not take kindly to challengers. Once on a court, keep the games continuous if the beach is busy. It is considered bad etiquette to leave the net empty for long periods of time to take breaks while others are waiting to play.
