Beach Volleyball:
What You Need to Know
By Mary Helen Sprecher, American Sports Builders Association
B
each volleyball made its first appearance at
the Olympics in 1992 and by 1996 had firmly
cemented its place as a medal sport. It rocketed
through the NCAA's Emerging Sports for Women
program, achieving full championship status in only three
years. Now, with scholarships being offered in the sport,
beach volleyball facilities are in demand in high schools
as well as in clubs, and in tournament venues, as well as
at the college level, where explosive growth continues.
If you are thinking of putting in beach volleyball
facilities, there is good news: You don't need a beach.
Many facilities being built today are in landlocked
areas and once installed, see near-immediate use. The
American Sports Builders Association's members have
provided the following insights:
* Beach volleyball courts are not big sandboxes and
they're not self-maintaining. Building in the proper
drainage and developing a schedule for regular
maintenance will result in a facility that remains a
pleasure for players to use.
* Don't hit the Internet looking for facility dimensions;
the information you find there is often outdated
or outright wrong. ASBA's publication, Courts
& Recreational Surfaces: Construction and
Maintenance Manual, provides information on
clearances, court sizes, construction, and clearances.
To order, go to www.sportsbuilders.org, and on the
top blue toolbar, mouse over " Resources, " then select
" Publications. "
* If there is no team yet, develop (and promote) league
play to bring in players; a local volleyball club can
likely do a demo day, explaining the rules.
* Develop parking near the courts; it will be needed.
