Beach volleyball can be played with as few as twopeople on each team, making a total of four people. However, if you are lessskilled and experienced in the game, it will be easier to play with a largerteam. The more players you have, the less ground each person will beresponsible(负责)for covering and the more time they willhave to recover in between shots. If you only have a few players, each of youwill get quite a workout running for the ball after each volley. If you arelooking for that relaxing, fun, low-key experience, choose larger teams.

Beach volleyball is similar(相似)to regular volleyball in its rules. However, evenexperienced volleyball players do not realize how much more difficult it is torun and jump on sand.
