Sand Volleyball Rules  
Do's/Don'ts 

Tags: beach, volleyball, sand, rules, illegal, hit

This is what you can and can't do when playing beach volleyball:

1.	The block counts as the first contact.
2.	Open-hand dinks, where a player uses his or her finger tips to redirect the ball into the opponent's court, are illegal.
3.	It is legal to cross under the net as long as doing so does not interfere with the opponents' attempt to play the ball.
4.	Players are not required to rotate positions; they must alternate service, but there are no 'rotation errors'.
5.	Most players, either by choice or by requirement of the rules, play the game barefoot.
6.	A player may only have one toss per serve attempt.
7.	The ball can be played with all parts of the body.
8.	The ball is softer (lower internal pressure) and very slightly bigger than an indoor volleyball.
9.	When digging a hard-driven spike it can be double-hit and momentarily lifted. Open hand digs are okay.
10.	The server must clearly release or toss the ball before contacting it
11.	The “let” serve is played.
12.	Switch sides with opponent every 5 points in a game to 15 and every 4 points in a game to 11 to equalize the advantage of sun, wind, etc.
