I know it is just bitterly cold in northern Europe and Germany these days and continuing to write about
Wintersports like i did last time wont get anybody in a better mood who isn´t into
the cold season and enjoys Winterholidays .
So i thought i might can lift your spirits and get a few of you a little bit into a summer feeling
by writing about , in my opinion , one of the best and sports at the beach !
Beach-Volleyball !
Beach-Volleyball is obviously a sport everybody knows and has played already sometime in his
or her life .
Whether it was with friends and family at vacations or or with just a single teammate ,like Competitive Beach-Volleyball is played with two teams consisting each of two players .
The game itself was originated in Southern California even though the first beach volleyball games
took place on the beaches of Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawai’i .
Especially over the last couple of decades the sport became more and more popular
and due to this rise in attention the FIVB created the first World Beach Volleyball Championships,
played in Rio de Janiero, Brazil in 1987.
Beach-Volleyball tournaments nowadays are played worldwide,even in countries without traditional beaches like Switzerland and even cities like New York , Singapore or Berlin and the sport even had its Olympic debut in 1996.
At the time there is also a very successful German Team on the Tour,with Jonas Reckermann and Julius Brinck
who became World champions in 2009.

The Rules are actually quite common to the ones in indoor Volleyball but there are differences especially concerning
blocking because we just have 2 players on the field instead of 6.
And this is also why Beach-Volleyball players use a technique a lot of people might always wonder what it is about
These weird finger signs their use behind the back !
But i think this video definitely describes it better than me !
