Summer Sports on the Shore
Home » Summer » Summer Fun at the Beach » Summer Sports on the ShoreIn addition to all the potential fun in the water at the beach, there are many ways to play in the sand that will liven up your vacation. Here are a few ideas for summer fun on the shore:
• Beach Volleyball. This sport is played on beaches around the world on sand courts with teams of two players each. Most of the rules are the same as indoor volleyball, except that the court is a bit smaller, the standard for double hits with overhand passes is stricter, it is legal to move under the net as long as you're not keeping your opponent from hitting the ball, and a few other differentiations. It is a sport that can be played casually among friends just for fun or competitively - still fun.
• Beach Soccer. This is the beach version of America's soccer (the rest of the world's football), and it takes a lot of skill and agility. Each team has 5 players and 3 to 5 subs, and because of a few differences in the beach version of the game, it is usually high scoring - a goal about every 4 minutes. This game is fast paced and fun, a great way to spend a summer day at the beach. Oh, and you're not allowed to wear shoes.
• Sand Play. Go to the beach... Play in the sand. It's just natural, and kids and adults have been doing it for ages. Some of your options are building a sand castle or other sand sculpture, helping to partially bury someone in the sand, or having competitions with any other sand play of your choice.
