How to bring beach volleyball to local parks
Beach volleyball is kicking sand in the face of other sports as its popularity continues at all levels, from youth to the Olympics.
One place it is being increasingly adopted is in adult social-league play in parks across the country. If a park hasn’t added courts yet, it’s only a matter of time.
The good news: beach volleyball is a relatively easy sport to implement, with no beach required. In fact, courts are being installed in landlocked locations nationwide.
If a park wants to add courts for beach volleyball, there will probably be a number of items on the departmental to-do list. Here’s one to take off: scouring the internet for advice on installation and maintenance.
Going through the web has its advantages; however, when it comes to getting reliable information on how to build courts that can provide lasting, enjoyable, and safe playing experiences, leaders should ask the experts, meaning the people who build these facilities regularly—not the guy who put a court in his backyard for his kids to use one summer and then posted photos online.
Choose a contractor skilled in sports-facility construction who will be able to create a product that provides safe, enjoyable, competitive use. A contractor will also be essential when it comes to creating a facility that conforms to the standards of the appropriate governing body.
