The Court: The beach court measures 26.25 feet by 52.5 feet (8.00 m × 16.00 m)

The Ball: Beach volleyballs have a heavier weight than standard indoor balls and they are slightly larger, have a rougher external texture, and a lower internal pressure. They may be brightly colored or solid white.

The Net: Portable nets have tubular aluminum posts secured by guy ropes. The posts are in sections to allow for height adjustment. They take just a few minutes to erect and dismantle, packing away in a carry bag, including lines to mark the court.

The height of the net is 2.43m off the ground for men’s tournaments and 2.24m off the ground for women’s tournaments.
