Playing Volleyball
The main tournament is played as a set of six-a-side competitions for Men's, Women's and Mixed teams. Each competition is divided into a series of divisions, and you should enter the one that most closely matches your standard.

Normal rules apply with scoring to 25 over 2 or 3 sets depending on pools and timing.
This year, we will also run a 2-a-side competition to offer extra play for the more energetic players in the main tournament.
The 2-a-side is played on 8x8m grass courts.
Remember that the 2 a-side competition runs after the 6-a-side - it begins at about 4pm on Saturday and concludes on Sunday. If you are looking for a dedicated beach tournament, this is not it - every year someone fails to read the info and complains that they have travelled all this way only to play a few hours of 2-a-side.....
We set aside a court for kids, with a lower net and close to the tournament HQ. During the day, we organise some coaching sessions - so bring along the youngsters, and listen out for announcements, or ask at HQ.
