How Do You Use Hand Signals In Beach Volleyball?
Beach volleyball can be a very challenging sport to play. To those that have never played competitively you might thinking two players cover the entire court with a lot of luck. The reality is the partners cover an entire court with communication instead of luck. The two players in a beach volleyball game on the team always know where each other will be, based on hand signals. Signal to your partner to the type of serve you will make when you are the server. After you receive the volleyball before walking behind the back line of the court to serve, give your partner a hand signal to indicate which side of the court you will be serving to and if the serve will be short or long. Placing one finger on your back indicates you will be serving to your side of the court, placing two fingers split apart on your back indicates you will be serving to the side of the court that your partner is on. Use your fingers to indicate how deep you will serve the ball into the opponent’s side of the court.
