I know it is just bitterly cold in northern Europe and Germany these days and continuing to write about
Wintersports like i did last time wont get anybody in a better mood who isn´t into
the cold season and enjoys winter holidays .
So i thought i might can lift your spirits and get a few of you a little bit into a summer feeling
by writing about , in my opinion , one of the best and sports at the beach !
Official Tour Ball
Beach-Volleyball is obviously a sport everybody knows and has played already sometime in his
or her life .
Whether it was with friends and family at vacations or or with just a single teammate ,like Competitive Beach-Volleyball is played with two teams consisting each of two players .
The game itself was originated in Southern California even though the first beach volleyball games
took place on the beaches of Waikiki in Honolulu, Hawai’i .
Especially over the last couple of decades the sport became more and more popular
and due to this rise in attention the FIVB created the first World Beach Volleyball Championships,
played in Rio de Janiero, Brazil in 1987.
Beach-Volleyball tournaments nowadays are played worldwide,even in countries without traditional beaches like Switzerland and even cities like New York , Singapore or Berlin and the sport even had its Olympic debut in 1996.
At the time there is also a very successful German Team on the Tour,with Jonas Reckermann and Julius Brinck
who became World champions in 2009.

The Rules are actually quite common to the ones in indoor Volleyball but there are differences, especially concerning
the blocking game because we just have 2 players on the field instead of 6.
And this is also why Beach-Volleyball players use a technique a lot of people might always wonder what it is all about.
These weird finger signs their use behind their backs !
But i think this video definitely describes it better as i could,so enjoy :

Hello and welcome to the wonderful World of sports !!!
In this blog i would like to give insights, share facts and opinions and sometimes even emotions
about a topic that i am really passionate about myself and which influences people
all over the world!
I mean this is a quite huge topic and damn right i cant talk about every single Sport on the planet ,
but will try to focus on the most popular sports but also considering every part of the globe
to give a good overview of what other nations like to play and what else is out there
we might haven´t heard about yet . Because : Different culture = Different Sports !
And because i think that pretty much everybody likes to do or (if not physically) is at least interested in some kind of sporting activity i also hope to get some feedback and maybe even more impressions and suggestions for further topics :
i am also always open to get to know and try new sporting Exercises !
Thanks , and have fun !!!
I love Sports

did you know that there is a rule that says that women “have to” wear bikinis when they play official games???
if anybody knows why, please tell me!
Yes that is true ,fortunately
. Their are even just allowed to wear bikinishorts which are not brider then 5 cm at the side ! this is also One of the reasons Why the Game is really controversial in pretty much every islamic country .
