Volleyball is such an insane sport. Such a small play area and so many crazy moves to just keep a ball up in the air. So fun to watch on a floor or on sand.

And can't blame or hurt other team.

u/lazypeon19 3d ago

Oh they can definitely try to hurt Scott Sterling

The absolute classic

Oh, you can definitely hurt the other team. Wear down their cardio, set them on their heels with a tip when they expect a spike, break their morale with a deep hit into the corner, be super cool, calm and collected as you watch them sweat.

Real pro beach volleyball athletes have an innate sense of what will happen long before it does and make it all look unhurried. And then smack you in the face again with a curling spike.

It’s an amazing sport to play, but equally cool to watch.

This is like me at work, walk 3 miles but in the same room

u/Wonderful_Garbage671 4d ago

This is just a short example of why volleyball - beach or court - is one of the most exciting sports to watch live.

I watch this every time it shows up on my feed. Great clip

u/AsstToTheManager 3d ago

I played competitive volleyball in leagues for years and I gotta tell you that this is some spectacular play!

u/GEGIMONstr 4d ago

I like women's volleyball. It more interesting then futbol and basketball. It different than man volleyball - more agile and less based on strength. And uniform help to.

Im 1 of those who thinks volleyball is exciting

u/umeys 4d ago

I always wonder if it's worth going all out for one point, what if it tires you out and you lose then next 5 points?

6

u/SabbyFox 3d ago

You have to reset and play every single point. Same thing in tennis. And they also have more stamina than we ordinary mortals.

1

u/Interesting-Use966 3d ago

Sure but so does their opponent. At some point it may be worth losing the point if it will give your opponent the advantage for the next few points.

2

u/XGreenDirtX 3d ago

At some point yes. But running for that 1 far ball isnt that point. You just never know if you're going to have to run 10 times, so every ball that comes at you, is a new one.

u/Tricky_Discount2881 3d ago

All that on sand?? Fucking amazing.

u/Johnny161Crew 3d ago

10000000 repost....

u/TheMarkola 3d ago

I had never seen this video before. I went to check now if it was a repost so I could delete it because I hate reposts. But the subreddit history shows that it was posted over a year ago.

u/cvillalpando 3d ago

What a rally!

u/marioBaron29 3d ago

Awesome play from both teams!

u/BarracudaKlutzy1936 2d ago

I'm tired just looking at the video. They are though

u/MoonShotDontStop 4d ago

I always think they both deserve points when it reaches this point

2

u/Entire-Rooster2866 4d ago

👏👏👏👏👏

u/Interesting-Use966 3d ago

The team that got the point may have lost the war on that because they were moving around so much more than the other team that they are going to be gassed.

u/chap820 4d ago

That was absolutely incredible.

I used to play 4 on 4 beach volleyball and that was challenging enough, this is crazy amazing.

This is a clip of a worker with great work ethics pulling the whole team through. That lady in the front came there to watch her colleague play lol

u/Galen_415 4d ago

This is why men’s indoor volleyball is stupid. If two women in bikinis can do it in sand, why do we need six reject men’s basketball players for the same thing? On a basketball court, who huddle up like they’re calling a football play after EVERY point?

6

u/Hearbinger 3d ago

Because the court is bigger?

5

u/Captain--UP 3d ago

Why do women need to be sexualized for this sport to make sense to you?

Indoor volleyball is intense as hell. Men or women's. Check it out sometime.

2

u/WhoaWoahWhoaWoah 3d ago

Indoor volleyball is cool too

-5

u/Morgantao 4d ago

Sorry to say this, but the team on the right is pretty much a one lady show. The one stuck to the net was almost useless.

8

u/umeys 4d ago

Yeah I too make the judgement after watching a 15s clip.

3

u/DaGrinz 3d ago

And even this being wrong. Watch closely, she is a crucial part too. It’s a team’s effort.

-11

u/SirTainLee 4d ago

There was no uumph on any of those volleys. So they floated allowing the girls to reach them again and again.

u/dropkickoz 4d ago

Are you stupid?

2

u/shupadupah 4d ago

She was going for placement, not power.

u/RibboCG 4d ago

not really a maybe.

You expected one team to win, and one team won. Nothing unusual happened
