You will want to deposit one to two feet of volleyball sand over the area prepped for drainage and rake level. Most volleyball players new and experienced don't like to play beach volleyball in a cloud of dust or in sand that cuts up their knees and elbows. Building a beach volleyball court with bad sand typically results in a court which doesn't get used. Sand has become a passion of ours due to the fact that we have seen so many beautiful volleyball courts over the years with horrible sand. The plane of the net serves as an invisible center line of the court, dividing it into two halves.

(For safety reasons we recommend removing the lines at night to protect people from tripping and injuring themselves). The boundary lines should be made of brightly colored tape or rope having similar characteristics (Note: Ropes can sometimes leave burns if you contact them accidentally, thick 2' wide webbing is what is recommended and what the professionals use). (We still prefer to build to the 6 on 6 court size so our courts accommodate both sizes and in case the 2 on 2 court size returns to the larger size.) The new 2 on 2 court size is 26'3' x 52'6'. Playing area should be level and consist of good quality sand to a thickness which prevents players from contacting the underlying surface.ĭimensions of the court are 29'6' feet by 59' feet and are measured from the outer edge of the boundary lines. The space above the playing area should be free of obstructions.

International organizations suggest 70 feet x 100 feet space with a 20 foot buffer around the court but we feel this is excessive due to the increased cost of sand around the court. If you don't have this space, smaller courts can be built, call 1-80 for recommendations. The playing area consists of the court and a safety space around it measuring 10 feet in each direction (50 feet x 80 feet). 1) Suggested Playing Area / Court Dimensions
