Beach Volleyball

Beach Volleyball, which debuted at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, is expected to be a very popular event at Sydney in 2000. Sydney's famous Bondi Beach is the venue for beach Volleyball and a temporary 10,000 capacity arena will be constructed as well as warm up and practice areas. Athletes will have to cope with hot sun and sand and must also be very agile, as only two players on each team play on a full sized volleyball court.
