Beach Volleyball is one of the fastest developing sports in the world. It was one of the first sports sold out at Rio Olympics in 2016.
With Dubai blessed with vast and beautiful beaches and with a beautiful weather over 7 months a year no wonder beach volleyball is growing fast and gains more popularity among both kids and adults. At RIO Academy we have seen number of players on the beach doubled since 2019. More and more teenagers and adults are picking up the new sport every year.
Everybody can play volleyball. At least that is what majority of people will tell you. If we ask a group of 10 year old kids if they can play volleyball 9 out of 10 will tell you they know how to play volleyball because they played with their parents on holidays on the beach or because they have seen other people playing volleyball on the beach. If you ask your friends or colleagues 9 out of 10 will tell you they know exactly how to play volleyball because they played in the schools or occasionally with friends.
