Apart from playing it on the sand, there are other big differences. In official (international) matches, a beach volleyball team consists of two players, of which there are six in the hall. The beach volleyball court is smaller than the indoor volleyball court: 8 x 8 metres, while in the hall it is 9 x 9 metres. What is the same is the net height. For both beach volleyball and indoor volleyball the net height is 2.24 metres for the ladies and 2.43 metres for the men.
