Beach volleyball has been in the Olympics since 1996 (Atlanta). The favored teams are the USA, Australia and Brazil. The beach volleyball court is a fraction of the size of an indoor volleyball court and is played on sand which must be at least 16 inches deep. The ball is slightly bigger than a normal volleyball and is pumped to a lower pressure. This is the link to the official Olympic beach volleyball page.
